Amortize cost analyse

2 New Member
Hi,

I'm really stuck with this analyse of amortize cost exercise :
---------------
Show how to implement a queue with two stacks such that both Enqueue and Dequeue
takes amortized time
O(1)

Can you help me please?

Thanks

A stack is a queue. Particularly, it is a LIFO (last-in-first-out) queue.

You PUSH onto the top of the stack. This is the enqueue.

You POP from the top of the stack. This is the dequeue.

You PEEK to view the top of the stack, leaving the element there.

So if you want to calculate A+B you use two stacks. An operand stack for the values A and B and an operator stack for the +.

1) push A onto the operand stack
2) push + onto the operator stack
3) push B onto the operand stack
Then:
4) pop the + from the operator stack.
5) Since + needs two operands, pop two values from the operand stack.
6) add the values
7) push the sum onto the operand stack.
8) at this point the operator stack is empty and the sum of A and B is the top entry in the operand stack.

You can use this scheme with Polish notation also.

On the local radio station here in the Czech they announced simple contest: If listeners will hear Elton John's Sacrifice followed immediately by Madonna's Frozen they have to call to the broadcasting. First caller will get some price. I am just thinking about the concept how to analyse music stream form the PC radio card to get the signal: "first tones of Frozen were played after Sacrifice, call to the studio" :-)

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
