new elements are added at one end (called the back, rear, or last)
elements are to be deleted from the other end (called the head, front or first)
a queue is First-In-First-Out data structure (FIFO) or Last-In-Last-Out (LILO) concept
QUEUE BASIC OPERATIONS
isEmpty: checks whether the queue is empty
isFull: checks whether the queue is full
front: returns the 1st element of the queue
back: returns the last element of the queue
enqueue: adds a new element to the back of the queue
dequeue: removes the 1st element of the queue
PRIORITY QUEUES
priority queues is where nodes are added to the queue based on the priority
update the class Node to include a new memeber to determine the priority of the node
define a new class PriorityQueue copy of the existing class Queue
update the functions of the class PriorityQueue to take into account the new member priority
update only print, front, back, enqueue, and the copy constructor
all other functions remain similar to the functions of the class Queue
