From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
In providing services to people, and in computer science, transportation, and operations research a queue is a First-In-First-Out FIFO process- the first element in the queue will be the first one out.
For queueing people, see queue area.
In computer science, compare:
- Array
- Data structure
- Deque
- Priority queue
- Linked list
- Stack (the "opposite" of a queue- first in, last out)
