Hi
i've implemented a linear Queue using array.
But i've been struck up with a doubt!!!!!
Let me tell my problem with an example so that it can be clear.
Size of the Queue(array) is 5.
im initializing the front and rear to 0.
I continously add five elements to the Queue, so that now the rear points to the 4th position of the array and now the queue is full.
Now i delete all the five elements and now the Front and the Rear points at the 4th position of the array.
My problem starts here.
Now the Queue is empty. Whether i've to reset the position of rear and front to 0 or not?

If the Queue is empty, then it probably doesn't matter which element you are pointing at, as long as the algorithm is well implemented.
As a point of functionality, however, I think that the pointer should point to the first (0th) element of the array, as a delete operations should probably move to the next element....
That is, if you have three elements and delete 2, you would want to point to the remaining (third) element. Likewise if you have 5 elements and delete all 5, you want to point to the NEXT (6th) element, which in this case would be the first...
ok.
thank you for your help.

I wrote a simple, but proprietary queue class that efficiently
enqueues and dequeues arbitrary length byte arrays. I would like to
replace it with an STL container if the performance overhead is not
too high. Currently, I am thinking of replacing it like shown below,
but it is not efficient due to repeated function calls to "push". Can
anyone with more STL experience show a better way to use it, if there
is one?

Hello,
I have implemented a C# priority queue using an ArrayList. The objects
being inserted into the priority queue are being sorted by 2 fields, Time
(ulong) and Priority (0-100).
When I enqueue, I do a binary search on where to put the object and then
insert using that index and arraylist.insert(index, obj)
The bottom of my arraylist is always my lowest, therefore, dequeueing is
very fast and effecient.

I need a FIFO queue of size 20, to keep track of a running average.
Once the queue is full with 20 values, I want to take the sum/20 =
AVERAGE. Then when a new value comes in, I want:
(Old Sum - oldest value + newest value)/20 = New Average
Anybody know an efficient way to implement that? Is a queue even the
best way?
Thanks,

Hi. I have a Queue<T> that I need to serialize, but when I try, I get
the error:
"You must implement a default accessor on
System.Collections.Generic.Queue"
It is my understanding that the default accessor has the form,
"function (int index)". But, that doesn't make any sense for a queue.
The reason that I am using a queue is for FIFO access.
Anyway, is there any way that I can serialize my queue?

I only want to use array not linked list.
For example,

When calling Enqueue, the internal array may need to be reallocated. My
question is by how much? In the old MFC array classes, you could tell MFC
how many additional elements to add to the array when it needed to
reallocate, which greatly boosted performance relative to adding 1 element
at a time.
Thanks,
Mike Ober.

Thanks to those guys who helped me out yesterday. I have one more
problem; my print function for the queue program doesnt work and goes
into an endless loop. Also I am unable to calculate the length of my
queue. I started getting compilation errors when I included a length

Hi all,
I'm using the PICC CCS C compiler and am having issues with starting an enque/deque for my program. What I need it to do is to hold about 9 data packets, each packet is an array of 4 HEX integers. Each array is a different command for the program.
example of array commands:
int ph = {0x18, 0x2B, 0x00, 0x00};
int zt = {0x28, 0x35, 0x00, 0x00};
int zw = {0x28, 0x37, 0x00, 0x00};
int af = {0x28, 0x41, 0x00,...

Here are the codes
Queue<string> q = new Queue<string>;
Console.WriteLine(q.Count + "");
The program will crash since q is null.
So my question is that what is the best way for new to initialize the array
with generic queue as the value?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
