Chapter 25.6, Problem 25.6.3CP

Explanation of Solution

“java.util.PriorityQueue” class:

This is an unbounded priority queue based on a priority heap. It does not allow null elements. In priority queue the elements are ordered according to the ordinary order.

Given statement in Listing 25.9:

  • In the given statement initially create the single node tree and added to the heap.
  • In every iteration, the “while” condition set the two smallest weight which are removed from the heap and are gathered to form a big tree, then the new tree is added to the heap...

What is the best way to implement a stack or a queue so that it can hold an arbitrary number of elements? Select one: a. Using an array, and throwing an exception when the stack or queue is full. b. By creating a bigger array when the stack or queue is full, and copying the elements from the original array. c. Using linked lists to store the collection of elements.
Could you help explain the difference between the restricted version of the stack and the unbounded version of the stack? Thank you for your time.
Students might find it difficult to implement stack using array or linked list or both. For example, in array based implementation, students have to check for stack overflow and underflow exceptions. Also, in case of linked list based implementation, only stack underflow condition needs to be checked. Solutions: Students have to create class for stack related exceptions. Two different classes can be declared, one for overflow and one for underflow. Both classes need to extend the Exception class of Java. Put stack’s push and pop methods inside a try-catch block and handle the exceptions. It can get difficult or confusing to check all conditions of parenthesis matching. Because, when a closing parenthesis/curly brace/bracket is encountered one needs to make sure the correct type of opening parenthesis/curly brace/bracket are popped from the stack   Solutions: Students need to write if-else if checking for each type of parenthesis/curly brace/bracket separately when an opening…
