What is a queue in Python's collections module?

Can you explain what a queue is in Python's collections module?

Sure! A queue is a data structure that follows the First In, First Out (FIFO) principle. In Python, you can use the Queue class from the queue module for thread-safe operations.

How do I create a queue and add items to it?

You can create a queue using from queue import Queue and then instantiate it with my_queue = Queue(). To add items, use my_queue.put(item).

What methods are available for queues?

Some common methods include put() to add items, get() to remove items, and empty() to check if the queue is empty.

Can you give me an example of using a queue?

Certainly! Here's a simple example:

from queue import Queue

my_queue = Queue()
my_queue.put(1)
my_queue.put(2)
print(my_queue.get())  # Outputs: 1
