/* This is an example illustrating the use of the queue component (and to some degree the generial idea behind most of the other container classes) from the dlib C++ Library.

Then it sorts the numbers and prints them to the screen. */ #include "dlib/queue.h" #include #include #include #include // I'm picking the version of the queue that is kernel_2a extended by // the queue sorting extension.
