Queue and Stack By SIVAKUMAR R
Queue - Introduction • Follows FIFO (First In First Out). • Insert at rear (Enqueue), remove from front (Dequeue). Explanation: Think of a line at a ticket counter; first person to enter is first to leave. Queue Representation
Queue - Representation • Array representation. • Linked list implementation. Explanation: Arrays are simple but have fixed size; Linked lists are dynamic.
Queue - Operations • Enqueue, Dequeue, Peek, isEmpty, isFull. Explanation: Operations help manage elements efficiently.
Types of Queue • Simple Queue • Circular Queue • Priority Queue • Deque Explanation: Different types provide flexibility for various use cases.
Applications of Queue • CPU scheduling • Disk scheduling • Data buffering • Request handling Explanation: Queues are used wherever order of processing matters.
Stack - Introduction • Follows LIFO (Last In First Out). • Insert and remove from the same end (Top). Explanation: Think of a stack of plates; last placed is first removed. Element 3 Element 2 Element 1
Stack - Representation • Array representation. • Linked list implementation. Explanation: Similar to queues, arrays are fixed while linked lists are flexible.
Applications of Stack • Function calls • Expression evaluation • Parsing • Undo/Redo • Backtracking Explanation: Stacks are vital in programming and problem solving.
