  * 1. First In, First Out (FIFO): The core feature of a queue is its first in, first out nature. The element added to the queue first will be the one to be removed first.
  * 2. Operations: The main operations include enqueue (adding an element to the end of the queue) and dequeue (removing and returning the element at the front of the queue). Typically, there is also a peek operation (looking at the front element without removing it).
  * 3. Uses: Queues are commonly used to manage a series of tasks or elements that need to be processed in order. For example, managing task queues in a multi-threaded environment, or in algorithms for data structures like trees and graphs for breadth-first search.

- * 3. Memory Usage: Since each element requires additional space to store a pointer to the next element, linked lists may use more memory compared to arrays.
- * 4. Frequent Enqueuing and Dequeuing Operations: If your application involves frequent enqueuing and dequeuing operations and is less concerned with random access, then LinkedListQueue is a good choice.
