public class QueueArray<ELTTYPE>
extends AbstractQueue<ELTTYPE>
implements Queue<ELTTYPE>

An implementation of queues based on arrays. The head of the queue starts out at the head of the array, allowing the queue to grow and shrink in constant time. This queue implementation is ideal for applications that require a queue with a known maximum size that expands in constant time.

Example usage:

To compute the sum of the unicode value of every character in the standard input we could use the following:

 public static void main(String[] arguments)
 {
     int charsInInput = QueueExample.countChars(argument);
     QueueArray q = new QueueArray(charsInInput);
     int unicodeSum = 0;

     if(arguments.length > 0){
         for(int i=0; i < arguments.length; i++){
               for(int j=0; j < arguments[i].length(); j++){
                   q.enqueue(new Character(arguments[i].charAt(j)));
               }
           }
     }

     while(!q.AbstractLinear.empty()){
          char c = ((Character)q.AbstractQueue.dequeue()).charValue();
          unicodeSum+=Character.getNumericValue(c);
     }

     System.out.println("Total Value: " + unicodeSum);
 }
