Question

I use following code for the Dijkstra’s algoritm:

int Graph::ShortestPath(Vertex *start, Vertex *end)
{
    int posStart = IndexOfNode(start);
    int posEnd = IndexOfNode(end);
    int result;

    bool visit[cntNodes];
    int distance[cntNodes];
    // Initialization: set every distance to -1 until we discover a path
    for (int i = 0; i < cntNodes; i++) {
        visit[i] = false;
        distance[i] = -1;
    } // for

    // The distance from the source to the source is defined to be zero
    distance[posStart] = 0;

    Queue *q = new Queue(maxNodes);
    q->Enqueue(posStart);
    while (!q->Empty()) {
        int next, alternative;
        q.Dequeue(next);
        for (int i = 0; i < cntNodes; i++) {
            if (adjmatrix[next][i]) {
                alternative = distance[next] + adjmatrix[next][i];
                if (visit[i]) {
                    if (alternative < distance[i]) {
                        distance[i] = alternative;
                        q.Enqueue(i);
                    } // if
                }// if
                else {
                    distance[i] = alternative;
                    visit[i] = true;
                    q.Enqueue(i);
                } // else
            } // if
        } // for
    }
    delete q;
    result = distance[posEnd];
    delete[] visit;
    delete[] distance;
    return result;
}

Right now I use an own created class called Queue:

Queue *q = new Queue(maxNodes)

Is there any C++ standard Queue which I could use instead of my own implementation.

I only need this functionality:

Queue *q = new Queue(maxNodes);
q->Enqueue(posStart);
    q.Dequeue(next);

Thanks!

Yes. Please check the Standard Template Library for this and numerous other collection classes.
