Stack from Queue

Task

Implement a Stack data structure using standard implementation of queue.

Notes

Stack data structure may be implemented with 2 queues. When implementing Stack through Queue there is a tradeoff. We only can make 1 of Stack operations effective - Push or Pop.

When having expensive Push method - we enqueue() an item to 1 queue and then dequeue() all values from the second queue into the first one. Then swap queues. This makes sure that relevant top stays always in front of the first queue. Pop operation then can be simple dequeue() from the first queue.

When having expensive Pop method same twist happens in Pop method and Push allows simple enqueue().

make helps generate main and test binaries to run tests or interactive main program.

Targets:

  • make build
  • make run
  • make test
  • make clean
