How to create and use a queue (FIFO) in Go using the container/package package?

To create and use a queue (FIFO) in Go using the container/package, follow these steps:

Step 1: Import necessary packages:

import ( "container/list" "fmt" )

Step 2: Create a new queue:

q := list.New()

Step 3: Insert elements into the queue:

q.PushBack("element1") q.PushBack("element2") q.PushBack("element3")

Step 4: Retrieve and remove the first element from the queue (FIFO):

firstElement := q.Front() q.Remove(firstElement) fmt.Println(firstElement.Value)

Step 5: Check if the queue is empty:

isEmpty := q.Len() == 0 fmt.Println(isEmpty)

Step 6: Iterate over the elements in the queue:

for e := q.Front(); e != nil; e = e.Next() { fmt.Println(e.Value) }

Here's a complete example:

import ( "container/list" "fmt" ) func main() { q := list.New() q.PushBack("element1") q.PushBack("element2") q.PushBack("element3") firstElement := q.Front() q.Remove(firstElement) fmt.Println(firstElement.Value) isEmpty := q.Len() == 0 fmt.Println(isEmpty) for e := q.Front(); e != nil; e = e.Next() { fmt.Println(e.Value) } }

This example demonstrates how to create a queue using the container/list package and perform basic operations like adding elements, retrieving and removing elements, checking if the queue is empty, and iterating over the elements in the queue.
