pht\Queue::front

(PECL pht >= 0.0.1)

pht\Queue::frontReturns the first value from a queue

Beschreibung

public pht\Queue::front ( void ) : mixed

This method will remove a value from the front of the queue (in constant time). Attempting to return the front value from an empty queue will result in an Error exception.

Achtung

Due to the fact that all values in a pht\Queue are serialised, extracting a value from the queue will require it to be deserialised. This can incur a noticeable performance hit if the inspection of the queue's front value is performed within a loop.

Rückgabewerte

Beispiele

Beispiel #1 Retrieving the front value of a queue

<?php

use pht\Queue;

$queue = new Queue();

$queue->push(1);

var_dump($queue->front());

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:

int(1)

Beispiel #2 Retrieving the front value in a loop (bad example - don't do this)

<?php

use pht\Queue;

$queue = new Queue();

$queue->push(array_fill(020000));

for (
$i 0$i count($queue->front()); ++$i); // quadratic runtime

Beispiel #3 Retrieving the front value in a loop (good example)

<?php

use pht\Queue;

$queue = new Queue();

$queue->push(array_fill(020000));

$front $queue->front(); // create a separate variable
for ($i 0$i count($front); ++$i); // linear runtime
