The document provides a comprehensive overview of queues in computer science, highlighting their definition as FIFO (first in, first out) structures where insertion occurs at the rear and deletion at the front. It details various operations associated with queues, such as enqueue and dequeue, and discusses both linear and circular queue implementations along with their advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, it outlines practical applications of queues in real-world scenarios like task scheduling and handling requests in call centers.

Insertion of an item in queue Deletion of an item from queue
1. Initialize front=0 and rear=-1
if rear>=MAXSIZE-1
print “queue overflow” and return
else
set rear=rear+1
queue[rear]=item
2. end
1. if rear<front
print “queue is empty” and return
else
item=queue[front++]
2. end

Step 1. start

Queues
- 2. Intro Ashim Lamichhane 2 Movie Hall Ticketing One Way Traffic
- 3. Intro • Queue is a linear list of elements in which deletion of an element can take place at one end, called the front and insertion can take place at the other end, called the rear. • The first element in a queue will be the first one to be removed from the list. • Queues are also called FIFO (First In First Out) i.e. the data item stored first will be accessed first Ashim Lamichhane 3
- 4. Queue Representation • In queue, we access both ends for different reasons Ashim Lamichhane 4
- 5. Applications of queue • Serving requests on a single shared resource, like a printer, CPU task scheduling etc. • In real life, Call Center phone systems will use Queues, to hold people calling them in an order, until a service representative is free. • Handling of interrupts in real-time systems. The interrupts are handled in the same order as they arrive, First come first served. Ashim Lamichhane 5
- 6. The queue as an ADT • A queue q of type T is a finite sequence of elements with the operations • MakeEmpty(q): To make q as an empty queue • IsEmpty(q): To check whether the queue q is empty. Return true if q is empty, return false otherwise. • IsFull(q): To check whether the queue q is full. Return true in q is full, return false otherwise. • Enqueue(q, x): To insert an item x at the rear of the queue, if and only if q is not full. • Dequeue(q): To delete an item from the front of the queue q if and only if q is not empty. • Traverse (q): To read entire queue that is display the content of the queue. Ashim Lamichhane 6
- 7. Enqueue Operation • Queue maintains two data pointers, front and rear • The following steps should be taken to enqueue(insert) data into queue – • Step 1 – Check if queue is full • Step 2 – if queue is full produce overflow error and exit else increment rear pointer to point next empty space and add data element to the queue location, where rear is pointing • Step 3 - return success Ashim Lamichhane 7
- 9. Implementation of enqueue() int enqueue(int data) { if(isfull()) return 0; rear = rear + 1; queue[rear] = data; return 1; } Ashim Lamichhane 9
- 10. Dequeue Operation • Accessing data from queue is a process of two steps • Access the data from where front is pointing • And remove the data after access • The following steps are taken to perform dequeue operation • Step 1 – Check if queue is empty • Step 2 – if queue is empty produce underflow error and exit else access data where front is pointing, increment front pointer to point next available data element • Step 3 – return success. Ashim Lamichhane 10
- 12. Implementation of dequeue() int dequeue() { if(isempty()) { return 0; } int data = queue[front]; front = front + 1; return data; } Ashim Lamichhane 12
- 13. Implementation of queue • There are two techniques for implementing the queue: • Array implementation of queue (static memory allocation) • Linear array implementation (Linear Queue) • Circular array Implementation (Circular queue) • Linked list implementation of queue (dynamic memory allocation) Ashim Lamichhane 13
- 14. Array implementation of queue • The easies way of implementing a queue is by using an Array. • Initially head(FRONT) and the tail(REAR) of the queue points at the first index of the array. • As we add elements to the queue, we can either move tail before adding another item or we can move the tail after adding the item, while the head remains at the first index. Ashim Lamichhane 14
- 16. Linear Queue Insertion of an item in queue Deletion of an item from queue 1. Initialize front=0 and rear=-1 if rear>=MAXSIZE-1 print “queue overflow” and return else set rear=rear+1 queue[rear]=item 2. end 1. if rear<front print “queue is empty” and return else item=queue[front++] 2. end Ashim Lamichhane 16
- 17. Problems with Linear queue implementation • Both rear and front indices are increased but never decreased. • As items are removed from the queue, the storage space at the beginning of the array is discarded and never used again. • Wastage of the space is the main problem with linear queue which is illustrated by the following example. Ashim Lamichhane 17
- 18. Circular queue • A queue where the start and end of the queue are joined together. • A circular queue is one in which the insertion of a new element is done at very first location of the queue if the last location of the queue is full. Ashim Lamichhane 18
- 20. Circular queue isFull() IsEmpty - If HEAD == (Tail % MAX) + 1 Then Full <- True; Else Full <- False; - If they have caught up to each other, then it’s full - If Head ==Tail Then Full <- True; Else Full <- False; Ashim Lamichhane 20
- 21. Circular queue Enqueue operation Dequeue operation Step 1. start Step 2. if (front == (rear+1)%max) Print error “circular queue overflow “ Step 3. else{ rear = (rear+1)%max Q[rear] = element; } Step 4. stop Step 1. start Step 2. if isEmpty() == True Print error “Queue is Empty“ Step 3. else{ element = Q[front] front = (front + 1) % max } Step 4. stop Ashim Lamichhane 21
