43 \class QQueue
44 \brief The QQueue class is a generic container that provides a queue.

51 QQueue\<T\> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}. It
52 implements a queue data structure for items of a same type.
53
54 A queue is a first in, first out (FIFO) structure. Items are
55 added to the tail of the queue using enqueue() and retrieved from
56 the head using dequeue(). The head() function provides access to
57 the head item without removing it.
58
59 Example:
60 \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qqueue.cpp 0
61
62 The example will output 1, 2, 3 in that order.
63
64 QQueue inherits from QList. All of QList's functionality also
65 applies to QQueue. For example, you can use isEmpty() to test
66 whether the queue is empty, and you can traverse a QQueue using
67 QList's iterator classes (for example, QListIterator). But in
68 addition, QQueue provides three convenience functions that make
69 it easy to implement FIFO semantics: enqueue(), dequeue(), and
70 head().
