CHAPTER - 12 - STACK ADT

12.1 INTRODUCTION

A stack is a list with the restriction that insertions and deletions can be performed in
only one position, namely, the end of the list, called the top. It follows Last-In-First-Out (LIFO)
principle.

12.2 OPERATIONS ON STACK

The fundamental operations on a stack are:

 Push - which is equivalent to insert

 Pop - which deletes the most recently inserted element
 Peek - return top of stack
 MakeEmpty – create an empty stack
 IsEmpty – check whether a stack is empty
 IsFull – check whether a stack is full

Fig. 12.1 Stack model: input to a stack is by push, output is by pop

Top  50
40
30
20
10

Fig. 12.2 Stack model: only the top element is accessible

12.3 PUSH

 The process of inserting a new element to the top of the stack is called push
operation.
 For every push operation the top is incremented by 1.

Top  20
Top  10 10
Top  Empty Stack After After
inserting an inserting an
element 10 element 20

12.4 POP

 The process of deleting an element from the top of stack is called pop operation.
 After every pop operation the top pointer is decremented by 1.

Top  30

13.1 INTRODUCTION

In this implementation each stack is associated with a top pointer, which is -1 for an
empty stack.

13.1.1 Push

To push an element X onto the stack, top pointer is incremented by 1 and then set:

 CHAPTER - 16 - BALANCING SYMBOLS

16.1 INTRODUCTION

Compilers check your programs for syntax errors, but frequently a lack of one symbol
(such as a missing brace or comment starter) will cause the compiler to spill out a hundred lines
of diagnostics without identifying the real error.

A useful tool in this situation is a program that checks whether everything is balanced.
Thus, every right brace, bracket, and parenthesis must correspond to their left counterparts.
The sequence [()] is legal, but [(]) is wrong. Obviously, it is not worthwhile writing a huge
program for this, but it turns out that it is easy to check these things. For simplicity, we will just
check for balancing of parentheses, brackets, and braces and ignore any other character that
appears.

The simple algorithm uses a stack and is as follows:

 Make an empty stack.

 Read characters until end of input.
 If the character read is not a symbol to be balanced, ignore it.
 If the character is an opening symbol like (, [, {, push it onto the stack.
 If it is a closing symbol like ), ], }, then if the stack is empty report an error as “Missing
opening symbol”. Otherwise, pop the stack.
 If the symbol popped is not the corresponding opening symbol, then report an error
as “Mismatched symbol”.
 At end of input, if the stack is not empty report an error as “Missing closing symbol”.
Otherwise, report as “Symbols are balanced”.

16.2 EXAMPLES

16.2.1 (a+b)

( a + b )
( ( ( (

Stack is empty  Symbols are balanced.

16.2.2 ((a+b)

 CHAPTER - 17 - NOTATIONS TO REPRESENT ARITHMETIC EXPRESSIONS

17.1 INTRODUCTION

There are 3 different ways of representing the algebraic expression. They are:

 Infix notation
 Postfix notation
 Prefix notation

17.2 INFIX NOTATION

In infix notation, the arithmetic operator appears between the two operands to which it
is being applied.

For example:

A/B+C

17.3 POSTFIX NOTATION

In postfix notation, the arithmetic operator appears directly after the two operands to
which it applies. It is also called as reverse polish notation.

For example:

((A/B) + C)  AB/C+

17.4 PREFIX NOTATION

In prefix notation, the arithmetic operator is placed before the two operands to which it
applies. It is also called as polish notation.

For example:

((A/B) + C)  +/ABC

32 B.BHUVANESWARAN | AP (SG) | CSE | Rajalakshmi Engineering College

 CHAPTER - 18 - INFIX TO POSTFIX CONVERSION

18.1 INTRODUCTION

To evaluate an arithmetic expression, first convert the given infix expression to postfix
expression and then evaluate the postfix expression using stack.

18.2 INFIX TO POSTFIX CONVERSION

Not only can a stack be used to evaluate a postfix expression, but we can also use a stack
to convert an expression in standard form (otherwise known as infix) into postfix.

The algorithm uses a stack and is as follows:

 Make an empty stack.

 Read the infix expression one character at a time until it encounters end of
expression.
 If the character is an operand, place it onto the output.
 If the character is an operator, push it onto the stack. If the stack operator has a
higher or equal priority than input operator, then pop that operator from the stack
and place it onto the output.
 If the character is a left parenthesis, push it onto the stack.
 If the character is a right parenthesis, pop all the operators from the stack till it
encounters left parenthesis, discard both the parenthesis in the output.

18.3 EXAMPLE-I

a+b*c+(d*e+f)*g

First, the symbol a is read, so it is passed through to the output. Then '+' is read and
pushed onto the stack. Next b is read and passed through to the output. The state of affairs at
this juncture is as follows:

Next a '*' is read. The top entry on the operator stack has lower precedence than '*', so
nothing is output and '*' is put on the stack. Next, c is read and output. Thus far, we have

The next symbol is a '+'. Checking the stack, we find that we will pop a '*' and place it on
the output, pop the other '+', which is not of lower but equal priority, on the stack, and then
push the '+'.

 The next symbol read is an '(', which, being of highest precedence, is placed on the stack.
Then d is read and output.

We continue by reading a '*'. Since open parentheses do not get removed except when a
closed parenthesis is being processed, there is no output. Next, e is read and output.

The next symbol read is a '+'. We pop and output '*' and then push '+'. Then we read and
output.

Now we read a ')', so the stack is emptied back to the '('. We output a '+'.

We read a '*' next; it is pushed onto the stack. Then g is read and output.

The input is now empty, so we pop and output symbols from the stack until it is empty.

Figure 18.1 shows the conversion algorithm working on the expression A * B + C * D.

Note that the first * operator is removed upon seeing the + operator. Also, + stays on the stack
when the second * occurs, since multiplication has precedence over addition. At the end of the
infix expression the stack is popped twice, removing both operators and placing + as the last
operator in the postfix expression.

 CHAPTER - 19 - EVALUATING POSTFIX EXPRESSION

19.1 INTRODUCTION

The easiest way to do this is to use a stack. The algorithm uses a stack and is as follows:

 Make an empty stack.

 Read the postfix expression one character at a time until it encounters end of
expression.
 If the character is an operand, push its associated value onto the stack.
 If the character is an operator, pop two values from the stack, apply the operator to
them and push the result onto the stack.

19.2 EXAMPLE-I

ab*cde/-+

Let us consider the symbols a, b, c, d, e had the associated values:

a4 b5 c5 d8 e2

2
8 8 4
a b * c d e /
5 5 5 5 5
4 4 20 20 20 20 20

- +
1
20 21

19.3 EXAMPLE-II

Consider the postfix expression 4 5 6 * +. As you scan the expression from left to right,
you first encounter the operands 4 and 5. Placing each on the stack ensures that they are
available if an operator comes next.

In this case, the next symbol is another operand. So, as before, push it and check the next
symbol. Now we see an operator, *. This means that the two most recent operands need to be
used in a multiplication operation. By popping the stack twice, we can get the proper operands
and then perform the multiplication (in this case getting the result 30).

We can now handle this result by placing it back on the stack so that it can be used as an
operand for the later operators in the expression. When the final operator is processed, there
will be only one value left on the stack. Pop and return it as the result of the expression. Fig. 9.1
shows the stack contents as this entire example expression is being processed.

 Fig. 19.1 Sack Contents During Evaluation

19.4 EXAMPLE-III

Fig. 19.2 shows a slightly more complex example, 7 8 + 3 2 + /. There are two things to
note in this example. First, the stack size grows, shrinks, and then grows again as the sub-
expressions are evaluated. Second, the division operation needs to be handled carefully. Recall
that the operands in the postfix expression are in their original order since postfix changes only
the placement of operators. When the operands for the division are popped from the stack, they
are reversed. Since division is not a commutative operator, in other words 15/515/5 is not the
same as 5/155/15, we must be sure that the order of the operands is not switched.

 CHAPTER - 20 - QUEUE ADT

20.1 INTRODUCTION

A queue is list with the restrictions that insertion is done at one end (rear), whereas
deletion is performed at the other end (front). It follows First-In-First-Out (FIFO) principle.

Example: Waiting line in a reservation counter.

20.2 OPERATIONS ON QUEUE

The basic operations on a queue are:

 Enqueue - which inserts an element at the end of the list (called rear).
 Dequeue - which deletes (and returns) the element at the start of the list (known as
front).

Fig. 20.1 shows the abstract model of a queue.

 CHAPTER - 23 - CIRCULAR QUEUE

23.1 INTRODUCTION

A circular queue is a queue whose start and end locations are logically connected with
each other. That means, the start location comes after the end location. If we continue to add
elements in a circular queue till its end location, then after the end location has been filled, the
next element will be added at the beginning of the queue.

Fig. 23.1 shows the logical representation of a circular queue.

Fig. 23.1 Circular Queue

As we can see in Fig. 23.2, the start location of the queue comes after its end location.
Thus, if the queue is filled till its capacity, i.e., the end location, then the start location will be
checked for space, and if it is empty, the new element will be added there.

Figure shows the different states of a circular queue during insert and delete operations.

Fig. 23.2 Inserting and deleting elements in a circular queue

23.1.1 Advantages

Circular queues remove one of the main disadvantages of array implemented queues in
which a lot of memory space is wasted due to inefficient utilization.

 CHAPTER - 24 - DOUBLE ENDED QUEUE

24.1 INTRODUCTION

A double-ended queue is a special type of queue that allows insertion and deletion of
elements at both ends, i.e., front and rear. In simple words, a double-ended queue can be
referred as a linear list of elements in which insertion and deletion of elements takes place at
its two ends but not in the middle. This is the reason why it is termed as double-ended queue
or deque.

Fig. 24.1 shows the logical representation of a deque.

Fig. 24.1 Double-ended Queue

24.2 TYPES

Based on the type of restrictions imposed on insertion and deletion of elements, a

double-ended queue is categorized into two types:

1. Input-restricted deque
2. Output-restricted deque

24.2.1 Input-restricted Deque

It allows deletion from both the ends but restricts the insertion at only one end.

24.2.2 Output-restricted Deque

It allows insertion at both the ends but restricts the deletion at only one end.

24.3 OPERATIONS

As shown in Fig., insertion and deletion of elements is possible at both front and rear
ends of the queue. As a result, the following four operations are possible for a double-ended
queue:

1. EnqueueFront : Insertion at front end of the queue.

2. DequeueFront : Deletion from front end of the queue.
3. EnqueueRear : Insertion at rear end of the queue.
4. DequeueRear : Deletion from rear end of the queue.
