Question of the Day
How can you change the position of 1 toothpick and leave the giraffe in exactly the same form, but possibly mirror-imaged or oriented differently, as before?

LECTURE 23:QUEUES
CSC 212 – Data Structures
Last-In, First-Out principle used to access data Also called LIFO ordering
Top of stack is where data added & removed Only useful location; cannot access
anything else
Using Stack
Stack Limitations
Great for Pez dispensers, JVMs,& methods All of these use most recent item added
only Do not complain when later additions
served first Many situations use items in order
added Checker at Wegmans & others prevent
cutting in line Use first-come, first-served getting food at
dining hall
Collection’s operations are part of Queue As in Stack, declares size() & isEmpty()
Add & remove elements using 2 methods Element gets added to end with enqueue(elem) dequeue() removes front element in structure
Also includes method to peek in at first element front() returns element at front without removing
Queue ADT
Queue Interface
public interface Queue<E> extends Collection {public E front() throws EmptyQueueException;public E dequeue() throws EmptyQueueException;public void enqueue(E element);
}
Very similar to Stack interface Defines specific methods to add, remove, &
view data Holds many elements, but can access only
one Stack & Queue always add to the end
Remove element at start of this QUEUE… …while STACK removes element at the end
Stacks vs. Queues
Access data with Stack in LIFO order
Last In-First Out Completely unfair (unless you are always
late) Data accessed in Queue using FIFO
order
First In-First Out Lines at bank, airports represented fairly
with these
“Obvious” implementation uses an array Must consume a constant amount of space enqueue() throws exception when it lacks
space Instead write linked list-based
implementation Singly-, doubly-, or circular-linked list could
work Size of the Queue grows & shrinks as
needed No additional exceptions needed, but is it
slower?
Queue Implementation
Class defines fields aliased to first & last nodes head & rear often used as fields’ names
(creative!) enqueue element by adding new Node after rear
Set head to next Node in list to dequeue element
Linked-list based Queue

STACKS are easy for arrays: only 1 end “moves” Can always find Stack’s bottom at index 0
QUEUES are harder, because both ends move dequeue calls will remove element at front Add element to back with calls to enqueue
Ends of a array-based QUEUE like clock time
Circular Access

Array-based Queue Operations
Based on clock math Uses mod
(remainder) Java expressed mod
as %
How mod works:0 % 3 = 01 % 3 = 12 % 3 = 23 % 3 = 0
