Donald Knuth on Implementing Circular Queue with Sequential Allocation: Overflow Not Detected (F=0)

In this article, we will discuss Donald Knuth's approach to implementing circular queues using sequential allocation. Specifically, we will focus on the case where overflow is not detected (F=0), as mentioned in section 2.2.2 of TAOCP Volume 1. Knuth presents two cases (4) and (5), and suggests using (6a) and (7a) for implementation. Let's dive into the details.
