I have a queue with some numbers for example 5,6,7,8 is in queue, 5 is q->front and 8 is q->rear.. Can I reverse them in queue but without using stacks?
回答1:
Of course! But it won't be as efficient.
Using a stack: O(N) time. O(1) memory.
Using an associative array: O(N) time. O(1) memory.
Using a fixed-size array: O(N) time. O(N) memory.
Using an extendable array: O(N) time. O(N) memory.
Using a queue: O(N^2) time. O(1) memory.
Using an associative array will use more time than using a stack, but the performance and memory usage of both will scale identically.
The following snippets show how each of those data structures can be used.
Stack:
# O(N) time. O(1) memory.
sub reverse_queue_using_stack {
my ($in_q) = @_;
my $stack = Stack->new();
while ( my ($item) = $in_q->dequeue() ) {
$stack->push($item);
}
my $out_q = Queue->new();
while ( my ($item) = $stack->pop() ) {
$out_q->enqueue($item);
}
return $out_q;
}
Associative array:
# O(N) time. O(1) memory.
sub reverse_queue_using_dict {
my ($in_q) = @_;
my $dict = Dictionary->new();
my $i = 0;
while ( my ($item) = $in_q->dequeue() ) {
$dict->set($i++, $item);
}
my $out_q = Queue->new();
while ($i--) {
$out_q->enqueue($dict->delete($i));
}
return $out_q;
}
Fixed-size array (and a queue if you can't get the size of a queue):
# O(N) time. O(N) memory.
sub reverse_queue_using_array {
my ($in_q) = @_;
my $count = 0;
my $queue = Queue->new();
while ( my ($item) = $in_q->dequeue() ) {
++$count;
$queue->enqueue($item);
}
my $array = Array->new($count);
for my $i (0..$count-1) {
$array->set($i, $queue->dequeue());
}
my $out_q = Queue->new();
for (1..$count) {
my $i = $count - $_;
$out_q->enqueue($array->get($i));
}
return $out_q;
}
Extendable array:
# O(N) time. O(N) memory.
sub reverse_queue_using_list {
my ($in_q) = @_;
my $list = List->new();
while ( my ($item) = $in_q->dequeue() ) {
$list->append($item);
}
my $count = $list->size();
my $out_q = Queue->new();
for (1..$count) {
my $i = $count - $_;
$out_q->enqueue($list->get($i));
}
return $out_q;
}
Queue:
# O(N^2) time. O(1) memory.
sub reverse_queue_using_queue {
my ($in_q) = @_;
my $queue = Queue->new();
my $out_q = Queue->new();
while (1) {
my ($tail) = $in_q->dequeue()
or last;
while ( my ($item) = $in_q->dequeue() ) {
$queue->enqueue($tail);
$tail = $item;
}
$out_q->enqueue($tail);
($in_q, $queue) = ($queue, $in_q);
}
return $out_q;
}
Tested using the following harness:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature qw( say );
# The implementation of these don't matter;
# if the problem can be solved using only the methods provided by these classes,
# the problem can be solved using any implementation of these classes.

回答2:
You could use the recursive stack to reverse a queue internally:
#include <queue>
void reverseQueue(queue<int> &q) {
if (!q.empty()) {
int front = q.front();
q.pop();
reverseQueue(q);
q.push(front);
}
}
