Explanation
We start by including the necessary headers,
iostream
andqueue
, which are needed for input/output and the queue data structure respectively.We define a class called
Printer
which will represent our printer object. Inside this class, we declare two member functions:pushJob
andprintJob
.The
pushJob
function takes an integer parameterjobNumber
and adds it to the end of the printer job queue using thepush
function of thestd::queue
data structure. We then print a message indicating that the job has been added to the printer queue.The
printJob
function first checks if the printer queue is empty using theempty
function of thestd::queue
data structure. If the queue is empty, we print a message indicating that there are no jobs in the printer queue.If the queue is not empty, we retrieve the job number at the front of the queue using the
front
function of thestd::queue
data structure. We then remove the job from the front of the queue using thepop
function of thestd::queue
data structure. Finally, we print a message indicating that the job is being printed.In the
main
function, we create an instance of thePrinter
class calledprinter
.We then use the
pushJob
function of theprinter
object to add three jobs to the printer queue, with job numbers 1, 2, and 3.We then use the
printJob
function of theprinter
object four times. The first three calls toprintJob
will print the job numbers 1, 2, and 3 respectively, as they were added to the printer queue. The fourth call toprintJob
will print a message indicating that there are no jobs in the printer queue, as all the jobs have been printed and the queue is now empty.Finally, we return 0 to indicate successful execution of the program.
