Program Plan Intro

Queue:

  • The queue is a linear data structure used to store a set of data.
  • The queue is a collection of data that are accessed in FIFO (first-in-first-out) order for performing the operations.
  • A queue is opened at both its ends. One end is for inserting items to the queue and the other end is for removing the items from the queue.
  • The two basic operations performed on queue are,
    • enqueue() – add an item to queue.
    • dequeue() – remove an item from the queue.
  • The queue does not have fixed size.

A(n) array can be used in an array implementation of a queue to avoid an overflow error at the rear of the queue when the queue is not full.
A data structure called a deque is closely related to a queue. The name deque stands for “double-ended queue.” The difference between the two is that with a deque, you can insert, remove, or view from either end of the queue. Implement a deque using arrays
A drop-out stack is a data structure that acts just like a stack except that if the stack size is n, and the n + 1 element is pushed, the first element is lost. Using an array, create a drop-out stack. (Hint: A circular array implementation would be appropriate.)
