![]() And we'll be very disciplined in our use of this style. Again, this is a modular programming style that's enabled by object oriented programming languages, such as Java. It also allows us to focus on performance when appropriate. So this allows us to create modular, reusable libraries of algorithms and data structures that we can use to build more complicated algorithms and data structures. In that way, many clients can reuse the same implementation. ![]() All it's supposed to do is implement those operations. The implementation, on the other hand, can't know the details of the client needs. The client can have many different implementations from which to choose, but the client code should only perform the basic operations. So when we have these types of data structures and data types that are precisely defined, like stacks and queues and so forth, what we want to do is completely separate the details of the implementation from the client. The idea is to completely separate the interface and the implementation. ![]() And that's going to be a discipline that we're going to follow carefully throughout this course. Our sub text today is all about modular programming. So we're going to take a look today at how to implement these things. And that's also call the FIFO discipline, first in, first out. In those operations to distinguish them, we call NQ to insert an item and DQ to remove an item. For queue, we examine the item least recently added. That's also called the LIFO discipline, last in, first out. The terminology that we use is pushed to in certain items and pop to remove the item most recently added. For the stack, we take out the item that was most recently added. The key is, when it comes to removing an item, which item do we remove? The two fundamental classic data structures for this, the stack and the queue, differ in the way in which the item to be removed is chosen. Now for most of these, the intent is very clear. We want to add something to the collection, maybe remove something from the collection and iterate through the objects in a collection, performing some operation on them, and of course test if it's empty. The idea is that in many applications, we have collections of objects that we want to maintain and the operations are very simple. You may be somewhat familiar with these, but today we're going to take a careful and close look at them. Today we're going to talk about algorithms and data structures for implementing some fundamental data types called bags, queues, and stacks. The implemented Deque interface provides queue-like methods for retrieving, adding, and deleting elements: LinkedList list = new LinkedList() ĪssertThat(list.poll()).isEqualTo("Marko") ĪssertThat(list).hasSize(1) 4.1.Welcome back. This list implementation also offers methods for removing elements from the beginning or at the end of the list: LinkedList list = new LinkedList(Arrays.asList("Daniel", "Marko", "David")) ĪssertThat(list).containsExactly("Marko") Unlike ArrayList, when we store data in a LinkedList, every element maintains a link to the previous one.īesides standard List insertion methods, LinkedList supports additional methods that can add an element at the beginning or the end of the list: LinkedList list = new LinkedList() ĪssertThat(list.getLast()).isEqualTo("Daniel") Implementing both the List and Deque (an extension of Queue) interfaces. LinkedList is a doubly-linked list implementation.
