Class QueueVector<E>

  structure5.AbstractStructure<E>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<E>, Linear<E>, Queue<E>, Structure<E>

public class QueueVector<E>
extends AbstractQueue<E>
implements Queue<E>

An implementation of queues based on vectors. The head of the queue is stored at the head of the list, allowing the queue to grow and shrink in constant time. This queue implementation is ideal for applications that require a dynamically resizable queue which occasionally takes a time proportional to the its length to expand.

Example usage:

To compute the sum of the unicode value of every character in the standard input we could use the following:

 public static void main(String[] arguments)
 {
     QueueVector q = new QueueVector();
     int unicodeSum = 0;

     if(arguments.length > 0){
         for(int i=0; i < arguments.length; i++){
               for(int j=0; j < arguments[i].length(); j++){
                   q.enqueue(new Character(arguments[i].charAt(j)));
               }
           }
     }

     while(!q.AbstractLinear.empty()){
          char c = ((Character)q.AbstractQueue.dequeue()).charValue();
          unicodeSum+=Character.getNumericValue(c);
     }

     System.out.println("Total Value: " + unicodeSum);
 }
