Stacks and queues

Dynamic linear data types (interface)

  • an abstraction of a collection of data organised "in a line" which supprts addition of new elements and the removal of (some) old elements
  • e.g., stacks and queues
  • the difference in the removal operation
    • stacks ⇒ (pop) LIFO
    • queues ⇒ (remove, offer, pull) FIFO
  • representation
    • array (preffered because of memory management)
    • linked list (seems more natural)
