I need help with my print function, so I can print the elements in a queue. The print function, that I have now is the last function in my header file. I tried to do a small simple program to see if it works, but it prints nothing to the screen. Please help!

I also tried doing this in my print function

for (int i = front; i < back; i++)
{
   list[i]
}

Small Simple Program

#include <iostream>
#include "queue.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    
queueType<int> Queue;

Queue.addQueue(5);
Queue.addQueue(10);
Queue.addQueue(15);
Queue.addQueue(20);     

Queue.printQueue();    
    
    
system ("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

queue.h
