下面是一个队列的链表版本，它也包括最后一个节点，这是@perkins建议的，也是最合适的。

// QUEUE Object Definition

var Queue = function() {
  this.first = null;
  this.last = null;
  this.size = 0;
};

var Node = function(data) {
  this.data = data;
  this.next = null;
};

Queue.prototype.enqueue = function(data) {
  var node = new Node(data);

  if (!this.first){ // for empty list first and last are the same
    this.first = node;
    this.last = node;
  } else { // otherwise we stick it on the end
    this.last.next=node;
    this.last=node;
  }

  this.size += 1;
  return node;
};

Queue.prototype.dequeue = function() {
  if (!this.first) //check for empty list
    return null;

  temp = this.first; // grab top of list
  if (this.first==this.last) {
    this.last=null;  // when we need to pop the last one
  }
  this.first = this.first.next; // move top of list down
  this.size -= 1;
  return temp;
};

var stack = [];
stack.push(2);       // stack is now [2]
stack.push(5);       // stack is now [2, 5]
var i = stack.pop(); // stack is now [2]
alert(i);            // displays 5

var queue = [];
queue.push(2);         // queue is now [2]
queue.push(5);         // queue is now [2, 5]
var i = queue.shift(); // queue is now [5]
alert(i);              // displays 2

摘自“9个你可能不知道的JavaScript技巧”

Javascript数组shift()很慢，特别是当包含很多元素时。我知道两种方法来实现平摊O(1)复杂度的队列。

首先是使用循环缓冲区和表加倍。我以前实现过这个。你可以在这里看到我的源代码 https://github.com/kevyuu/rapid-queue

第二种方法是使用两个堆栈。这是带有两个堆栈的队列的代码

function createDoubleStackQueue() {
var that = {};
var pushContainer = [];
var popContainer = [];

function moveElementToPopContainer() {
    while (pushContainer.length !==0 ) {
        var element = pushContainer.pop();
        popContainer.push(element);
    }
}

that.push = function(element) {
    pushContainer.push(element);
};

that.shift = function() {
    if (popContainer.length === 0) {
        moveElementToPopContainer();
    }
    if (popContainer.length === 0) {
        return null;
    } else {
        return popContainer.pop();
    }
};

that.front = function() {
    if (popContainer.length === 0) {
        moveElementToPopContainer();
    }
    if (popContainer.length === 0) {
        return null;
    }
    return popContainer[popContainer.length - 1];
};

that.length = function() {
    return pushContainer.length + popContainer.length;
};

that.isEmpty = function() {
    return (pushContainer.length + popContainer.length) === 0;
};

return that;}

这是使用jsPerf进行的性能比较

CircularQueue.shift() vs Array.shift()

http://jsperf.com/rapidqueue-shift-vs-array-shift

正如你所看到的，大数据集的速度要快得多

Javascript有push和pop方法，它们操作在普通的Javascript数组对象上。

关于排队，请看这里:

http://safalra.com/web-design/javascript/queues/

Queues can be implemented in JavaScript using either the push and shift methods or unshift and pop methods of the array object. Although this is a simple way to implement queues, it is very inefficient for large queues — because of the methods operate on arrays, the shift and unshift methods move every element in the array each time they are called. Queue.js is a simple and efficient queue implementation for JavaScript whose dequeue function runs in amortized constant time. As a result, for larger queues, it can be significantly faster than using arrays.

下面是一个队列的链表版本，它也包括最后一个节点，这是@perkins建议的，也是最合适的。

// QUEUE Object Definition

var Queue = function() {
  this.first = null;
  this.last = null;
  this.size = 0;
};

var Node = function(data) {
  this.data = data;
  this.next = null;
};

Queue.prototype.enqueue = function(data) {
  var node = new Node(data);

  if (!this.first){ // for empty list first and last are the same
    this.first = node;
    this.last = node;
  } else { // otherwise we stick it on the end
    this.last.next=node;
    this.last=node;
  }

  this.size += 1;
  return node;
};

Queue.prototype.dequeue = function() {
  if (!this.first) //check for empty list
    return null;

  temp = this.first; // grab top of list
  if (this.first==this.last) {
    this.last=null;  // when we need to pop the last one
  }
  this.first = this.first.next; // move top of list down
  this.size -= 1;
  return temp;
};

这是我的实现堆栈。

function Stack() {
this.dataStore = [];
this.top = 0;
this.push = push;
this.pop = pop;
this.peek = peek;
this.clear = clear;
this.length = length;
}
function push(element) {
this.dataStore[this.top++] = element;
}
function peek() {
return this.dataStore[this.top-1];
}
function pop() {
return this.dataStore[--this.top];
}
function clear() {
this.top = 0;
}
function length() {
return this.top;
}

var s = new Stack();
s.push("David");
s.push("Raymond");
s.push("Bryan");
console.log("length: " + s.length());
console.log(s.peek());
