Applications of Queue Data Structure
Application of queue is common. In a computer system, there may be queues of tasks waiting for the printer, for access to disk storage, or even in a time-sharing system, for use of the CPU. Within a single program, there may be multiple requests to be kept in a queue, or one task may create other tasks, which must be done in turn by keeping them in a queue.
- Queue can be used in job scheduling like Printer Spooling.
- Queue can be used where we have a single resource and multiple consumers.
- In a network, a queue is used in devices such as a router/switch and mail queue.
- Queue can be used in various algorithm techniques like Breadth First Search, Topological Sort, etc.
Introduction to Queue Data Structure
Queue Data Structure is a linear data structure that follows FIFO (First In First Out) Principle, so the first element inserted is the first to be popped out. In this article, we will cover all the basics of Queue, Operations on Queue, its implementation, advantages, disadvantages which will help you solve all the problems based on Queue.
