LIST
Flexible data structure: grows and shrinks on demand. Elements can be accessed, inserted, or deleted at any position within

a list.
Lists can be concatenated or split into sub-lists. Mathematically, a list is a sequence of zero or more elements of a

given type. Represented by a comma separated sequence of elements a1,a2,an where n>=0 and each ai is of a given type.
n is the length of the list.

Features Of List
Can be linearly ordered according to their position on the list. Concatenation and splitting possible Main application areas are: => Information retrieval => Programming language translation => Programming language simulation

LIST OPERATIONS
INSERT(x, p,L) : Inserts x at position p in list L. Move elements at p and following positions to next higher positions. Insert x at position p in list L. If L is a1, a2, , an, then L becomes a1, a2, , ap-1, x, ap, , an . If p is END (L), then L becomes a1, a2, , an, x.

10/25/2012

CS 09 303 Data Structures - Module 2

END(L) : returns the last position of list L LOCATE(x, L) : returns the position of x on list L.
If x appears more than once, it returns the position of first occurrence of x. If x does not appear at all, then it returns END(L).

RETRIEVE(p,L) : returns element at position p on list L.


Result is undefined if p = END (L) or if L has no position p.

10/25/2012

CS 09 303 Data Structures - Module 2

DELETE(p, L) : deletes the element at position p of list L.


If list is a1,a2, , an, then the list L becomes a1, a2, ap-1, ap+1, ,an.

NEXT(p, L): returns position following p on list L. PREVIOUS(p, L):returns position preceding p on list L. MAKENULL(L) : Makes the list L empty and returns the position END(L). FIRST(L) : returns first position on list L. PRINTLIST(L) :prints elements of L in order of occurrence.

Array Implementation Of List


Elements are stored in contiguous cells of an array. Easily traversed Elements can be appended readily to the end of the list. Definition of LIST: is a record that contains 2 fields:
an array of elements with maximum required length an integer last : indicating position of the last list element in the array.

Pointer Implementation Of List: (LINKED LIST)


Use of special data structure - Linked List Singly-linked cells which use pointers to link successive list

elements are used here. Does not require contiguous memory for storage. Allocates memory dynamically Linked List is made up of cells, and each cell contains: Element of the list Pointer to next cell on the list If the list is a1,a2,an, the cell holding ai has a pointer to the cell holding ai+1, for i = 1, 2, n-1. Header holds no element but points to cell holding a1. The cell holding an has a nil pointer.

Applications of stack
Conversion from infix to postfix Rules 1. Parenthesize the expression starting from left to right 2. The operands associated with the operator having higher precedence will be parenthesized first. 3. The sub expression which has been converted to postfix is to be treated as single operand. 4. Once the expression is converted to postfix form, remove the parenthesis

Infix to postfix conversion algorithm


P =>postfix expression Q =>infix expression (1) Push ( onto stack and add ) to the end of Q. (2) Scan Q from left to right and repeat steps 3 to 6 for each element of Q until the stack is empty.

Make an empty stack. Read symbols until end of file is reached. If the symbol is an opening symbol, push it onto the stack. If it is a closing symbol, do the following: If the stack is empty, then report an error. Otherwise, pop the stack. If the symbol popped does not match the closing symbol, then report an error. At the end of the file, if the stack is not empty, then report an error.

Double-ended Queue (DEQUEUE)


Homogeneous list Insertion &deletion can be done at both ends. 2 types of dequeue: (1) Input restricted queue (insertion: rear end deletion: both ends) An input-restricted dequeue is one where deletion can be made from both ends, but insertion can only be made at one end. (2)Output restricted queue (insertion: both ends deletion: front end) An output-restricted dequeue is one where insertion can be made at both ends, but deletion can be made from one end only.

PRIORITY QUEUE
Collection of elements such that each element is assigned a priority number. Rules are: An element of higher priority is processed before any element of lower priority. Elements of same priority are processed according to the order in which they were added into the queue.

10/25/2012

CS 09 303 Data Structures - Module 2

186

Two types of priority queues


Ascending priority queue
Items are inserted arbitrarily and element with least priority is removed.

Descending priority queue


Items are inserted arbitrarily and element with highest priority is removed.

Implementation
Implementation of priority queue: (1) One way list representation (2) Multiple Queues (one for each priority - Array representation) (3) Maximum or minimum heap

One Way List Representation


Each node contains: INFO: Information field PRT : Priority number NEXT: Next pointer A node x precedes a node y in the list when x has higher priority than y or when both have same priority but x was inserted before y.

Insertion algorithm of one way list representation of priority queue


(1) Traverse the one way list until you find a node X

whose priority number exceeds N (item to be inserted).


(2) Insert ITEM N in front of node X. (3) If no such node is found, insert ITEM as the last element

of the list.

Deletion algorithm of one way list representation of priority queue


(1) Set ITEM := INFO[START] { This saves the data in the

first node }
(2) Delete first node from the list (3) Process ITEM (4) Exit

Array Implementation
As multiple queues. Multiple queues are defined in the same array queue[] of size n. Each queue i is allocated a predefined space bounded by array indices. A queue is maintained for each priority. In order to process an element of the priority queue, element from non-empty highest priority number queue is accessed.

Algorithm for polynomial addition (single variable)


1. Repeat upto step 3 while there are terms in both polynomials yet to be processed. 2. Obtain values for terms from each polynomial. 3. If the powers associated with the two terms are equal then If the sum of coefficients of both terms is not zero then Insert sum of the coefficients into the sum polynomial. Obtain the next terms from both polynomials.
