Introduction to Queue and FIFO Principle

  • Queue is an ordered linear list with different ends for insertion and deletion

Queue Operations and Implementation

  • ENQUEUE: Insert element at rear using append() method
  • DEQUEUE: Remove element from front using pop(0) method
  • ISEMPTY: Check if queue has elements using len() == 0
