Design your implementation of the circular queue. The circular queue is a linear data structure in which the operations are performed based on FIFO (First In First Out) principle and the last position is connected back to the first position to make a circle. It is also called "Ring Buffer".
One of the benefits of the circular queue is that we can make use of the spaces in front of the queue. In a normal queue, once the queue becomes full, we cannot insert the next element even if there is a space in front of the queue. But using the circular queue, we can use the space to store new values.
Your implementation should support following operations:
MyCircularQueue(k): Constructor, set the size of the queue to be k.Front: Get the front item from the queue. If the queue is empty, return -1.
Rear: Get the last item from the queue. If the queue is empty, return -1.
enQueue(value): Insert an element into the circular queue. Return true if
the operation is successful.
deQueue(): Delete an element from the circular queue. Return true if the
operation is successful.
isEmpty(): Checks whether the circular queue is empty or not.isFull(): Checks whether the circular queue is full or not.
Example:
MyCircularQueue circularQueue = new MyCircularQueue(3); // set the size to be 3 circularQueue.enQueue(1); // return true circularQueue.enQueue(2); // return true circularQueue.enQueue(3); // return true circularQueue.enQueue(4); // return false, the queue is full circularQueue.Rear(); // return 3 circularQueue.isFull(); // return true circularQueue.deQueue(); // return true circularQueue.enQueue(4); // return true circularQueue.Rear(); // return 4
