Stacks Chapter 3 Ceng-112 Data Structures I Turgut Kalfaoglu 1 Linear Lists Operations are; 1. Insertion 2. Deletion 3. Retrieval 4. Traversal (exception for restristed lists). Ceng-112 Data Structures I Turgut Kalfaoglu Figure 3-2 2 Stacks A stack is a Last in First out (LIFO) data structure in which all insertions and deletions are restricted to one end called top.

Pre Nothing Post Head node allocated or error returned Return pointer to head node or null pointer if no memory 1. if (memory available) 1. 2. 3. 2. allocate (stackPtr) stackPtrcount = 0 stackPtrtop = null else 1. stackPtr = null 3. return stackPtr end createStack Ceng-112 Data Structures I Turgut Kalfaoglu 12 Push Stack Figure 4-9 Ceng-112 Data Structures I Turgut Kalfaoglu 13 algorithm pushStack(val stack <head pointer>, val data <data type>) Insert (push) one item into the stack. Pre stack is a pointer to the stack head structure. data contains data to be pushed into stack. Post data have been pushed in stack. 1. if (stack full) 1. 2.

Pre stack is a pointer to the stack head structure. dataOut is a reference variable to receive the data. Post data have been returned to the calling algorithm. 1. if (stack empty) 1. 2.

Pre stack is a pointer to the stack head structure. Post stack empty and all nodes recycled 1. if (stack not empty) 1. loop 1. temp = stacktop 2. stacktop = stacktoplink 3. recycled(temp) 2. recycled (stack) 3. return null pointer end destroyStack Ceng-112 Data Structures I Turgut Kalfaoglu 17 Stack Applications We can be classified stack applications into four categories: 1. Reversing data. 2. Parsing data. 3. Postponing data usage. 4. Backtracking steps.

Prefix Infix Postfix +a b a + b a b + Arithmetic precedence; multiply and divide before add and subtract! Ceng-112 Data Structures I Turgut Kalfaoglu 22 Stack Applications Posponement A+B *C Place the paranthesis ( A + ( B * C)) Replace it in postfix format (A(BC*)+) Remove all paranthesis ABC*+ Implementation by computer is too hard! Ceng-112 Data Structures I Turgut Kalfaoglu 23 Stack Applications Posponement * and / operators have higher priority than the operator at the top of the stack.

'a' is added to the Postfix string. The next character scanned is '+'. It being an operator, it is pushed to the stack. • Next character scanned is 'b' which will be placed in the Postfix string. Next character is '*' which is an operator. Now, the top element of the stack is '+' which has lower precedence than '*', so '*' will be pushed to the stack. • The next character is 'c' which is placed in the Postfix string. Next character scanned is '-'. The topmost character in the stack is '*' which has a higher precedence than '-'. Thus '*' will be popped out from the stack and added to the Postfix string. Even now the stack is not empty. Now the topmost element of the stack is '+' which has equal priority to '-'. So pop the '+' from the stack and add it to the Postfix string. The '-' will be pushed to the stack. • Next character is 'd' which is added to Postfix string. Now all characters have been scanned so we must pop the remaining elements from the stack and add it to the Postfix string. At this stage we have only a '-' in the stack. It is popped out and added to the Postfix string. So, after all characters are scanned, this is how the stack and Postfix string will be : • End result : • * Infix String : a+b*c-d • * Postfix String : abc*+d- Ceng-112 Data Structures I Turgut Kalfaoglu 28 Stack Applications BackTracking Figure 4-14 Ceng-112 Data Structures I Turgut Kalfaoglu 29 Figure 4-15 Ceng-112 Data Structures I Turgut Kalfaoglu 30 Stack Applications BackTracking Figure 4-16 Ceng-112 Data Structures I Turgut Kalfaoglu 31 Figure 4-17 Ceng-112 Data Structures I Turgut Kalfaoglu 32 Array Implementation of Stacks stack stackAry <pointer to array of dataType> count <integer> stackMax <integer> top <index> end stack Figure 4-20 Ceng-112 Data Structures I Turgut Kalfaoglu 33 Hw-5 Write a program that accepts parentheses and brackets characters, one per line on standard input. Use a stack to determine whether pairs of characters are matching or not. Therefore complete the body of below function. bool balanced(const char p[ ], size_t n) // Precondition: p[0]...p[n-1] contains n characters, each of which // is '(', ')', '{' or '}'. // Postcondition: The function returns true if the characters form a // sequence of correctly balanced parentheses with each '(' matching // a ')' and each '{' matching a '}'. Note that a sequence such as // ( { ) } is NOT balanced because when we draw lines to match the // parentheses to their partners, the lines cross each other. On the // other hand, ( { } ) amd { ( ) } are both balanced. Load your HW-5 to FTP site until 13 Apr. 07 at 09:00 am.
