Work Step by Step

Here's a pseudocode representation of an abstract data type representing a queue in a syntax similar to Java: ```java class Queue { // Define necessary data members List queueList; // Constructor to initialize the queue Queue() { queueList = new List(); } // Method to insert an entry into the queue void enqueue(ElementType item) { queueList.addLast(item); } // Method to delete an entry from the queue ElementType dequeue() { if (!isEmpty()) { return queueList.removeFirst(); } else { // Handle empty queue case return null; } } // Method to check if the queue is empty boolean isEmpty() { return queueList.isEmpty(); } } ``` And here's how you could create instances of the queue and perform operations: ```java // Create a queue instance Queue myQueue = new Queue(); // Insert entries into the queue myQueue.enqueue(element1); myQueue.enqueue(element2); // Delete an entry from the queue ElementType removedItem = myQueue.dequeue(); // Check if the queue is empty boolean isEmpty = myQueue.isEmpty(); ``` Note: ElementType represents the type of elements you want to store in the queue, and List is a placeholder for the actual data structure used to implement the queue.
