1 Queues and Lists

QUEUES Very similar to stacks The only difference between them is in the order in which elements are processed. A stack uses a last-in/first-out (LIFO) discipline A queue adopts a first-in/first-out (FIFO) model that more closely resembles a waiting line. 2

Queue ADT abstract typedef > queue; /* a queue is a sequence of elements, FIFO = First In First Out */ abstract int empty ( queue q ); postcondition: empty(s) == 1 if queue is empty, == 0 otherwise; abstract int full ( queue q ); postcondition: full(s) == 1 if queue is full, == 0 otherwise; 3

Queue ADT 4 abstract elements delete ( queue q ); /* dequeue */ precondition: empty(q) == 0; postcondition: first element is removed from queue q; abstract void insert ( queue q, elements e ); /* enqueue */ precondition: full(q) == 0; postcondition: element e is added to the end of queue q;

Circular Lists Linked lists have some limitations Given a pointer p, we can not reach preceding nodes In circular lists, next field of last node points to first node A node consists of Data Pointer to next node 6538 HeadNull 6538 Head

Circular Lists Keep a pointer to the last node How can we add or remove an element from either the front or the rear of the list? How can we check if the list is empty? 6538 list First node Last node

Queues as Circular Lists #define elements int struct node { elements info; struct node *next; }; typedef struct node node; 6538 list First node Last node node *insert_item ( node *l, elements i ); /* adds the element i to the rear of the list */ node *delete_item ( node *l, elements *i ); /* deletes the first element from the list */

Queues as Circular Lists node *insert_item ( node *l, int i ) { node *nl; nl = (node*)malloc(sizeof(node)); nl->info = i; if (l == NULL) nl->next = nl; else 6538 l { nl->next = l->next; l->next = nl; } return nl; }

Queues as Circular Lists node *delete_item ( node *l, int *i ) { assert(l != NULL); if (l->next == l) { *i = l->info; free(l); return NULL; } 6538 l else { node *head = l->next; *i = head->info; l->next = head->next; free(head); return l; }
