Queue in Data Structure

 

Queue in Data Structure

The queue data structure is linear. It follows the FIFO approach i.e. First In First Out or Last In Last Out.
In the
queue, the order of insertion is the same as the order of deletion of elements because of the FIFO approach.

Queues are mostly used whenever there is a single resource and multiple users want to use that resource. For example, in threads and CPU scheduling algorithms.

A data structure queue is analogous to a queue in real life. For example, people waiting in a queue to buy movie tickets.

Representation of a Queue

Just like a stack, the queue is also an abstract data type but it follows the FIFO approach. In the queue, we always remove the least recently added element.

A queue is open at both ends, unlike a stack. Thus we perform deletion and insertion operations at two different ends in a queue.The two ends of the queue are the Front and Rear respectively.

Front points to the index of the queue from where we can delete an element. Rear points to that index of the queue from where we insert elements.

We can represent the queue as follows:


Types of Queue

There are various types of queue data structures such as:
1. Linear queue
2. Circular queue
3. Deque
4. Priority queue

Let us see each of them in detail now:

1. Linear queue

A linear queue is a simple queue in which insertion occurs at one end and deletion occurs at the other end.
In a linear queue, we are sometimes not able to utilize memory effectively. This is because insertion can be performed only at the rear end.

Basic operations on Linear Queue:

The basic operations that we can perform on a queue are:

a. en queue (): To insert an element into the queue.

b. dequeue(): To delete an element from a queue.

c. peek(): To print/display the element at the front without deleting it.

d. isfull(): To check if the queue is full or not.

e. isempty(): To check if the queue is empty or not.

Out of the given operations, the first two operations are the most important. The rest three are used to improve the efficiency of the first two operations while implementation.

Difference between loc() and iloc() in Pandas DataFrame

  Difference between loc() and iloc() in Pandas DataFrame Pandas library of python is very useful for the manipulation of mathematical data and is widely used in the field of machine learning. It comprises many methods for its proper functioning.  loc()  and  iloc()  are one of those methods. These are used in slicing data from the Pandas DataFrame. They help in the convenient selection of data from the DataFrame. They are used in filtering the data according to some conditions. The working of both of these methods is explained in the sample dataset of cars. loc()  :  loc()  is label-based data selecting method which means that we have to pass the name of the row or column which we want to select. This method includes the last element of the range passed in it, unlike  iloc() .  loc()   can accept the boolean data unlike  iloc()  .  iloc() :  iloc( )  is an indexed-based selecting method which means that we ...

What is the process of Data Analysis?

 Data analysis   is the process of collecting, cleansing, interpreting, transforming and modeling data to gather insights and generate reports to gain business profits. Refer to the image below to know the various steps involved in the process. Fig 1:  Process of  Data Analysis – Data Analyst Interview Questions Collect Data:  The data gets collected from various sources and is stored so that it can be cleaned and prepared. In this step, all the missing values and outliers are removed. Analyse Data:  Once the data is ready, the next step is to analyze the data. A model is run repeatedly for improvements. Then, the model is validated to check whether it meets the business requirements. Create Reports:  Finally, the model is implemented, and then reports thus generated are passed onto the stakeholders.
