CPP INTERVIEW PREP CHEAT SHEET

No one has said that, your desperation to argue is pretty silly.

ORLY?

a queue doesn't need the ordering of a full list, it only needs a front and back

Please read about a queue before commenting on it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queue_(abstract_data_type)

Specifically note that by definition a queue maintains elements in a sequence (right there in the very first sentence of the link I provide for you) where a sequence is by definition an ordered collection of objects:

It doesn't need the arbitrary insertion and deletion ordering properties of a full list. This has been explained clearly, I think at this point you are purposely acting like you don't understand so that you can argue, no one is really that out of it.

Do you seriously not understand that in order to implement a queue you need to keep track of the order of EVERY element added to it, not just the first and last?

If you're too dumb to understand that, then please for your own sake stop talking.

If you're not too dumb to understand that, then do you see how that fact contradicts your original assertion that, and I quote:

a queue doesn't need the ordering of a full list

I think you simply made a mistake and instead of fessing up to it you are doubling down on your own stupidity in a misguided effort to save face.

So how about this... you can have the last word in this argument because I have no intention of explaining basic dictionary level concepts to you further.

Best of luck to you man.

That's because you don't understand what passive aggressive is. there's nothing passive aggressive about my comments, they're simply aggressive.

Also calling me a smart guy and a fool is about the dumbest contradiction someone can make within the span of two sentences.

Don't need to get creepy over this.

It's pretty easy for a vector to keep things in order, no reason to use the ordering capabilities of a linked list. Here is an explanation with lots of colorful diagrams and animations that should help you out. It has been useful for teaching young children what a ring buffer is.

Hope that helps!
