Array based Queue c++ simple project

In this c++ tutorial we will discuss  about Array Based Queue C++ project which have 10 functions including main function. User will select an option from main menu function and the respective function will be called. The code is for array based queue implementation. It comprises of various operations that can be performed on array based queue. This code can be used as a project or self-assignment by beginners of data structure. It is recommended to understand the code thoroughly mainly the “logic” then try to create logic for each individual function by yourself. It will surely enhance your coding capability

What is a Queue?
  • List of items arranged on basis of first in and first out principal is called queue.
  • It has 2 ends.
  • Data can be considered as to pass through hollow cylinder.
  • Data enters from one end and leaves from another end.
  • Data only moves in one direction.


Characteristics Of Queue:


  • It works on the FIFO (first in first out) principal.
  • It is ordered list and has elements/data of same type.
  • It doesn’t allow duplication of data.
  •  Enqueue function is used to insert new item in queue.
  • Dequeue function is used to remove any item from queue.
  •  If you want to dequeue any random item from queue, you will have to first dequeuer all items above it. Then remove the item you want. Then enqueue dequeued items accordingly.

Real World Examples:


  1. People standing in a queue for submission of their bills in bank. The person who came first will submit bill first. The person who came later will submit bill later.
  2. Cars on one way road. The car that entered first will exists first while the car that entered later will exit later.


Array Based Queue in C++ Data Structures
It is a linear data structure in which insertion of data/element takes places from end (rear) and deletion of data/element takes place from front (head).It allows you to store a data in form of array.

Project Overview:

Below I am going to share with you a c++ source code that is compiled using dev c++ compiler. The code is for array based queue implementation. It comprises of various operations that can be performed on array based queue. This code can be used as a project or self-assignment by beginners of data structure. It is recommended to understand the code thoroughly mainly the “logic” then try to create logic for each individual function by yourself. It will surely enhance your coding capability.

Code:

#include<iostream>     //header files
#include<conio.h> //header files
#include<stdlib.h>      //header files
#include<stdio.h>     //header files
using namespace std;

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/*declaration of global variables*/
/* front will show first index of array, initiated with -1 that shows that nothing is present at first position in queue*/
int front=-1;   
/* rear will show first last index of array, initiated with -1 that shows that nothing is present at last position in queue*/
int rear=-1;
int index=0;          // index will represent that how long is queue
int *queue=new int[index];      // for dynamical creation of queue
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/*declaration of functions*/
The functions below are named in such a way that they will clearly reveal what they are meant for
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void createqueue();
void enqueue(int a);
int dequeue();
void deletequeue();
void clearqueue();
int isfull();
int isempty();
void find();
void display();
void menu();

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The function below is the first function that would be called when code is executed. It will display a menu having different functionalities. Just select the number corresponding to operation you want to perform and then you will be on your way to go 
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void menu()
{ 
     system("pause");     /*built in function supported by dev c++ to pause a screen until “enter” or any key is entered to proceed further.*/
     system("cls");   /*It will remove any garbage value that may appear on screen*/
     int option;
     cout<<"****welcome to queue application****\n";
     cout<<"press 1 to create queue\n";
     cout<<"press 2 to display queue\n";
     cout<<"press 3 to delete queue\n";
     cout<<"press 4 to clear queue\n";
     cout<<"press 5 to find number in queue\n";
     cout<<"press 6 to enqueue\n";
     cout<<"press 7 to dequeue\n";
     cout<<"press 8 to check if queue is full\n";
     cout<<"press 9 to check if queue is empty\n";
     cout<<"press 0 to exit\n";
     cout<<"enter option\n";
     cin>>option;
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Below I have used a switch to call various functions. If you are a beginner and don’t have any idea about “switch” you can go ahead with if-else statements but their drawback is they mess up everything, make confusions as code gets lengthy. 
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

     case 2:   // this case will call display function and will display queue items
          display();
          menu();
          break;

          deletequeue();
