If there are no items in the list, we will run into a “list index out of range” error. We cannot rely on methods that we call on the data structure, and indexing does not account for empty lists. However, this comes with the same problem we have with the Python implementation of the stack. The minus sign indicates to Python to start counting items backward from the end of the queue. For the last item in the queue, we can use the -1 index. The first element in the queue has an index of 0. To obtain the first element and the last element in the queue, the most straightforward way is to use indices. #Printing the queue after removing the first element Therefore, we have to pass 0 to the pop function telling Python to remove the element at the zeroth index. Since a queue follows the first-in, first-out principle, we need to remove the first element. Pop by default removes the last element from the list. Items can be dequeue with the pop method.
To add items to the end of the queue we append them to the list. For enqueue you can use the append method. You can dequeue items from a list using the pop method. The simplest way to implement a Python queue is through a list.

In this post, we learn how to implement a queue in Python using Python’s list data structure, the collections module, and a custom wrapper class What is a Queue in Python?Ī queue is a data structure that is based on the first-in, first-out principle when adding and removing items.
