Reverse Queue using Stack

Implementing a stack using a single queue requires N-1 enqueue operations and one dequeue operation to pop an element. Imagine removing the top element from a stack: You move all elements except the top one to a temporary queue, then move them back to the original queue, finally removing the top element.

Tree Detection

A tree is a connected graph without any cycles. To determine if a graph of 5 nodes is a tree, check if there are any cycles within the graph.

BST from Traversals

A Binary Search Tree (BST) can be constructed from either a preorder or postorder traversal. Both traversals provide the necessary information about the structure and element ordering.

Priority Queue Algorithm

Dijkstra's Algorithm uses a priority queue to find the shortest path in a graph. This queue keeps track of the nodes that are closest to the source node, prioritizing nodes that are likely to be on the shortest path.

BFS and DFS Data Structures

A Breadth-First Search (BFS) uses a queue, iterating through levels of the graph one by one. A Depth-First Search (DFS) uses a stack, going deep into one branch of the graph before exploring other branches.

Static Local Variable Scope

A static local variable retains its value across multiple function calls. Unlike regular local variables, it doesn't get destroyed when the function ends.

Loop with 'break'

The loop will execute until it reaches the 'break' statement at which point it terminates. Any code after 'break' inside the loop is not executed.

Memory Management Example

This code snippet demonstrates a recursive function that prints a linked list in reverse order. It utilizes the stack for recursive call management, illustrating the stack's role in memory allocation during function calls.

Reversing a Queue using a Stack

This code reverses the elements of a queue using a stack by first dequeueing elements from the queue and pushing them onto the stack, then popping from the stack and enqueueing back into the queue. This results in the original order of elements being reversed.

Study Notes

Question 1 Summary

  • Static local variables are lost when the function ends
  • Their values are retained across different calls to the function
  • They behave similarly to local variables, ending when the block ends

Question 2 Summary

  • The pseudocode demonstrates the selection of data types
  • The example uses a string array ("colors")

Question 3 Summary

  • A function can have one return value
  • Multiple return values are possible, but depend on the context
