Queue is a first-in first-out (FIFO) data structure where elements can only be added to the rear of the queue and removed from the front of the queue. It has two pointers - a front pointer pointing to the front element and a rear pointer pointing to the rear element. Queues can be implemented using arrays or linked lists. Common queue operations include initialization, checking if empty/full, enqueue to add an element, and dequeue to remove an element. The document then describes how these operations work for queues implemented using arrays, linked lists, and circular arrays. It concludes by providing exercises to implement specific queue tasks.
