CHAPTER 4
STACKS AND QUEUES
TOPICS

• Stacks
• Infix, Postfix, and Infix Expressions
• Conversion of expressions
• Manual conversion
• Stack implementation
• Queues
STACKS

• Stacks are linear data structures, that can only be accessed at


one end for storing and retrieving data.
• New data is added to the top of a stack, and data is also
retrieved from the top of the stack.
• Similar to a stack of trays in a canteen.
• It is a LIFO structure (Last In First Out).
EXAMPLES OF STACK
STACKS

• Key operations;
• Clear() – clears the stack
• isEmpty() – Tests if the stack is empty
• Push(el) – adds ‘el’ to the top of the stack
• Pop() – Retrieves the top element of the stack
• topEl() – Returns the top element without removing it.
STACK USE

• Consider the problem of matching delimiters in a program;


• Delimiters : [, ], {, }, (, ), /*, */
• Problem; to test the delimiters have been correctly matched;
• A) while(m<(n[8] + o)) {p=7; /*initialise p*/ r=6;}
• B) a = b + ( c – d ) * ( e - f ))
• Case A should return a success, while case B should
return an error.
delimiterMatching(file)
read character ch from file;
while not end of file
if ch is ‘(‘, ‘[‘, or ‘{‘
push(ch);
else if ch is ‘/’
read next character;
if this character is ‘*’
skip all characters until “*/” is found and report an error
if the eof is reached before “*/” is encountered;
else ch = the character read in;
continue; // go to beginning of the loop;
else if ch is ‘)’, ‘]’, or ‘}’
if ch and popped off delimiter do not match
failure;
// else ignore other characters;
read next character ch from file;
if stack is empty
success;
else failure;
STACK CASE

• A) while(m<(n[8] + o)) {p=7; /*initialise p*/ r=6;}

• Add to stack ( - (
• Add to stack ( - ((
• Add to stack [ - (([
• Remove from stack [ - ((
• Remove from stack ( - (
• Remove from stack ( -
• Add to stack { - {
• Add to stack /* - { /*
• Remove from stack */ - }
• Remove from stack } -
addingLargeNumbers()
read the numerals of the first number and store the numbers
corresponding to them on one stack;
read the numerals of the second number and store the numbers
corresponding to them another stack;
result = 0;
while at least one stack is not empty
pop a number from each nonempty stack and add them
to result;
push the unit part on the result stack;
store carry in result;
push carry on the result stack if it is not zero;
pop numbers from the result stack and display them;

Stack Implementation
(Refer to Chapter 4a)
QUEUES

• Queues are also linear data structures, however it is a waiting


line, where both ends are used.
• Data is added to one end of the line, and retrieved from the
other.
• Similar to a Queue in a bank etc.
• It is a FIFO structure (First In First Out).
QUEUE

• Key Operations;
• Clear() – Clear the queue
• isEmpty() – Check if the queue is empty
• Enqueue(el) – Add ‘el’ to end of queue
• Dequeue() – Take first element from queue
• firstEl() – Return first element without removing it.
QUEUE USE

• Simulating any queue;


• To determine how many staff are needed in a bank to maintain a good
level of service,
• Or, how many kiosks to open at the motorway toll.
Round the wondrous globe I wander wild,
Up and down-hill – Age succeeds to youth –
Toiling all in vain to find a child
Half so loving, half so dear as Ruth
by Lewis Carroll

acrosticIndicator()
while not finished
read a line of poem;
enqueue the first letter of the line;
while queue is not empty
dequeue and print a letter;
