描述
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:
1 | MyCircularQueue circularQueue = new MycircularQueue(3); // set the size to be 3 |
Note:
- All values will be in the range of [0, 1000].
- The number of operations will be in the range of [1, 1000].
- Please do not use the built-in Queue library.

实现单向的先进先出队列。类似的问题还有 641. Design Circular Deque,这道题实现了环形的结构,可以作为那道题的补充。
