C++ || Snippet – Doubly Linked List Custom Template Queue Sample Code

This page will consist of sample code for a custom doubly linked list template queue. This implementation is considered a doubly linked list because it uses two nodes to store data in the queue – a ‘front’ and a ‘rear’ node. This is not a circular linked list, nor does it link forwards and/or backwards.

This template class is a custom duplication of the Standard Template Library (STL) queue class. Whether you like building your own data structures, you simply do not like to use any inbuilt functions, opting to build everything yourself, or your homework requires you make your own data structure, this sample code is really useful. I feel its beneficial building functions such as this, that way you better understand the behind the scene processes.
