C Program to Implement Queue Functions using Arrays and Macros

This is a C Program to Implement Queue Functions Using Arrays and Macros.

Problem Description

This program implements queue operations using arrays and macros.

Problem Solution

1. Use #define function to define the macros.
2. Define separate functions for the operations like insert, delete, display etc.
3. Use switch statement to access these functions.

Program Explanation

1. Ask the user for the operations like insert, delete, display etc.
2. According to the entered option access the respective functions. Use switch statement to access the functions.
3. Use #define function to define macros as mentioned in the program.
4. In the insert_rear() function, ask the user to enter the number to be inserted and store the value in the variable val and copy this value into the array queue[]. Use the variable rear and front to represent the last and first element of the queue.
5. In the delete_front() function, delete the first element of the array and increment the variable front.
6. In the display_queue() function, print all the elements of the array queue.
7. In the front_ele() function, check for the first element of the array queue[].
8. In the empty_queue() function, check if the array queue[] is empty or not.
9. In the queuesize() function, check the size of the array queue[].
10. In the destroy() function, delete all the elements from the array queue[].
