What are the different types of queue implementations?

There are several types of queue implementations, including array-based queues, linked list queues, and circular queues. Would you like to know more about any specific type?

Can you explain array-based queues?

Sure! An array-based queue uses a fixed-size array to store elements. It has a front and rear pointer to track the first and last elements. When the queue is full, you can't add more elements unless you resize the array.

What about linked list queues?

Linked list queues use nodes to store elements, where each node points to the next. This allows for dynamic sizing, meaning you can add or remove elements without worrying about a fixed size.

Are there any advantages to using circular queues?

Yes! Circular queues efficiently utilize space by connecting the end of the queue back to the front, allowing for continuous use of the array without needing to shift elements.
