Circular Queue and Double

Ended Queue
S. ABINESH
What is a Circular Queue?
A circular queue is a linear data structure that operates like a regular queue, but with a circular arrangement. It
allows elements to be inserted and removed from the rear and front of the queue, respectively.
Operations in a Circular Queue
Common operations include enqueuing (adding an element to the rear), dequeuing (removing an element
from the front), and checking for queue emptiness or fullness.

1 Enqueuing 2 Dequeuing
Adding an element to the rear of the queue. Removing an element from the front of the
queue.

3 isEmpty 4 isFull
Checking if the queue is empty. Checking if the queue is full.
Advantages and Disadvantages of
Circular Queues
Advantages Disadvantages

• Efficient memory utilization • Complexity in implementation


• Avoids wasted space • Potential for overflow
Introduction to Double Ended Queues
A double-ended queue, or deque, is a generalization of a queue that permits insertion and deletion operations
at both ends. This versatility makes it suitable for various scenarios.
Basic Operations in a Double Ended Queue
Double-ended queues offer a range of operations, including inserting and deleting at the front and rear, as well
as checking for queue emptiness.

Operation Description

insertFront Add an element to the front of the queue.

insertRear Add an element to the rear of the queue.

deleteFront Remove an element from the front of the queue.

deleteRear Remove an element from the rear of the queue.

isEmpty Check if the queue is empty.


Implementing a Double Ended Queue
Double-ended queues can be implemented using various techniques, including linked lists, arrays, or dynamic
arrays, depending on the specific requirements of the application.
