data-structures Queue Queue Implementation by using array.

Example

Queue follow FIFO as it is mentioned in the introduction. Five major operations:

1. Enqueue(x): pushes x to the back of the queue.
2. Dequeue(): pops an element from the front of the queue.
3. isEmpty(): Finds whether the queue is empty or not.
4. isFull(): Finds whether the queue is full or not.
5. frontValue(): Returns the front value of the Queue.

All the operations are constant O(1) time.

Code:

#include<stdio.h>

#define MAX 4

int front = -1;
int rear = -1;
int a[MAX];

bool isFull() {
  if(rear == MAX-1)
    return true;
  else
    return false;    
}

bool isEmpty() {
  if(rear == -1 && front==-1)
    return true;
  else
    return false;    
}

void enqueue(int data) {
  if (isFull()){
    printf("Queue is full\n");
    return;
  } else if(isEmpty()) {
    front = rear =0;
  } else {
    rear = rear + 1;
    a[rear] = data;      
  }
}
    
void deque(){
  if(isEmpty()){
    printf("Queue is empty\n");
    return;
  } else if(front == rear) {
    front =-1;
    rear =-1;
  } else {
    front = front + 1;
  }
}
    
void print(){
  printf("Elements in Queue are\n");  
  for(int i = front;i<=rear;i++){
    printf("%d ",a[i]);
  }
  printf("\n");
}

int frontValue(){  
  printf("The front element after set of enqueue and dequeue is %d\n", a[front]);
}

int main(){
  deque();     // Queue is empty message will be thrown
  enqueue(10);
  print();
  enqueue(20);
  print();
  enqueue(30);
  print();
  enqueue(40);
  frontValue();
  print();
  enqueue(50);
  frontValue();
  deque();
  deque();
  enqueue(50);
  frontValue();
  print();                    
  return 0;
}
