# Queue using Linked List

### Queue Node Structure :

```c
struct Node {
    int data;
    struct Node *next;
};

struct Node *front = NULL;
struct Node *rear = NULL;
```

### Enqueue Operation :

```c
void enqueue(int data) {

    // Creating a new queue node
    struct Node *newNode;
    newNode = (struct Node *)malloc(sizeof(struct Node));
    newNode -> data = data;

    // If this node is the first node to be inserted
    if (front == NULL) {
        front = rear = newNode;
    }

    // If other nodes are already present
    else {
        rear -> next = newNode;
        rear = newNode;
    }
    
}
```

### Dequeue Operation :

```c
int dequeue() {

    // If queue is already empty
    if (front == NULL) {
        printf("Queue underflow\n");
        return -1;
    }

    else {
        // Pointers for node & data to be deleted
        struct Node *toDelete = front;
        int deletedData = front -> data;

        front = front -> next;
        free(toDelete);
        return deletedData;
    }
    
}
```

### Display Operation :

```c
void display() {

    // If queue is empty
    if (front == NULL) {
        printf("Queue is empty\n");
        return;
    }

    struct Node *ptr = front;
    while (ptr != NULL) {
        printf("%d\t", ptr -> data);
        ptr = ptr -> next;
    }
    printf("\n");
    
}
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://nitinranganath.gitbook.io/data-structures/queue/queue-using-linked-list.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
