Stack
What is a Stack?
1) It is a data structure for storing some values
2) It is an ADT.
3) Implemented using Arrays or Linked List
4) used in Operating System and in System
Programming
FIST, Multi Media University
Stack
How to Store and Retrieve from a Stack?
1) All Insertions ( Storing) and Deletions (Removing)
of entries are made at one end called the TOP of Stack
2) Last item added to a stack (PUSH) is always the first
that will be removed (POP) from the stack.
3) This property is called Last In First Out also known
as LIFO
4) The operations are done with a single pointer to the
top of list of elements.

Operations
• There are Four operations :
1) Push ( )
used to add the data at the top of the stack.
Check whether the stack is full or not
2) Pop ( )
used to remove data at the top of the stack.
Check whether the stack is empty or not
3) Empty ( )
Checks whether stack is empty, TOP = -1
4) Full ( )
FIST, Multistack
Media University
checks whether
is full, TOP = maxstacksize
Stack - implementation
• Uses ARRAY to represent a stack
Class stack
{ private :
int stackelement[10],TOP;
public:
stack( ) { top = -1}
int Empty( );
void push(int);
int Full ( );
int Pop( );FIST, Multi Media University };
Stack
How to Push?
Void stack :: Push(int data2add)
{ if (!Full( ))
{ TOP++;
Stackelement[TOP] = data2add;
}
else
cout << “Stack is Full!!!”<<endl;
}
FIST, Multi Media University
Stack
How to Pop?
Int stack :: Pop( )
{int data2remove;
if (!Empty( ))
{ data2remove = Stackelement[TOP];
TOP--;
return data2remove; }
else{ cout << “Stack is Empty!!!”<<endl;
return 0;
} }

Applications of Stack
We shall see two applications of the stack
1) Use of Stacks in Function Calls
2) Palindrome Checking
FIST, Multi Media University
Use of Stacks in Function Calls
• Whenever a function begins execution an
ACTIVATION RECORD (Stack Frame) is created
• to store the current environment for that function which
includes
This structure should LIFO
because , when a function
terminates, the function with
which to resume execution is
the last function whose
activation record was saved.
Parameters
Caller’s state information
Local variables
Temporary storage

Palindrome Checking
What is a palindrome?
A palindrome is a word/sentence that is the
same if read both ways.
You might have noticed that if you push some
characters into a stack and pop them out , they
will appear in reverse order.
So Stacks are used for this purpose.

Queue
What is a Queue?
1) It is a data structure for storing some values
2) It is an ADT.
3) Implemented using Arrays or Linked List
FIST, Multi Media University
Queue
How to Store and Retrieve from a Queue?
1) A Data Structure in which all Additions to the list are
made at one end, and all Deletions from the list are
made at other end.
2) First item added to a queue (ADD) is always the first
that will be removed (REMOVE) from the queue.
3) This property is called First In First Out also known as
FIFO
4) It can be maintained with two pointers namely FRONT
(REMOVE) and REAR ( ADD).

Operations
There are Four operations :
1) Addend ( )
used to add the data at the Tail of the Queue.
Check whether the Queue is full or not
2) Serve ( )
used to remove data at the top of the stack.
Check whether the Queue is empty or not
3) Empty ( )
Checks whether Queue is empty, Tail = -1
4) Full ( )
checks whether Queue is full, Tail = maxqueuesize

Serving
Three Methods of Serving
1) increment head to 1
runs out of storage
2) when the first person has be served the remaining persons in the
Queue shuffle forward one place.
Can serve unlimited number of persons as long as the queue never
exceeds the maximum size
3) Use cyclic queues

• Cyclic Queues

Cyclic Queues
What is a Cyclic Queue?
we need to imagine that the array allocated to the queue
is not linear but cyclic, i.e. that it forms a circle.
EG:
So that if for instance 10 elements are allocated to the queue with
the element positions running from 0 to 9 then when the tail gets
to position 9 the next element to be added can go to position 0
providing that position has already been “served” (vacant).
.Thus the two problems of the queues are solved .
FIST, Multi Media University
Cyclic Queue
Example: Queue implemented using an array of size 6 with 4 data items
inserted in to the queue
Head
Tail
0 1 2 3 4 5
The following actions will cause the “head” and “tail” to
move through the array

Note: A Cyclic queue will always be of fixed size (say n)
and the size information must be available to update
the pointers “head” and “tail”.
FIST, Multi Media University
Cyclic Queue
The wrapping around can be achieved by updating the
pointers as follows:
Delete: head = (head+1) % n
Insert: tail = (tail + 1) % n
i.e., Whenever a pointer is incremented, take modulo n.
The above operations is needed to check if the queue is
empty or full.
FIST, Multi Media University
Cyclic Queue
Consider when there is only one element in the queue
• In this case, both the pointers coincide (head == tail)
• The queue becomes empty when the element is deleted

Empty Queue

Multi Media University
Cyclic Queue
For an empty queue, we have the condition
head = (tail + 1) % n
The above condition is also satisfied when the queue is full
We resolve the ambiguity between two cases
if the condition head = (tail+1)% n is satisfied up on deleting an
item from the queue, then queue is empty
if the condition head = (tail + 1) % n is satisfied up on inserting an
item in to the queue, then queue is full.

How to Add?
void Addend(int x)
{
if (!Full())
{
tail=(tail+1)%MAX;
a[tail]=x;
count++;
cout<<x<<" added to the queue"<<endl;
}
else cout<<"Full Queue"<<endl;
}
FIST, Multi Media University
implementation
How to Delete?
int Serve()
{ int x;
if (!Empty())
{
x=a[head];
head=(head+1)%MAX;
count--;
cout<<x<<" served from the queue"<<endl;
return x;
}
else cout<<"Empty FIST,
Queue"<<endl;
