On the other hand, if there are more number of elements to be stored in the stack then, we can’t be able to change the size of the array to increase its capacity, so that it can accommodate new elements. Now if the number of elements to be sorted is very less in the stack the statically allocated memory will be wasted. Since an array (for implementing stack) is declared before the start of the operation (at program design time). Additionally, static implementation is not very efficient regarding memory utilization. Static implementation is though an effortless technique but is not a flexible way of creation, as the declaration of the size of the stack has to be done during program design, after that the size cannot be varied.
Static implementation uses arrays to create a stack.
In contrast, stack does not have variants.
Queue has variants like circular queue, priority queue, doubly ended queue, etc. Stack implementation is easier whereas Queue implementation is tricky. Stack performs two operations known as push and pop while in Queue its known as enqueue and dequeue. But queue uses two pointers to refer front and the rear end of the queue. As Stack have only one open end that is the reason for using only one pointer to refer to the top of the stack. On the contrary, two different ends are used in the queue to insert and delete the elements. In a stack, the same end is used to insert and delete the elements. Stack follows LIFO mechanism on the other hand Queue follows FIFO mechanism to add and remove elements. This waiting queue can be thought of as a queue. In our day to day life we come across many situations where we out to wait for the desired service, there we have to get into waiting line for our turn to get serviced. Similarly, deletion of the existing elements takes place at the other end called the Front-end, and it is logically a First in first out (FIFO) type of list. The addition of new elements takes place at one end called rear end. It is a collection of similar type of elements. Definition of QueueĪ queue is a linear data structure comes in the category of the non-primitive type. This is what is called popping, and similarly, if you want to preserve some biscuits for some time later, you will put them back into the pack through the same torn end is called pushing. If you assume, only one side of the cover is torn, and biscuits are taken out one by one. Some of you may eat biscuits (or Poppins). Note that the element often accessed in the stack is the topmost element, whereas the last available element is in the bottom of the stack. That is the reason why stack is called Last-in-First-out (LIFO) type of list. As all the deletion and insertion in a stack is done from the top of the stack, the last element added will be the first to be removed from the stack. It is an ordered list where the new item is added and existing element is deleted from only one end, called as the top of the stack (TOS). It has variants like circular queue, priority queue, doubly ended queue.Ī Stack is a non-primitive linear data structure. One end is used for insertion, i.e., rear end and another end is used for deletion of elements, i.e., front end. Same end is used to insert and delete elements. Similarly, The queue is a queue for Theatre tickets where the person standing in the first place, i.e., front of the queue will be served first and the new person arriving will appear in the back of the queue (rear end of the queue). For example, the stack is a stack of CD’s where you can take out and put in CD through the top of the stack of CDs. Stack and queue are the data structures used for storing data elements and are actually based on some real world equivalent. Stack has only one end open for pushing and popping the data elements on the other hand Queue has both ends open for enqueuing and dequeuing the data elements.
