why cant we just write this.front++ in the dequeue method instead of this.front = (this.front+1 )%data.length
Code doubt in video
Hi @himanshuep32, Using front++ will limit your inserting to size of array for example if the size of array is 5 you can only insert 5 elements. So if you insert a element and then pop it then the free space made by removing or popping the element cannot be reused … While in case of this.front=(this.front+1)%data.length you can reuse that space as taking mod with data.length will make array circular … That means if size of array is 5 then after index 4 you will check index 0 again and if that index is free you can insert element at index 0. However with this.front++ you cannot do so. Hope this helps
