Circular Queue Implementation Guide

This document describes the implementation of a circular queue using an array in C programming language. It defines a circular queue as a linear data structure that follows the FIFO principle but connects the front and rear positions to save memory. The program includes functions to enqueue, dequeue and display elements in the circular queue. It uses a struct to define the queue with front and rear pointers and an array to store elements.

Title :- Implementation of Circular Queue Using Array

Theory:-
Circular Queue is a linear data structure , which follows the principle of the
FIFO(First In First Out) principle , but instead of ending the queue at the last
position, it starts again from the first position after the last, hence making the
queue behave like a circular data structure.

Circular Queue overcomes the drawback of the Linear Queue which is it saves us a
lot of memory, as in Linear Queue once an element is deleted , we cannot reused
the position again in the array.

Applications:-

1] Traffic Signal System

2] CPU scheduling

3] Memory management

Algorithm:-

1] For inserting an element in the circular queue:-


Step 1 :- Check if count == max ,

If yes , print out “Queue is Full”

Step 2 :- If statement == false

then else

ask the user for the element to be inserted == n

Step 3:- q.rear = (q.rear+1)%MAX

Step 4:- Assign the element to the q.rear

q.rear = n

Step 5:- count gets incremented by 1

Step 6 :- EXIT

2] For deleting an element in a circular queue :-

Step 1 :- Check if count == 0 ,

If yes , print out “Queue is Empty”

Step 2 :- If statement == false

then else

Step 3:- q.front = (q.front+1)%MAX

Step 4:- Delete the element in the circular queue q.x[q.front]

Step 5:- count gets decremented by 1

Step 6 :- EXIT

C Program :-
#include<stdio.h>

#include<stdlib.h>

#define MAX 5

struct cqueue

int front,rear;

int x[MAX];

}q;

void enqueue();

void dequeue();

void display();

int n, count=0;

int main()

int i,k;

printf("\n 1.Enqueue \n 2.Dequeue \n 3.Display \n 4.Exit");

q.front=-1; q.rear=-1; // Empty Circular Queue condition

while(1) {

printf("\n\t Enter your choice:");

scanf("%d",&k);

switch(k)

case 1:
enqueue();

break;

case 2:

dequeue();

break;

case 3:

display();

break;

case 4: exit(0);

default: printf("\n\t Wrong Choice! Please enter a valid choice..");

return 0;

void enqueue() {

if(count==MAX)

printf("\n\t Queue is Full.");

else {

printf("\n\t Enter an element to be inserted:");

scanf("%d",&n);

q.rear=(q.rear+1)%MAX;

q.x[q.rear]=n;

count++;
}

void dequeue()

if(count==0)

printf("\n\t Queue is Empty");

else

q.front=(q.front+1)%MAX;

printf("\n\t Element deleted is=%d",q.x[q.front]);

count--;

void display()

int i;

if(count==0)

printf("\n\t Queue is Empty.");

else if(q.rear>q.front)

for(i=(q.front+1);i<=q.rear;i++)

printf("\n Queue contains:%d",q.x[i]);


}

else

for(i=(q.front+1);i<=(MAX-1);i++) {

printf("\n Queue contains:%d",q.x[i]);

for(i=0;i<=q.rear;i++)

printf("\n Queue contains:%d",q.x[i]);

OUTPUT:-

1] ENQUEUE OPERATION

2] DEQUEUE OPERATION
