Given an integer k and a queue of integers, we need to reverse the order of the first k elements of the queue, leaving the other elements in the same relative order.
Only following standard operations are allowed on queue.
- enqueue(x) : Add an item x to rear of queue
- dequeue() : Remove an item from front of queue
- size(( : Returns number of elements in queue.
- front() : Finds front item.
Examples:
Input : Q = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100] k = 5 Output : Q = [50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100] Input : Q = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100] k = 4 Output : Q = [40, 30, 20, 10, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100]
The idea is to use an auxiliary stack.
1) Create an empty stack.
2) One by one dequeue items from given queue and push the dequeued items to stack.
3) Enqueue the contents of stack at the back of the queue
4) Reverse the whole queue.
C++
// C++ program to reverse first k elements of a queue. #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; /* Function to reverse the first K elements of the Queue */ void reverseQueueFirstKElements( int k, queue< int >& Queue) { if (Queue.empty() == true || k > Queue.size()) return ; if (k <= 0) return ; stack< int > Stack; /* Push the first K elements into a Stack*/ for ( int i = 0; i < k; i++) { Stack.push(Queue.front()); Queue.pop(); } /* Enqueue the contents of stack at the back of the queue*/ while (!Stack.empty()) { Queue.push(Stack.top()); Stack.pop(); } /* Remove the remaining elements and enqueue them at the end of the Queue*/ for ( int i = 0; i < Queue.size() - k; i++) { Queue.push(Queue.front()); Queue.pop(); } } /* Utility Function to print the Queue */ void Print(queue< int >& Queue) { while (!Queue.empty()) { cout << Queue.front() << " " ; Queue.pop(); } } // Driver code int main() { queue< int > Queue; Queue.push(10); Queue.push(20); Queue.push(30); Queue.push(40); Queue.push(50); Queue.push(60); Queue.push(70); Queue.push(80); Queue.push(90); Queue.push(100); int k = 5; reverseQueueFirstKElements(k, Queue); Print(Queue); } |
