πŸ“š Quick Study Guide

  • βž• offer(): Adds an element to the rear of the queue. Returns `true` if the element was added, `false` otherwise (e.g., in a bounded queue).
  • πŸ—‘οΈ poll(): Retrieves and removes the head of the queue. Returns `null` if the queue is empty.
  • peek() peek(): Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of the queue. Returns `null` if the queue is empty.
  • 🚦 isEmpty(): Checks if the queue is empty. Returns `true` if the queue contains no elements, `false` otherwise.
  • ⏳ Queues follow the FIFO (First-In-First-Out) principle. The first element added is the first one to be removed.
  • βš–οΈ Common implementations include `LinkedList` and `PriorityQueue`.
