We are trying to use two stacks to implement a queue. Name the two stacks as E and D. We will enqueue into E and dequeue from D. To implement enqueue(e), simply call E.push(e). To implement dequeue(), simply call D.pop(), provided that D is not empty. If D is empty, iteratively pop every element from E and push it onto D, until E is empty, and then call D.pop().

Considering the worst case running time, what is the performance in terms of big Oh of an enqueue operation? What is the performance in terms of big Oh of a dequeue operation?
To complete one task, we need perform n operations, half enqueue and half dequeue (assume no dequeue from empty queue). What is the worst case overall running time (big oh) for the whole task?

Expert Solution

Enqueue operation will have a time complexity of O(1). This operation will take constant time because every time the function enqueue is called, we simply have to call push operation on stack E, which is a constant time operation.

Whereas in the case of the Dequeue operation, in the worst case, we will have pop all the elements from the stack E and push them into the stack D. Assuming there is n number of elements in the stack E, popping all of them will take O(n) time (constant time(1) * n).

Now let us consider the case of performing n operations, where half of the are enqueue and other half are dequeue. Performing n/2 enqueue operations will take (n/2)*1 time i.e. O(n/2).

For (n/2) dequeue operations, it has been mentioned that none of them is performed on an empty queue. In the worst case, time complexity will look like O(n + (n-1)+(n-2)+(n-3)+.........1+0). It is because when for the first time dequeue is called, we will pop one element from stack D so next time when deque is called, we will have one element less to push into stack D(considering that stack D is empty). So the above time complexity can be written as O(n²). So overall, we can say that the worst case time complexity for the provided case will be O(n²).

Code in C++ Learning Outcomes Implement two stacks and use them to implement an infix to prefix expression convertor Stacks A stack is an abstract data type which uses a sequential container and limits access to that container to one end. You may enter or remove from the container, but only at one end. Using the Linked List data structure from your last homework assignment, implement a Stack of type string. The Stack should only have one data member: the...

Write a C++ class that implement two stacks using a single C++ array. That is, it should have functions pop_first(), pop_second(), push_first(…), push_second(…), size_first(), size_second(), …. When out of space, double the size of the array (similarly to what vector is doing). Notes: Complete all the functions in exercise_2.cpp, then submit this cpp file. pop_first() and pop_second() should throw std::out_of_range exception when stack is empty.

One way to implement a queue is to use a circular linked list. In a circular linked list, the last node’s next pointer points at the first node. Assume the list does not contain a header and that we can maintain, at most, one iterator corresponding to a node in the list. For which of the following representations can all basic queue operations be performed in constant worst time? Justify your answers. Maintain an iterator that corresponds to the first...

Implement a stack using a single queue. In particular, you are given a queue Q that provides the method Q.size() to return its size at any point and the standard methods of queues (i.e, Q.enqueue(x) and Q.dequeue()). The requirement is to use such methods of Q to implement two methods S.push(x) and S.pop() for a stack S. What are the running times of your methods? Kindly answer using python programming

Implement a Priority Queue (PQ) using an UNSORTED LIST. Use an array size of 10 elements. Use a circular array: Next index after last index is 0. Add the new node to next available index in the array. When you add an element, add 1 to index (hit max index, go to index 0). Test if array in full before you add. When you remove an element, from the list, move the following elements to the left to fill in...
