Welcome! Today, we're exploring the concept of Queues in JavaScript, a fundamental data structure that processes elements in a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) order, akin to a line at a food truck. We aim to learn how to implement, analyze, and manipulate queues in JavaScript. Let's dive in!
Imagine you're in line for a roller coaster. The first person in line is always the first to ride. Queues in programming follow this principle, making the queue concept relatively easy to grasp and powerful to use.
Queues can be efficiently implemented in JavaScript using arrays thanks to built-in methods. Take a look at this simple Queue
class:
This Queue
class offers enqueue
and dequeue
operations to manage the queue's state.
The enqueue
operation adds to the queue's end. Here's how it works:
