## Data Structure Name: Queue - #### Description: - An array where the first-element in is the first element out to be processed (i.e., First-in First-out (FIFO)) - #### Variations: - #### Diagram: - #### General Use: ## Key Considerations - #### Properties: - Insert - also called enqueue - the new element is always added to the end of the queue - Delete - also called dequeue - only allowed to remove the first element - #### Implementation Details: - Implement in Python using collections.deque: - Provides an O(1) time complexity for append and pop operations as compared to a list that provides O(n) time complexity ![[PythonQueueComplexity.png]] - #### General Tips - #### Special Properties ## Specific Use Cases - TBD
