Study Notes
Introduction to Queues
- A queue is a linear data structure that follows the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) principle.
- Items are added to the rear (tail) and removed from the front (head).
- This ordering is crucial in various applications.
Queue Operations
- Enqueue: Adds an item to the rear of the queue.
- Dequeue: Removes an item from the front of the queue.
- Front/Peek: Accesses the element at the front without removing it.
- IsEmpty: Checks if the queue is empty.
- IsFull: Checks if the queue has reached its maximum capacity.
Queue Types
- Simple Queue/Linear Queue: Elements are added to the rear and removed from the front.
- Circular Queue: A queue that wraps around when it reaches its maximum capacity.
- Priority Queue: Elements are added and removed based on priority.
- Double-Ended Queue (Deque): Allows elements to be added and removed from both ends.
Implementing Queues
-
Using Arrays: Simple but can be less efficient compared to linked lists when implementing a circular queue.
- Handling overflow and underflow conditions are key implementation aspects to consider.
- Using Linked Lists: More flexible as it avoids the need to adjust array indices often associated with the array implementation.
Queue Advantages
- Easy to understand and use.
- Efficient for storing and retrieving data in the same order as insertion.
Queue Disadvantages
- Can have memory issues if implemented wrongly.
- Not suitable for applications with complex priority or insertion/ removal operations that need flexibility across ends (front and rear).
Applications of Queues
- Managing tasks in operating systems (e.g., print spooling, job scheduling)
- Handling requests in web servers.
- Breadth-first traversal in graph algorithms.
- Simulating queueing systems (e.g., call centers).
- Handling user input in applications.
- Implementing buffers for data transfer between different processes.
- Managing tasks in CPU scheduling.
Exercises
- Students are given exercises to understand and apply queue principles.
