Design Circular Queue
Design your implementation of the circular queue. The circular queue is a linear data structure in which the operations are performed based on FIFO (First In First Out) principle and the last position is connected back to the first position to make a circle. It is also called "Ring Buffer".
One of the benefits of the circular queue is that we can make use of the spaces in front of the queue. In a normal queue, once the queue becomes full, we cannot insert the next element even if there is a space in front of the queue. But using the circular queue, we can use the space to store new values.
Your implementation should support following operations:
MyCircularQueue(k): Constructor, set the size of the queue to be k.Front: Get the front item from the queue. If the queue is empty, return -1.Rear: Get the last item from the queue. If the queue is empty, return -1.enQueue(value): Insert an element into the circular queue. Return true if the operation is successful.deQueue(): Delete an element from the circular queue. Return true if the operation is successful.isEmpty(): Checks whether the circular queue is empty or not.isFull(): Checks whether the circular queue is full or not.
Example:
MyCircularQueue circularQueue = new MycircularQueue(3); // set the size to be 3
circularQueue.enQueue(1); // return true
circularQueue.enQueue(2); // return true
circularQueue.enQueue(3); // return true
circularQueue.enQueue(4); // return false, the queue is full
circularQueue.Rear(); // return 3
circularQueue.isFull(); // return true
circularQueue.deQueue(); // return true
circularQueue.enQueue(4); // return true
circularQueue.Rear(); // return 4Note:
All values will be in the range of [0, 1000].
The number of operations will be in the range of [1, 1000].
Please do not use the built-in Queue library.
Analysis
Array 数组实现:
重点在于确定循环队列空和满的情况,以及确定下一个rear和front的下标位置。
设定一个 int length 可以记录当前queue的元素个数,和循环队列的大小比较就可以得到是否满,检查length是否为0,则检测队列是否为空。
对于rear和front的下标位置有两种可行思路:
front代表queue的头部元素位置,rear代表queue的尾部元素位置;初始化
rear=-1, front=0front代表queue的头部元素位置,rear代表queue的尾部可以填充新元素的位置;初始化时:
rear=0, front=0
Tricky之处在于对于1,读取Front()和Rear()可以直接用front和rear作为下标,但是对于2,读取Rear()时,需要计算下标:(rear + q.length - 1) % q.length
Solution
Array Implementation 1 - init front = 0, rear = -1
Array Implementation 2 - init front = 0, rear = 0
