In the queue, the element which is added at least recently is removed first from it. For example, a queue of consumers for a resource or service where the consumer who comes first will be served first.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prepbytes-misc-images.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/assets\/1656063394897-Image-01%20%281%29.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Given below are the operations of the queue:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Enqueue:<\/strong> This function is used to add an element to the rear end of the queue. If the queue is completely filled, then it will be in an overflow condition. The time complexity of the enqueue is O(1).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dequeue:<\/strong> This function is used to remove an element from the front end of the queue. If the queue is empty, then it will be in an underflow condition. The time complexity of the dequeue is O(1).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Front:<\/strong> This function returns the front element of the queue. The time complexity of this function is O(1).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rear:<\/strong> This function returns the last element of the queue. The time complexity of this function is O(1).<\/p>\n<h3>Implementation of Queue in Python<\/h3>\n<p>There are many ways to implement a queue in python. Given below are the different ways to implement a queue in python:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>list<\/li>\n<li>collections.deque<\/li>\n<li>queue.Queue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Implementation using list<\/h3>\n<p>The list is a built-in data structure in python that can be used as a queue. In place of enqueue() and dequeue(), there are append() and pop() functions. However, using the list in the implementation is a quite slow process, as inserting or deleting an item from the beginning requires shifting all of the other elements by one which is having O(N) time complexity.<\/p>\n<h4>Code Implementation<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#tab_container_8675 {\r\n\toverflow:hidden;\r\n\tdisplay:block;\r\n\twidth:100%;\r\n\tborder:0px solid #ddd;\r\n\tmargin-bottom:30px;\r\n\t}\r\n\r\n#tab_container_8675 .tab-content{\r\n\tpadding:20px;\r\n\tborder: 1px solid #e6e6e6 !important;\r\n\tmargin-top: 0px;\r\n\tbackground-color:#ffffff !important;\r\n\tcolor: #000000 !important;\r\n\tfont-size:16px !important;\r\n\tfont-family: Open Sans !important;\r\n\t\r\n\t\tborder: 1px solid #e6e6e6 !important;\r\n\t}\r\n#tab_container_8675 .wpsm_nav-tabs {\r\n    border-bottom: 0px solid #ddd;\r\n}\r\n#tab_container_8675 .wpsm_nav-tabs > li.active > a, #tab_container_8675 .wpsm_nav-tabs > li.active > a:hover, #tab_container_8675 .wpsm_nav-tabs > li.active > a:focus {\r\n\tcolor: #000000 !important;\r\n\tcursor: default;\r\n\tbackground-color: #ffffff !important;\r\n\tborder: 1px solid #e6e6e6 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n#tab_container_8675 .wpsm_nav-tabs > li > a {\r\n    margin-right: 0px !important;

Syntax for implementing a queue in a variable is Queue(maxsize) where maxsize is the maximum number of elements that can be inserted in the queue. For making an infinite queue set the value of maxsize = 0. This queue always follows the FIFO principle. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Functions available in this module are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>maxsize<\/strong> &#8211; Number of elements allowed to insert in the queue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>empty()<\/strong> &#8211; Return True if the queue has no element present in it, else return False.<\/p>\n<p><strong>full()<\/strong> &#8211; Return True if the number of elements present in the queue is equal to the maxsize. If maxsize value is equal to 0 i.e. the queue will be an infinite queue and for this case full() function will never return True.<\/p>\n<p><strong>get()<\/strong> &#8211; Remove and return the element from the front of the queue. If the queue is empty, wait until an element is available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>get_nowait()<\/strong> &#8211; Return the element from the front end of the queue which is available, else it will raise QueueEmpty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>put(ele)<\/strong> &#8211; This function will put an element in the queue. If the queue is full, then it waits until a free slot is available before adding an element.<\/p>\n<p><strong>put_nowait(ele)<\/strong> &#8211; This function will put an element in the queue without blocking. If there is no empty slot in the queue, then it will raise QueueFull.<\/p>\n<p><strong>qsize()<\/strong> &#8211; This function will return the number of elements present in the queue.<\/p>\n<h4>Code Implementation<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#tab_container_8677 {\r\n\toverflow:hidden;\r\n\tdisplay:block;\r\n\twidth:100%;\r\n\tborder:0px solid #ddd;\r\n\tmargin-bottom:30px;\r\n\t}\r\n\r\n#tab_container_8677 .tab-content{\r\n\tpadding:20px;\r\n\tborder: 1px solid #e6e6e6 !important;\r\n\tmargin-top: 0px;\r\n\tbackground-color:#ffffff !important;\r\n\tcolor: #000000 !important;\r\n\tfont-size:16px !important;\r\n\tfont-family: Open Sans !important;\r\n\t\r\n\t\tborder: 1px solid #e6e6e6 !important;\r\n\t}\r\n#tab_container_8677 .wpsm_nav-tabs {\r\n    border-bottom: 0px solid #ddd;\r\n}\r\n#tab_container_8677 .wpsm_nav-tabs > li.active > a, #tab_container_8677 .wpsm_nav-tabs > li.active > a:hover, #tab_container_8677 .wpsm_nav-tabs > li.active > a:focus {\r\n\tcolor: #000000 !important;\r\n\tcursor: default;\r\n\tbackground-color: #ffffff !important;\r\n\tborder: 1px solid #e6e6e6 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n#tab_container_8677 .wpsm_nav-tabs > li > a {\r\n    margin-right: 0px !important;
