Prerequisite: Queue in Python
Here given a queue and our task is to dump the queue into list or array. We are to see two methods to achieve the objective of our solution.
Example 1:
In this example, we will create a queue using the collection package and then cast it into the list
Python3
# Python program to # demonstrate queue implementation # using collections.dequeue from collections import deque # Initializing a queue q = deque() # Adding elements to a queue q.append('a') q.append('b') q.append('c') # display the queue print("Initial queue") print(q,"\n") # display the type print(type(q)) |
Output:
Initial queue deque(['a', 'b', 'c']) <class 'collections.deque'>
Let’s create a list and cast into it:
Python3
# convert into list li = list(q) # display print("Convert into the list") print(li) print(type(li)) |
Output:
Convert into the list ['a', 'b', 'c'] <class 'list'>
Example 2:
In this example, we will create a queue using the queue module and then cast it into the list.
Python3
from queue import Queue # Initializing a queue que = Queue() # Adding elements to a queue que.put(1) que.put(2) que.put(3) que.put(4) que.put(5) # display the queue print("Initial queue") print(que.queue) # casting into the list li = list(que.queue) print("\nConverted into the list") print(li) |
Output:
Initial queue deque([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) Converted into the list [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
