JavaScript/Data Structures/Queue/Queue.js

/* Queue
* A Queue is a data structure that allows you to add an element to the end of
* a list and remove the item at the front. A queue follows a "First In First Out"
* system, where the first item to enter the queue is the first to be removed. This
* implementation uses an array to store the queue.
