the input of the function below is being stored in a list and it is volatile.can i store tht list or vector in a file so tht it will be permanent n delete or modify the things in it by opening the file itself. i have tried to add a file bt it didnt work .the file is storing the input bt nt the queue,so everytime i try to access the value inside the queue cannot
