Aim: To implement queue ADT using link list.
Theory: A queue is a linear data structure that follows the First in, First out principle (FIFO).
Queue supports operations like enqueue and dequeue. It can be implemented using an array
and linked list. The benefit of implementing a queue using a linked list over arrays is that it
allows to grow the queue as per the requirements, i.e., memory can be allocated dynamically.
In a linked queue, each node of the queue consists of two parts i.e. data part and the link part.
Each element of the queue points to its immediate next element in the memory.
In the linked queue, there are two pointers maintained in the memory i.e. front pointer and
rear pointer. The front pointer contains the address of the starting element of the queue while
the rear pointer contains the address of the last element of the queue.

Insertion and deletions are performed at rear and front end respectively. If front and rear both
are NULL, it indicates that the queue is empty.

The linked representation of queue is shown in the following figure.

There are two basic operations which can be implemented on the linked queues. The
operations are Insertion and Deletion.

Insert operation:

The insert operation append the queue by adding an element to the end of the queue. The new
element will be the last element of the queue.

Algorithm:
o Step 1: Allocate the space for the new node PTR
o Step 2: SET PTR -> DATA = VAL
o Step 3: IF FRONT = NULL
SET FRONT = REAR = PTR
SET FRONT -> NEXT = REAR -> NEXT = NULL
ELSE
SET REAR -> NEXT = PTR
SET REAR = PTR
SET REAR -> NEXT = NULL
[END OF IF]
o Step 4: END

Deletion

Deletion operation removes the element that is first inserted among all the queue elements.

Algorithm:

o Step 1: IF FRONT = NULL


Write " Underflow "
Go to Step 5
[END OF IF]
o Step 2: SET PTR = FRONT
o Step 3: SET FRONT = FRONT -> NEXT
o Step 4: FREE PTR
o Step 5: END

PROGRAM:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
struct node
{
int data;
struct node *next;
};
struct node *front;
struct node *rear;
void enqueue();
void dequeue();
void display();
void main ()
{
int choice;
while(choice != 4)
{
printf("\n*************************Main
Menu*****************************\n");
printf("\n============================================================
=====\n");
printf("\n1.insert an element\n2.Delete an element\n3.Display the queue\n4.Exit\n");
printf("\nEnter your choice ?");
scanf("%d",& choice);
switch(choice)
{
case 1:
enqueue();
break;
case 2:
dequeue();
break;
case 3:
display();
break;
case 4:
exit(0);
break;
default:
printf("\nEnter valid choice??\n");
}
}
}
void enqueue()
{
struct node *ptr;
int item;

ptr = (struct node *) malloc (sizeof(struct node));


if(ptr == NULL)
{
printf("\nOVERFLOW\n");
return;
}
else
{
printf("\nEnter value?\n");
scanf("%d",&item);
ptr -> data = item;
if(front == NULL)
{
front = ptr;
rear = ptr;
front -> next = NULL;
rear -> next = NULL;
}
else
{
rear -> next = ptr;
rear = ptr;
rear->next = NULL;
}
}
}
void dequeue ()
{
struct node *ptr;
if(front == NULL)
{
printf("\nUNDERFLOW\n");
return;
}
else
{
ptr = front;
front = front -> next;
free(ptr);
}
}
void display()
{
struct node *ptr;
ptr = front;
if(front == NULL)
{
printf("\nEmpty queue\n");
}
else
{ printf("\nprinting values .....\n");
while(ptr != NULL)
{
printf("\n%d\n",ptr -> data);
ptr = ptr -> next;
}
}
}
