Declaring Queue Variables

The following is the syntax for declaring an Queue variable.

Syntax


val queue = Queue(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Here, queue is declared as an Queue of numbers. Value can be added at front by using commands like the following −

Command


queue.enqueue(6)

Value can be retrived at front by using commands like the following −

Command


queue.dequeue()

Processing Queue

Below is an example program of showing how to create, initialize and process Queue −

Example


import scala.collection.mutable.Queue
object Demo {
   def main(args: Array[String]) = {
      var queue = Queue(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
      // Print queue elements
      queue.foreach{(element:Int) => print(element + " ")}
      println();
      // Print first element
      println("First Element: " + queue.front)
      // Add an element
      queue.enqueue(6);
      // Print queue elements
      queue.foreach{(element:Int) => print(element+ " ")}
      println();
      // Remove an element
      var dq = queue.dequeue;
      // Print dequeued element
      println("Dequeued Element: " + dq)
      // Print queue elements
      queue.foreach{(element:Int) => print(element+ " ")}
   }
}

Save the above program in Demo.scala. The following commands are used to compile and execute this program.

Command


>scalac Demo.scala
>scala Demo

Output


1 2 3 4 5
First Element: 1
1 2 3 4 5 6
Dequeued Element: 1
2 3 4 5 6
