Simple queue is a linear queue having front & rear var to insert & delete elements from the list.But there is a boundary that we have to insert at rear & have delete from front.For this reason instead of having space in the queue if there is a single element in the rear,the queue is full.the other space is wasted.
To utilize space properly,circular queue is derived.In this queue the elements are inserted in circular manner.So that no space is wasted at all.
What is the difference between linear and circular queue? In: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/FAQ/2545-37 [Edit categories]The Queue by Default is Linear, it would be termed as Circular if the Last Element of the Queue pointsto the first element of the List
It doesn't.
The queue is a linear data structure where operations of insertion and deletion are performed at separate ends also known as front and rear. Queue is a FIFO structure that is first in first out. A circular queue is similar to the normal queue with the difference that queue is circular queue ; that is pointer rear can point to beginning of the queue when it reaches at the end of the queue. Advantage of this type of queue is that empty location let due to deletion of elements using front pointer can again be filled using rear pointer.
Ready queue contain all the jobs that are ready to execute.so the job queue and the ready queue are one and the same.
A queue is simply a FIFO i.e first in first out. In queue we've front and rear. Front is the initial or first location of the queue whereas rear indicates the last entry location in the queue. In the circular queue the location of front and rear will be the same IF the total space of the circular queue is utilized. Each element has its position no. for insertion , if we set the 5th element as the front element then after every insertion the ptr indicates the 5th element as front. in deletion, the fifth element is deleted every time it is the rear position. after deletion of an element the queue rotates and every time the rear indicates the 5th element of the circular queue. and every time the 5th location element is deleted.
In circular queue the memory of the deleted process can be used by some other new process..
A circular queue is similar to the normal queue with the difference that queue is circular queue ; that is pointer rear can point to beginning of the queue when it reaches at the end of the queue. A priority queue is a queue in which each element is inserted or deleted on the basis of their priority. A higher priority element is added first before any lower priority element. If in case priority of two element is same then they are added to the queue on FCFS basis (first come first serve).

A queue can use a dynamic array, or a linked list, but if using static memory, the queue becomes a circular queue because the underlaying data structure is a static circular array. This means the ends of the array are attached.
It doesn't.
A circular queue is similar to the normal queue with the difference that queue is circular queue ; that is pointer rear can point to beginning of the queue when it reaches at the end of the queue. Advantage of this type of queue is that empty location let due to deletion of elements using front pointer can again be filled using rear pointer. There are 2 conditions for queue full if queue is implemented using arrays. First condition is Front = 1 and Rear = N Second condition is Front = Rear + 1
The queue is a linear data structure where operations of insertion and deletion are performed at separate ends also known as front and rear. Queue is a FIFO structure that is first in first out. A circular queue is similar to the normal queue with the difference that queue is circular queue ; that is pointer rear can point to beginning of the queue when it reaches at the end of the queue. Advantage of this type of queue is that empty location let due to deletion of elements using front pointer can again be filled using rear pointer. A double ended queue (or deque ) is a queue where insertion and deletion can be performed at both end that is front pointer can be used for insertion (apart from its usual operation i.e. deletion) and rear pointer can be used for deletion (apart from its usual operation i.e. insertion)

circular queue
The queue is a linear data structure where operations of insertion and deletion are performed at separate ends also known as front and rear. Queue is a FIFO structure that is first in first out. A circular queue is similar to the normal queue with the difference that queue is circular queue ; that is pointer rear can point to beginning of the queue when it reaches at the end of the queue. Advantage of this type of queue is that empty location let due to deletion of elements using front pointer can again be filled using rear pointer.
A circular queue uses the same conventions as that of linear queue. Using Front will always point one position counterclockwise from the first element in the queue.
Ready queue contain all the jobs that are ready to execute.so the job queue and the ready queue are one and the same.
