Q. Consider n elements that are equally distributed in k stacks. In each stack, elements of it are arranged in ascending order (min is at the top in each of the stack and then increasing downwards). Given a queue of size n in which we have to put all n elements in increasing order. What will be the time complexity of the best known algorithm?

Q. Following is C like pseudo code of a function that takes a Queue as an argument, and uses a stack S to do processing.

void fun(Queue *Q)
{
    Stack S;  // Say it creates an empty stack S
 
    // Run while Q is not empty
    while (!isEmpty(Q))
    {
        // deQueue an item from Q and push the dequeued item to S
        push(&S, deQueue(Q));
    }
 
    // Run while Stack S is not empty
    while (!isEmpty(&S))
    {
      // Pop an item from S and enqueue the poppped item to Q
      enQueue(Q, pop(&S));
    }
}

Q. A queue is implemented using an array such that ENQUEUE and DEQUEUE operations are performed efficiently. Which one of the following statements is CORRECT (n refers to the number of items in the queue)?

View solution

Q. Suppose you are given an implementation of a queue of integers. The operations that can be performed on the queue are:

i. isEmpty (Q) — returns true if the queue is empty, false otherwise.
ii. delete (Q) — deletes the element at the front of the queue and returns its value.
iii. insert (Q, i) — inserts the integer i at the rear of the queue.
Consider the following function:

void f (queue Q) {
int i ;
if (!isEmpty(Q)) {
i = delete(Q);
f(Q);
insert(Q, i);
}
}

What operation is performed by the above function f ?
