Implement Stack using Two Queues

Question

A similar question was asked earlier there, but the question here is the reverse of it, using two queues as a stack. The question...

Given two queues with their sta

Answer 1

Q1 = [10, 15, 20, 25, 30]
Q2 = []

exp:
{   
    dequeue n-1 element from Q1 and enqueue into Q2: Q2 == [10, 15, 20, 25]

    now Q1 dequeue gives "30" that inserted last and working as stack
}

swap Q1 and Q2 then GOTO exp

Answer 5

here is the complete working code in c# :

It has been implemented with Single Queue,

push:

1. add new element.
2. Remove elements from Queue (totalsize-1) times and add back to the Queue

pop:

normal remove

Answer 6

Can we just use one queue to implement a stack? I can use two queues, but considering single queue would be more efficient. Here is the code:

    public void Push(T val)
    {
        queLower.Enqueue(val);
    }

    public  T Pop()
    {

        if (queLower.Count == 0 )
        {
            Console.Write("Stack is empty!");
            return default(T);

         }
        if (queLower.Count > 0)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < queLower.Count - 1;i++ )
            {
                queLower.Enqueue(queLower.Dequeue ());
           }
                    }

        return queLower.Dequeue();

    }
