Study Notes
Introduction to Data Structures
- Textbook: "Data Structures using C / C++" by Yedidyah, Augenstein, and Tenenbaum, 2nd edition, 2015.
- Reference Book: "Data Structures and Program Design in C" by Kruse, Leung, Tondo, Mogalla, 2nd Edition, 2019.
Queue Structure
- A queue is a linear structure that operates on a First In First Out (FIFO) basis.
- In queues, the first consumer served is the one who arrived first, distinguishing them from stacks, where the most recently added item is removed first.
Basic Operations on Queues
- Enqueue(): Adds an element to the rear end of the queue.
- Dequeue(): Removes an element from the front of the queue.
- Peek(): Retrieves the front element without removing it.
- isFull(): Checks if the queue has reached its maximum capacity.
- isEmpty(): Verifies if the queue is empty.
Enqueue Operation
- Check if the queue is full; if so, an overflow error occurs.
- Increment the rear pointer to the next available space.
- Insert the new element at the rear position.
Dequeue Operation
- Verify if the queue is empty; if so, an underflow error occurs.
- Access the element at the front position.
- Move the front pointer to the next data element.
Peek Operation
- Confirm if the queue is empty; print "Queue is Empty" if true.
- Access the front element and return its value.
isFull Operation
- Determines if the maximum element count is reached by checking if rear equals MAXSIZE - 1.
- Returns "Queue is Full" if true, otherwise "Queue is not Full."
isEmpty Operation
- Compares if both the front and rear pointers are pointing to NULL.
- Indicates "Queue is empty" if they are; otherwise, "Queue is not empty."
Queue Implementations
- Implementations can be done using arrays and linked lists with specific files for the main logic and structure.
Circular Queue
- A circular queue connects the end position back to the start, creating a circular buffer.
- Utilizes pointers to maintain circular behavior, allowing movement from 0 to N-1 (maximum size).
- The rear pointer indicates the next free position while the front pointer shows the first full position.
Circular Queue Conditions
- A circular queue is empty when
rear == front. - It is considered full when
((rear + 1) % BUFFER_SIZE) == front.
Deque (Double-Ended Queue)
- A deque allows insertion and deletion at both front and rear ends, in contrast to a standard queue.
- Combines properties of both queues and stacks, enhancing flexibility in data management.
