Stacks Queues Study Guide

Algorithms for Operations

Linked Stack Algorithms

push(e) method:

• list.addFront(e)

pop() method:

• list.removeFront()

peek() method:

• list.first()

Linked Queue Algorithms

enqueue(e):

• list.addBack()

dequeue():

• list.removeFront()

peek:

• list.first()

Linked Deque

This uses a doubly linked list (DLL, or dll, below).

addFront:

• dll.addFront()

add/addBack();

• dll.addBack()

removeFront()/remove():

• dll.removeFront()

removeBack:

• dll.removeBack()
