Stack Overview
Stack
ADT Basic operations of stack
Pushing, popping etc.
Implementations
of stacks using
array linked list
Stack
A stack is a list in which insertion and deletion take place at the same end
This end is called top The other end is called bottom
Stacks are known as LIFO (Last In, First Out) lists.
The last element inserted will be the first to be retrieved
Push and Pop
Primary Push
operations: Push and Pop
Add an element to the top of the stack Remove the element at the top of the stack
push an element top push another pop
Pop
empty stack

Implementation of Stacks
Any
list implementation could be used to implement a stack
Arrays (static: the size of stack is given initially) Linked lists (dynamic: never become full)
We
will explore implementations based on array and linked list
Stack ADT
class Stack { public: Stack(); // constructor Stack(const Stack& stack); // copy constructor ~Stack(); // destructor bool empty() const; void push(const double x); double pop(); // change the stack double top() const; // bool full(); // void print() const; private: }; physical constructor/destructor
update, logical constructor/destructor, composition/decomposition inspection, access
// keep the stack unchanged // optional
Compare with List, see that its operations that define the type!
Using Stack
int main(void) { Stack stack; stack.push(5.0); stack.push(6.5); stack.push(-3.0); stack.push(-8.0); stack.print(); cout << "Top: " << stack.top() << endl;
stack.pop(); cout << "Top: " << stack.top() << endl; while (!stack.empty()) stack.pop(); stack.print(); return 0;
}
result
Stack using linked lists
struct Node{ public: double data; Node* next; }; class Stack { public: Stack(); // constructor Stack(const Stack& stack); // copy constructor ~Stack(); // destructor bool empty() const; void push(const double x); double pop(); // change the stack bool full(); // unnecessary for linked lists double top() const; // keep the stack unchanged void print() const; private: Node* top; };
10
Push (addHead), Pop (deleteHead)
void List::addHead(int newdata){
Nodeptr newPtr = new Node; newPtr->data = newdata; newPtr->next = head; From addHead to push head = newPtr;
}
void Stack::push(double x){ Node* newPtr = new Node; newPtr->data = x; newPtr->next = top; top = newPtr;
11
Implementation based on existing linked lists
to learn Good to see that we may re-use linked lists
Optional
12
Now lets implement a stack based on a linked list To make the best out of the code of List, we implement Stack by inheriting List To let Stack access private member head, we make Stack as a friend of List
class List { public: List() { head = NULL; } ~List();
// constructor // destructor
bool empty() { return head == NULL; } Node* insertNode(int index, double x); int deleteNode(double x); int searchNode(double x); void printList(void); private: Node* head; friend class Stack; };
13
class Stack : public List { from List public: Stack() {} ~Stack() {} double top() { if (head == NULL) { cout << "Error: the stack is empty." << endl; return -1; } else return head->data; } void push(const double x) { InsertNode(0, x); } double pop() { if (head == NULL) { cout << "Error: the stack is empty." << endl; return -1; } else { double val = head->data; DeleteNode(val); Note: the stack return val; } implementation }
void printStack() { printList(); }
};
based on a linked list will never be full.
14
Stack using arrays
class Stack { public: Stack(int size = 10); ~Stack() { delete [] values; } bool empty() { return top == -1; } void push(const double x); double pop(); bool full() { return top == maxTop; } double top(); void print(); private: int maxTop; // max stack size = size - 1 int top; // current top of stack double* values; // element array }; // constructor // destructor
15
Attributes of Stack
maxTop: the max size of stack top: the index of the top element of stack values: point to an array which stores elements of stack
Operations of Stack
empty: return true if stack is empty, return false otherwise full: return true if stack is full, return false otherwise top: return the element at the top of stack push: add an element to the top of stack pop: delete the element at the top of stack print: print all the data in the stack
16
Stack constructor
Allocate a stack array of size. By default, size = 10. Initially top is set to -1. It means the stack is empty. When the stack is full, top will have its maximum value, i.e.
size 1.
Stack::Stack(int size /*= 10*/) { values = new double[size]; top = -1; maxTop = size - 1; }
Although the constructor dynamically allocates the stack array, the stack is still static. The size is fixed after the initialization.
17
void
push(const double x);
Push an element onto the stack Note top always represents the index of the top element. After pushing an element, increment top.
void Stack::push(const double x) { if (full()) // if stack is full, print error cout << "Error: the stack is full." << endl; else values[++top] = x; }
18
double
pop()
Pop and return the element at the top of the stack Dont forgot to decrement top
double Stack::pop() { if (empty()) { //if stack is empty, print error cout << "Error: the stack is empty." << endl; return -1; } else { return values[top--]; } }
19
double
top()
Return the top element of the stack Unlike pop, this function does not remove the top element
double Stack::top() { if (empty()) { cout << "Error: the stack is empty." << endl; return -1; } else return values[top]; }
20
void
print()
Print all the elements
void Stack::print() { cout << "top -->"; for (int i = top; i >= 0; i--) cout << "\t|\t" << values[i] << "\t|" << endl; cout << "\t|---------------|" << endl; }
21
Stack Application: Balancing Symbols
To
check that every right brace, bracket, and parentheses must correspond to its left counterpart
e.g. [( )] is legal, but [( ] ) is illegal
How?
Need to memorize Use a counter, several counters, each for a type of parenthesis
22
Balancing Symbols using a stack
Algorithm
(1) Make an empty stack. (2) Read characters until end of file
i. If the character is an opening symbol, push it onto the stack ii. If it is a closing symbol, then if the stack is empty, report an error iii. Otherwise, pop the stack. If the symbol popped is not the corresponding opening symbol, then report an error
(3) At end of file, if the stack is not empty, report an error
23
Stack Application: postfix, infix expressions and calculator
expressions
Postfix
abc*+de*f+g*+ Operands are in a stack
Convert
infix to postfix
a+b*c+(d*e+f)*g a b c * + d e * f + g * + Operators are in a stack
Calculator
Adding more operators
24
Stack Application: function calls and recursion
Take
the example of factorial! And run it.
#include <iostream> using namespace std;
int fac(int n){ int product; if(n <= 1) product = 1; else product = n * fac(n-1); return product; }
void main(){ int number; cout << "Enter a positive integer : " << endl;; cin >> number; cout << fac(number) << endl; }
25
Stack Application: function calls and recursion
Take
the example of factorial! And run it.
#include <iostream> using namespace std;
int fac(int n){ int product; if(n <= 1) product = 1; else product = n * fac(n-1); return product; }
void main(){ int number; cout << "Enter a positive integer : " << endl;; cin >> number; cout << fac(number) << endl; }
26
Tracing the program Assume the number typed is 3.
fac(3): 3<=1 ? No. product3 = 3*fac(2) fac(2): 2<=1 ? No. product2 = 2*fac(1) fac(1): 1<=1 ? Yes. return 1 has the final returned value 6
product3=3*2=6, return 6,
product2=2*1=2, return 2,
27
Call is to push and return is to pop!
top fac(1) fac(2) fac(3) prod1=1 prod2=2*fac(1) prod3=3*fac(2)
28
Static and dynamic objects
dynamic
is relative static variables are from a Stack dynamic variables are from a heap (seen later )
29
Array versus linked list implementations
push,
pop, top are all constant-time operations in both array and linked list implementation
For array implementation, the operations are performed in very fast constant time
30
Queue Overview
Queue
ADT Basic operations of queue
Enqueuing, dequeuing etc.
Implementation
of queue
Linked list Array
31
Queue
A
queue is also a list. However, insertion is done at one end, while deletion is performed at the other end.
It
is First In, First Out (FIFO) order.
Like customers standing in a check-out line in a store, the first customer in is the first customer served.
32
Enqueue and Dequeue
Primary
queue operations: Enqueue and Dequeue Like check-out lines in a store, a queue has a front and a rear. Enqueue insert an element at the rear of the queue Dequeue remove an element from the front of the queue
Remove (Dequeue)
front
rear
Insert (Enqueue)
33
Implementation of Queue
Just
as stacks can be implemented as arrays or linked lists, so with queues. Dynamic queues have the same advantages over static queues as dynamic stacks have over static stacks
34
Queue ADT
class Queue { public: Queue(); Queue(Queue& queue); ~Queue(); bool empty(); void enqueue(double x); double dequeue();
physical constructor/destructor
logical constructor/destructor
void print(void); // bool full(); // optional
private: };
35
int main(void) { Queue queue; cout << "Enqueue 5 items." << endl; for (int x = 0; x < 5; x++) queue.enqueue(x); cout << "Now attempting to enqueue again..." << endl; queue.enqueue(5); queue.print(); double value; value=queue.dequeue(); cout << "Retrieved element = " << value << endl; queue.print(); queue.enqueue(7); queue.print(); return 0; }
Using Queue
36
Queue using linked lists
Struct Node { double data; Node* next; } class Queue { public: Queue(); Queue(Queue& queue); ~Queue(); bool empty(); void enqueue(double x); double dequeue(); // bool full(); // optional void print(void);
private: Node* front; Node* rear; int counter; }; // pointer to front node // pointer to last node // number of elements
37
Implementation of some online member functions
class Queue { public: Queue() { // constructor front = rear = NULL; counter = 0; } ~Queue() { // destructor double value; while (!empty()) dequeue(value); } bool empty() { if (counter) return false; else return true; } void enqueue(double x); double dequeue(); // bool full() {return false;}; void print(void); private: Node* front; Node* rear; int counter; }; // pointer to front node // pointer to last node // number of elements, not compulsary
38
Enqueue (addEnd)
void Queue::enqueue(double x) {
Node* newNode = new Node; newNode->data = x; newNode->next = NULL; if (empty()) { front = newNode; } else { rear->next = newNode; } rear = newNode; counter++; }
rear
5
rear
5
newNode
39
Dequeue
(deleteHead)
double Queue::dequeue() { double x; if (empty()) { cout << "Error: the queue is empty." << endl; exit(1); // return false; } else { x = front->data; Node* nextNode = front->next; delete front; front = nextNode; front counter--; } 3 8 5 return x; }
front
40
Printing all the elements
void Queue::print() { cout << "front -->"; Node* currNode = front; for (int i = 0; i < counter; i++) { if (i == 0) cout << "\t"; else cout << "\t\t"; cout << currNode->data; if (i != counter - 1) cout << endl; else cout << "\t<-- rear" << endl; currNode = currNode->next; } }
41
Queue using Arrays
There
are several different algorithms to implement Enqueue and Dequeue Nave way
When enqueuing, the front index is always fixed and the rear index moves forward in the array.
rear
rear
rear
3 front Enqueue(3)
3 front
3 front
Enqueue(6)
Enqueue(9)
42
Nave
way (contd)
When dequeuing, the front index is fixed, and the element at the front the queue is removed. Move all the elements after it by one position. (Inefficient!!!)
rear rear rear = -1
6 front
9 front front Dequeue()
Dequeue()
Dequeue()
43
better way
When enqueued, the rear index moves forward. When dequeued, the front index also moves forward by one element
(front) XXXXOOOOO OXXXXOOOO OOXXXXXOO OOOOXXXXX
(rear) (after 1 dequeue, and 1 enqueue) (after another dequeue, and 2 enqueues) (after 2 more dequeues, and 2 enqueues)
The problem here is that the rear index cannot move beyond the last element in the array.
44
Using Circular Arrays
Using
a circular array When an element moves past the end of a circular array, it wraps around to the beginning, e.g.
OOOOO7963 4OOOO7963 (after Enqueue(4))
How
to detect an empty or full queue, using a circular array algorithm?
Use a counter of the number of elements in the queue.
45
class Queue { public: Queue(int size = 10); // constructor Queue(Queue& queue); // not necessary! ~Queue() { delete [] values; } // destructor bool empty(void); void enqueue(double x); // or bool enqueue(); double dequeue(); bool full(); void print(void); private: int front; int rear; int counter; int maxSize; double* values; }; // front index // rear index // number of elements // size of array queue // element array
full() is not essential, can be embedded
46
Attributes of Queue
front/rear: front/rear index counter: number of elements in the queue maxSize: capacity of the queue values: point to an array which stores elements of the queue
empty: return true if queue is empty, return false otherwise full: return true if queue is full, return false otherwise enqueue: add an element to the rear of queue dequeue: delete the element at the front of queue print: print all the data
Operations of Queue
47
Queue constructor
Queue(int
size = 10)
Allocate a queue array of size. By default, size = 10. front is set to 0, pointing to the first element of the array rear is set to -1. The queue is empty initially.
Queue::Queue(int size /* = 10 */) { values = new double[size]; maxSize = size; front = 0; rear = -1; counter = 0; }
48
Empty & Full
Since
we keep track of the number of elements that are actually in the queue: counter, it is easy to check if the queue is empty or full.
bool Queue::empty() { if (counter==0) return else return } bool Queue::full() { if (counter < maxSize) else }
true; false;
return false; return true;
49
Enqueue
Or bool if you want
void Queue::enqueue(double x) { if (full()) { cout << "Error: the queue is full." << endl; exit(1); // return false; } else { // calculate the new rear position (circular) rear = (rear + 1) % maxSize; // insert new item values[rear] = x; // update counter counter++; // return true; } }
50
Dequeue
double Queue::dequeue() { double x; if (empty()) { cout << "Error: the queue is empty." << endl; exit(1); // return false; } else { // retrieve the front item x = values[front]; // move front front = (front + 1) % maxSize; // update counter counter--; // return true; } return x; }
51
Printing the elements
void Queue::print() { cout << "front -->"; for (int i = 0; i < counter; i++) { if (i == 0) cout << "\t"; else cout << "\t\t"; cout << values[(front + i) % maxSize]; if (i != counter - 1) cout << endl; else cout << "\t<-- rear" << endl; } }
52
int main(void) { Queue queue; cout << "Enqueue 5 items." << endl; for (int x = 0; x < 5; x++) queue.enqueue(x); cout << "Now attempting to enqueue again..." << endl; queue.enqueue(5); queue.print(); double value; value=queue.dequeue(); cout << "Retrieved element = " << value << endl; queue.print(); queue.enqueue(7); queue.print(); return 0; }
Using Queue

Results
based on array
based on linked list
Queue implemented using linked list will be never full!
