Generic Queue and Non-generic Queue « Queue « Collections

Queue<T> and Queue are first-in first-out (FIFO) data structures, providing methods to Enqueue (add an item to the tail of the queue) and Dequeue (retrieve and remove the item at the head of the queue). A Peek method is also provided to return the element at the head of the queue without removing it, and a Count property.

 
public class Queue<T> : IEnumerable<T>, ICollection, IEnumerable
{
    public Queue();
    public Queue (IEnumerable<T> collection); // Copies existing elements 
    public Queue (int capacity);  // To lessen auto-resizing 
    public void Clear();
    public bool Contains (T item);
    public void CopyTo (T[] array, int arrayIndex);
    public int Count { get; }
    public T Dequeue();
    public void Enqueue (T item);
    public Enumerator<T> GetEnumerator(); // To support foreach 
    public T Peek();
    public T[] ToArray();
    public void TrimExcess();
}
