DS & A (Algorithm Analysis - Best, Worst and Average Case)

|  CHAPTER 5  | Note: If it's your first time visiting this website I strongly recommend you to read the previous chapter before reading this chapter. Till now we learned about what Data Structures and Algorithms are, some basic terminologies and a few  concepts  of Algorithm analysis.   And continuing our ongoing journey of Data Structures and Algorithms, today we will discuss the Best Case, Average Case and Worst Case of an algorithm. Algorithm Case Analysis In the last chapter, we learned that every algorithm has running time[T(n)] and a growth rate. But that's not the end of it, an algorithm's running time and growth rate are not the only factors that we should consider while designing an algorithm. For some algorithms, different inputs result in different running time. And that brings forth the necessity of the concept of Best, Average, and Worst Case of algorithms. Example Consider we have four boxes tagged 1,2,3 & 4, and the boxes con

DS & A(Queue)

|  CHAPTER 14  | In this chapter, our topic of discussion will be the "Queue" Data Structure. But, before we get started, I would recommend you to read the previous chapters on Data Structures & Algorithms  (especially the chapters on Array List , Linked List , Array Stack , and Linked Stack ), that is in case it's your first time visiting my blog. Queue: Just like Stacks, Queues also are a restricted version of List but with a few minor differences compared to Stack. The following are some of the notable characteristics of a Queue: Data can only be inserted from the rear/back. Data insertion is referred to as  ENQUEUE . Data can only be deleted from the front. Data deletion is referred to as  DEQUEUE . Alternatively,  ENQUEUE  and  DEQUEUE  should always be executed on the opposite ends of the Queue. A Queue follows the  FIFO (First In First Out)   principle. The first and the last elements are referred to as FRONT and REAR respectively.
