Let us recall that, for a list l, |l| denotes its length, that NIL represents an empty list and CONS(h, t) represents the list whose head is h and whose tail is t. The functions drop(i, l) and take(i, l) return the list l without its first i elements, and the first i elements of l, respectively. Or, if |l| < i, they return the empty list and l ...
The operation of adding an element to the rear of the queue is known as enqueue, and the operation of removing an element from the front is known as dequeue. Other operations may also be allowed, often including a peek or front operation that returns the value of the next element to be dequeued without dequeuing it.
is_empty: check whether the queue has no elements. insert_with_priority: add an element to the queue with an associated priority. pull_highest_priority_element: remove the element from the queue that has the highest priority, and return it. This is also known as "pop_element(Off)", "get_maximum_element" or "get_front(most)_element".
In computer science, peek is an operation on certain abstract data types, specifically sequential collections such as stacks and queues, which returns the value of the top ("front") of the collection without removing the element from the collection. It thus returns the same value as operations such as "pop" or "dequeue", but does not modify the ...
But {{{1|}}} will evaluate to the empty string (a false value) because the vertical bar or pipe character, "|", immediately following the parameter name specifies a default value (here an empty string because there is nothing between the pipe and the first closing curly brace) as a "fallback" value to be used if the parameter is undefined.
In computer science, the word dequeue can be used as: A verb meaning "to remove from a queue" An abbreviation for double-ended queue (more commonly, deque

No shifting is required like with vectors. Lists do not have random-access ability like vectors ( O ( 1 ) {\displaystyle O(1)} operation). Accessing a node in a list is an O ( n ) {\displaystyle O(n)} operation that requires a list traversal to find the node that needs to be accessed.
