Queue (data structure)
In providing services in computer science, transport, and operations research a queue (pronounced 'Q') is a buffer abstract data structure where various entities such as data, objects, persons, or events are stored and waiting to be processed. The most well known operation of the queue is the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) queue process — In a FIFO queue, the first element in the queue will be the first one out; this is equivalent to the requirement that whenever an element is added, all elements that were added before have to be removed before the new element can be invoked.
