Using SplQueue class from SPL
If we do not want any hard time implementing queue functionalities, and are happy with a built-in solution, we can use the SplQueue
class for any of our basic queue needs. We have to remember one thing: that there is no peek function available in the SplQueue
class. We have to use the bottom()
function to get the first element of the queue. Here is the simple queue implementation for our AgentQueue
using SplQueue
:
$agents = new SplQueue(); $agents->enqueue("Fred"); $agents->enqueue("John"); $agents->enqueue("Keith"); $agents->enqueue("Adiyan"); $agents->enqueue("Mikhael"); echo $agents->dequeue()."\n"; echo $agents->dequeue()."\n"; echo $agents->bottom()."\n";
