std::queue
std::queue represents a FIFO data structure. It is implemented as an adapter class and is typically based on other underlying containers, such as std::deque or std::list. std::queue provides a straightforward interface for working with queues, allowing you to enqueue (push) elements at the back and dequeue (pop) elements from the front. It is commonly used in C++ for situations where data needs to be processed in the order it was added, such as task scheduling, breadth-first traversal of graphs or trees, and managing work items in multi-threaded programs. std::queue ensures that the element in the queue that is the longest is the first to be dequeued, making it a useful tool for managing ordered data processing.
Purpose and suitability
std::queue is a container adapter that’s built on top of another container such as std::deque, std::list, or std::vector. Its primary purpose is to provide FIFO data access.
It’s especially suitable in the following...
