Queues - Basic Practice Problems Online

The java code below is a simple implementation of an array based data structure that is either a stack or a queue. What type of structure is this, and how should the three methods one(), two(), and three() be renamed so that they describe their functions?

public class data_structure {
    private int limit = 1000000;
    private int[] arr = new int[limit];
    private int size = 0;
    private int rear = limit - 1;

    public void one(int element){
        arr[ rear ] = element;
        size ++;
        rear --;
    }

    public int two(){
        rear ++;
        int temp = arr[rear];
        arr[rear] = 0;
        size -= 1;
        return temp;
    }

    public int three(){
        return arr[rear + 1];
    }
}

Suppose the following operations are made on a circular queue structure.

Insert entry \(A\).
Insert entry \(B\).
Insert entry \(C\).
Remove an entry.
Remove an entry.
Insert entry \(D\)
Insert entry \(E\).
Remove an entry.
Insert entry \(F\).
Remove an entry.

After completing these operations, what are the remaining items in the queue?

The code below makes use of a deque object. A deque object is similar to a queue except that it allows the insertion/deletion of an element to both the back and front of the queue. What does the pseudocode below output?

function isTrue(string) //Defines a new function 'isTrue' that returns boolean
    deq = new Deque(); //Creates a new deque object
    for char in string{ 
        deq.addRear(char) 
    }

    boolean equal = true //Creates a boolean variable called true

    while (deq.size() > 1 and equal){
        first = deq.removeFront()
        last = deq.removeRear()
        if (first != last){
            equal = false
        }
    return equal

boolean value_a = isTrue("radar")
boolean value_b = isTrue("plus")
boolean value_c = isTrue("madam")

if (value_a and value_b and !value_c)
  print 1
else if (value_a and !value_b and value_c)
  print 2
else if (!value_a and value_b and value_c)
  print 3
else if (!value_a and !value_b and value_c)
  print 4
else if (!value_a and !value_b and !value_c)
  print 5
else
  print 6

The addRear(e) method adds an item to the rear of a deque,the addFront(e) to the front and removeFront() and removeRear() remove the front and rear items of a deque respectively.

Which of the following best represents a queue data structure?

A) A pile of dirty dishes requiring washing

B) Requests on a single shared resource, like a printer

C) A line of people waiting to go to an amusement park ride

D) (B) and (C)

The below is incomplete python code to implement a queue that uses only two int variables(self.size and self.val) to save its contents.

from math import log
class Integral_queue:   
    def __init__(self):
        self.val = 0
        self.size = 0

    def enqueue(self,value):
        self.val += value * pow(10,self.size)
        self.size += 1

        #def deque(self...) INCOMPLETE

    def peek(self):
        return self.val % 10

    def is_empty(self):
            return self.size == 0

However, this queue only supports single digit integers as elements. Specifically, the only elements that can be pushed to the queue are numbers in the range \(1\) to \(9\). The dequeue() method of the queue class is incomplete. Which of the following methods correctly implements the dequeue() method?

A

def dequeue(self):
   power = pow(10,self.size-1)
   ret = self.val / power
   self.val = self.val % power
   self.size -= 1
   return ret

B

def dequeue(self):
   ret = self.val % 10
   self.val = self.val // 10
   self.size -= 1
   return ret

C

def dequeue(self):
  ret = floor(log(val,10))
  self.val /= 10
  size -= 1
  return ret

D

def dequeue(self):
  ret = int(str(self.val)[0])
  self.val = int(str(self.val)[1::])
  size -= 1
  return ret
