Understanding LIFO vs FIFO data structures with implementations and use cases for stacks and queues.
Stack vs Queue Comparison
Stack (LIFO - Last In, First Out)
Operations:
push()
- Add element to toppop()
- Remove element from toppeek()/top()
- View top elementisEmpty()
- Check if empty
Use Cases:
- Function call management
- Expression evaluation
- Undo operations
- Browser history
Queue (FIFO - First In, First Out)
Operations:
enqueue()
- Add element to reardequeue()
- Remove element from frontfront()
- View front elementisEmpty()
- Check if empty
Use Cases:
- Process scheduling
- BFS traversal
- Print queue
- Handling requests in web servers
