Introduction

Have you ever found yourself needing to manage strings and numbers simultaneously in a coding project? Perhaps you’re trying to implement a dequeue system in Java that not only holds strings but also assigns unique numbers (or IDs) to them. This can seem like a daunting task, especially for beginners. In this post, we'll explore how you can successfully implement such a system using Java's LinkedList and custom classes.

Understanding the Problem

The core of your problem involves two main tasks:

Assigning Numbers to Strings: You need to associate a unique number with each string to ensure easy identification and management.

Implementing a Dequeue System: You want to incorporate these numbered strings into a dequeue system, allowing you to easily retrieve strings while keeping track of their associated numbers.

The challenge is to prioritize string management while ensuring each string can quickly be referenced by its corresponding number.

Solution Overview

To tackle this issue, we can create a custom class that holds both the string and its assigned number. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how to implement this solution in Java.

Step 1: Create a Custom Class

First, we need to define a new class named LineElement that will store both the string (in this case, names) and an integer ID.

This class has two fields: names, which holds the string, and id, which holds the unique identifier. It includes a constructor for initializing these fields and getter methods for accessing them later.

Step 2: Initialize the Queue

Next, we need to modify the way we initialize our queue. Instead of a queue of strings, we'll initialize it as a queue of LineElement objects.

Code Explanation

Queue Initialization: The crewLine queue is now a LinkedList of LineElement objects, allowing us to store both IDs and names.

Adding Elements: We add a few LineElement objects to the queue, each initialized with a unique ID and a name string.

Polling Elements: When you poll the queue, you retrieve the first customer that arrived while maintaining access to their ID. The output provides clarity by displaying both the string and its associated ID.

Conclusion

By utilizing a custom class to manage both strings and their identifiers, you can effectively create a dequeue system that is both organized and easy to manage. This approach not only solves the original problem but also enhances the functionality of your code, allowing for easier debugging and future expansions.
