Queue is a particular kind of abstract data type or collection in which the entities in the collection are kept in order and the principal (or only) operations on the collection are the addition of entities to the rear terminal position, known as enqueue, and removal of entities from the front terminal position, known as dequeue. This makes the queue a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) data structure.
Stack is a particular kind of abstract data type or collection in which the principal (or only) operations on the collection are the addition of an entity to the collection, known as push and removal of an entity, known as pop. The relation between the push and pop operations is such that the stack is a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) data structure.
However a queue can be implemented using two stacks. Algorithm is as follows :
Create two stacks : 's' and 'tmp' as in the program given below For insert operation : if size of s = 0 then push value into s else push all popped elements from s to tmp push value into s push all popped elements from tmp to s For remove operation : if size of s = 0 then throw 'underflow' exception else return pop element from s
Here is the source code of the Java program to implement a queue using two stacks. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
