🌸 Nice work, Angela. I left a comment on your __str__ implementation for queue - it doesn't quite consider all of the cases it needs to for a queue implemented with a circular buffer. Additionally, I'd like for you to fill out the comprehension questions for a green score. Let me know what questions you have.

This will only work in the case that the rear pointer has an index greater than that of the front index.

In the case that the rear pointer has wrapped around to the front of the queue, the rear pointer will be less than the front pointer and your code will end up returning an empty string.
