  1. Hey man,
    I suggested to link also the stdlib library for the declaration of function exit.
    #include
    And you can use exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); instead of exit(0);

    Bye!

  2. dequeue is a function in c.”deque” is the short form of double ended queue and not “dequeue”.”dequeue”is function of removing an element from rear or front.
