==
The useful property of a circular buffer is that it does not need to have its elements shuffled around when one is consumed. (If a non-circular buffer were used then it would be necessary to shift all elements when one is consumed.) In other words, the circular buffer is well-suited as a [[FIFO (computing and electronics)|FIFO]] (''first in, first out'') buffer while a standard, non-circular buffer is well suited as a [[LIFO (computing)|LIFO]] (''last in, first out'') buffer.
