how to sort queues with linked list in c code example
Example: queue with linked list in c
/*
* Program : Queue using linked list
* Language : C

struct node

if(front == NULL && rear == NULL)
//make both front and rear points to the new node

else
{
//add newnode in rear->next
rear->next = newNode;
//make the new node as the rear node
rear = newNode;
}
}
void dequeue()
{
//used to free the first node after dequeue

//logically removing the front element
