The following article provides an outline for Circular queue Java. A circular queue is a linear data structure and the operations are performed in a FIFO (First In First Out) manner just like the simple Queue. In the Circular queue, the last position is connected to the first position making a circle. It is also called the Ring Buffer. In the simple Queue structure, if the rear reaches the end of the queue, i.e. the queue becomes full, there are chances that the spaces at the beginning elements are empty which can’t be utilized. This limitation of the queue is resolved by the CIrcular queue. In this topic, we are going to learn about Circular queue Java.

How to create a Circular queue in Java along with its working?

Let us understand the creation and working of Circular queue in detail:

Basic operations that are performed on the CIrcular Queue are given below:

Front: It is used to point to the first element of the queue.

Rear: It is used to point to the last element of the queue.

Enqueue(value): It is a function that is used to insert the element on the queue. Elements in the Queue are inserted at the rear position.

Dequeue(): This function is used to delete the element of the Queue. As the basic nature of the Queue, deletion of elements takes place from the front of the Queue.

Below given are the steps followed while creating, inserting, or deleting the elements in the Circular Queue:

Initially, the value of the Front and Rear is set to -1.

If we insert the first element in the Queue, both the Front and Rear are set to 0.

On inserting the new element in the queue, the rear becomes rear + 1.

The new element is added at the position of the rear.

The rear is incremented in a circular way, i.e. if it reaches the end and the queue becomes full, it points to the start of the queue.

First, it is checked whether the queue is empty or not. Mean of the front== rear== -1, means the queue is empty, deletion cannot be performed.

If the queue has only 1 element, i.e. front == rear, then delete the element and set front == rear == -1.

If there are elements in the queue, the value pointed out by front is deleted and the circularly increases the front index by 1.

Below given is the example showing the implementation of Circular Queue in the Java program:

Displaying elements of the Queue along with the position of front and rear.

//creating the constructor of the above class

// Implementing the 2 scenarios to check if the queue is full or not

System.out.println("Sorry !! Queue is full.. No more elements could be inserted in it");

// incrementing the rear position in circular manner using modulo operator

System.out.println("Element " + value + " is inserted successfully");

System.out.println("Sorry !!The Queue is empty.. ");

// if there is only one element in the queue

// Incrementing the front in a circular manner

// Displaying the elements of the Circular queue

System.out.println("Sorry!! The Queue is Empty");
