Static Data Structure | Has fixed size that cannot be changed whilst the program is running (i.e. during runtime) |
Static Data Structure Example | DIM names(1 to 100) AS String (set up a data structure to store 100 names) Or A Record Structure Or A two dimensional array |
Static Data Structure Benefits | Easier to program since storage requirements know in advance Allows direct(random) access to data Compiler can allocate space during compilation Easier to check for Overflow |
Dynamic Data Structure | Size can increase and decrease whilst the program is running (i.e. during runtime) |
Static Data Structure Drawbacks | Can waste a lot of memory space Programmer has to estimate space required |
Dynamic Data Structure Examples | Queue Stack Binary Tree Linked List |
Dynamic Data Structure Benefits | Makes efficient use of memory space Storage no longer required can be returned to the system to be used for other purposes |
Dynamic Data Structure Drawbacks | More difficult to program Takes longer to implement searches E.g. Linked List only allows serial searches |
The Heap | Area of memory used to handle dynamic data structures |
Queue FIFO | First in First Out type data structure |
Queue Variables | No in Queue Front Rear Max Value for Queue |
Remove Data from a Queue (DeQueue) | Check for Empty Queue(report error) Remove data pointed by front pointer Move front pointer to locate the previous item |
Stack LIFO | Last In First Out type data structure |
Add data to a Queue (EnQueue) | Check for Full Queue (report error) Allocate memory for new node if not empty Move rear pointer to new item Insert new item at end of queue |
Push and Pop | Push items onto a Stack Pop items off a stack |
Stack Variables | Top Max Number in Stack |
Add data to Stack (Push) | Check if Stack is full (report error) Increment stack pointer Add data item at pointer |
Remove item from Stack (Pop) | Check Stack is Empty (report error) Output data (stack pointer) Decrement stack pointer |
Circular Queue | Rear of Queue linked to Front of Queue More efficient use of Space If Front = Rear then Queue is Empty |
Reverse items in a Queue | Remove items from the queue and push onto a stack Pop items from a stack into a queue Items will now be reversed |
What happens when a stack is full? | An overflow exception occurs |
In a queue, if the front and rear pointers are at the same location what does this mean? | The queue is empty |
What happens if you try and remove an item from an empty stack? | Stack underflow occurs |
Where is an item removed from a queue? | The front |
Where is an item removed from a stack? | The top |
Where is an item added to a queue? | The rear |
What is a Dynamic structure memory benefit | Allocated memory cannot be returned to the system for other uses |
What does a programmer have to do to implement a static data structure? | Estimate the amount of memory to allocate |
