[Solved] Can you give an example where the Queue data structure can be specially helpful [closed]


Queues are most commonly used for scheduling and request handling applications.

For example, anything where you have one process creating requests and another process handling the requests you would use a queue to hold the requests.

Normally a queue is in FIFO order – requests are processed in the order they are received, but they can also be ordered in other ways (a priority queue for example).

A few examples:

  1. An operating system scheduling threads for execution on a CPU would use a queue to determine which thread is next to execute.

  2. A web server handling HTTP requests would use a queue to pass requests on to threads that will actually server up the web pages.

  3. A printer handling requests for print jobs.
