Implement a queue using an array in class. Make your queue size 5.

An array will need to handle wrap around. Think about removing from the front of a full queue. The queue will not be empty, but the items will be in indices 1, 2, 3 and 4 and index 0 will be free and the queue is not longer full. It would be inefficient to move all elements up in the array. However, the head is now at 1 and the tail is at 4, so you would add the 5th item in index 0. 

Queue() creates an empty queue, queue is new and empty.

enqueue(item) adds a new item to the queue, queue is modified.

dequeue() removes and returns an item, queue is modified.

isEmpty() returns a boolean and tests for an empty queue, queue is not modified.

size() returns the int size of the queue, queue is not modified

print() prints the queue from front to rear, queue is not modified.

peek() prints the front element, queue is not modified.

Driver should print the results of the following

enqueue("dog")

enqueue("cat")

enqueue("mouse")

enqueue("pig")

enqueue("bird")

size()

enqueue("puppy")

size()

dequeue()

size()
