Queue, Queeu, Quuee

PRO TIP: the letters in “queue” describe the order elements are accessed.

  • queue /ˈkju/: first-in first-out
  • queeu /ˈki.ju/: last-in first-out
  • quuee /kuˈwi/: general interface, order unspecified

See also “quay” /ki/, my least favorite spelling in the English language.


Further data structures per Nikolai Vazquez:

  • que /kɛ/: a write-only data structure
  • q /kʊ/: a permanently-empty collection
