Josephus Problem Using a circularly-linked list made the solution trivial. The solution would have been more difficult if an array had been used. This illustrates the fact that the choice of the appropriate data structures can significantly simplify an algorithm. It can make the algorithm much faster and efficient. http://ecomputernotes.com

This illustrates the fact that the choice of the appropriate data structures can significantly simplify an algorithm. It can make the algorithm much faster and efficient. Later we will see how some elegant data structures lie at the heart of major algorithms. An entire CS course “Design and Analysis of Algorithms” is devoted to this topic. http://ecomputernotes.com

Abstract Data Type We have looked at four different implementations of the List data structures: Using arrays Singly linked list Doubly linked list Circularly linked list. http://ecomputernotes.com

Abstract Data Type We have looked at four different implementations of the List data structures: Using arrays Singly linked list Doubly linked list Circularly linked list. The interface to the List stayed the same, i.e., add(), get(), next(), start(), remove() etc. The list is thus an abstract data type; we use it without being concerned with how it is implemented. http://ecomputernotes.com

Abstract Data Type What we care about is the methods that are available for use with the List ADT. http://ecomputernotes.com

We will publish the interface and keep the freedom to change the implementation of ADT without effecting users of the ADT. The C++ classes provide us the ability to create such ADTs. http://ecomputernotes.com

Stacks Stacks in real life: stack of books, stack of plates Add new items at the top Remove an item at the top Stack data structure similar to real life: collection of elements arranged in a linear order. Can only access element at the top http://ecomputernotes.com

Stack Operations Push(X) – insert X as the top element of the stack Pop() – remove the top element of the stack and return it. Top() – return the top element without removing it from the stack. http://ecomputernotes.com

Stack Operations push(2) top 2 push(5) top 2 5 push(7) top 2 5 7 push(1) top 2 5 7 1 1 pop() top 2 5 7 push(21) top 2 5 7 21 21 pop() top 2 5 7 7 pop() 2 5 top 5 pop() 2 top http://ecomputernotes.com

Stack Operation The last element to go into the stack is the first to come out: LIFO – Last In First Out. What happens if we call pop() and there is no element? Have IsEmpty() boolean function that returns true if stack is empty, false otherwise. Throw StackEmpty exception: advanced C++ concept. http://ecomputernotes.com

Stack Implementation: Array Worst case for insertion and deletion from an array when insert and delete from the beginning: shift elements to the left. Best case for insert and delete is at the end of the array – no need to shift any elements. Implement push() and pop() by inserting and deleting at the end of an array. http://ecomputernotes.com

Stack using an Array top 2 5 7 1 2 5 7 1 0 1 3 2 4 top = 3 http://ecomputernotes.com

Stack using an Array In case of an array, it is possible that the array may “fill-up” if we push enough elements. Have a boolean function IsFull() which returns true is stack (array) is full, false otherwise. We would call this function before calling push(x). http://ecomputernotes.com

Stack Operations with Array int pop() { return A[current--]; } void push(int x) { A[++current] = x; } http://ecomputernotes.com

Stack Operations with Array int top() { return A[current]; } int IsEmpty() { return ( current == -1 ); } int IsFull() { return ( current == size-1); } A quick examination shows that all five operations take constant time. http://ecomputernotes.com

Stack Using Linked List We can avoid the size limitation of a stack implemented with an array by using a linked list to hold the stack elements. As with array, however, we need to decide where to insert elements in the list and where to delete them so that push and pop will run the fastest. http://ecomputernotes.com
