Queue (Implementation)

Explore the implementation of queue data structures in Java using arrays. Understand how to create essential queue methods like enqueue, dequeue, isEmpty, isFull, and top. This lesson helps you build a queue class, manage data members, and ensures correct operation of queue elements for coding interviews.

Implementation of Queues

Queues are implemented in many ways. They can be represented by using an array, a linked list, or even a stack. That being said, an array is most commonly used because it’s the easiest way to implement Queues. A typical Queue must contain the following standard methods:

  • enqueue (datatype V)
