    Study Notes

    Queue Operations

    • IsEmpty: checks if the queue is empty by checking if the head is null
    • Enqueue: creates a new tail (appends at the end) by setting newTail.NextItem to null and tail.NextItem to newTail
    • Dequeue: removes the head by setting result to head.Value and head to head.NextItem

    Array-Based Implementation

    • Uses an index to the front element and the end element
    • Initializes front and end to 0
    • If front == end, the queue is empty; if end == sizeOfArray, the queue is full
    • To enqueue: adds item at end and increments end
    • To dequeue: item is array[front], and increments front

    Modular Arithmetic

    • Uses modular arithmetic to solve the problem of array-based implementation
    • Example: 0%5 = 0, 1%5 = 1, ..., 5%5 = 0, ...

    Circular Array

    • Uses front and end pointers like before and initializes them to zero
    • Solves the problem of array-based implementation using modular arithmetic

    Time Complexity

    • Time complexity of operations depends on the implementation
    • Linked list implementation: O(1) for IsEmpty, Enqueue, and Dequeue
    • Array-based implementation: O(1) for IsEmpty, Enqueue, and Dequeue

    Distance Function

    • A distance function defines the distance between two elements in a set
    • Examples: Euclidian distance, String distance (Levenshtein distance)

    Levenshtein Distance

    • Measures the minimum number of operations to transform one string to another
    • Operations: insertion, deletion, substitution
    • Cases:
      • Case 1: x[i] == y[j]
      • Case 2: x[i] != y[j] and x is longer than y
      • Case 3: x[i] != y[j] and x is shorter than y
      • Case 4: x[i] != y[j] and x and y have different lengths
    • Formula: Lev(x[i], y[j]) = min(Lev(x[i-1], y[j-1]) + k, Lev(x[i-1], y[j]) + 1, Lev(x[i], y[j-1]) + 1)

    Graph Traversal

    • Time complexity: O(V + E)
    • Component 1: constant-time dequeue and visit
    • Component 2: constant-time check-and-enqueue for every adjacent vertex

    Examples

    • Graph traversal example with vertices and edges
    • Example of calculating the maximum distance between vertices
