I have been trying to figure this out for an age, but to no avail. I think I must have several problems with my code that I just can't see. I have implemented this using a slightly more complex way before, and was writing it in a simpler form to help a friend in the year below me who is struggling, but I've just ended up getting myself in a muddle!
The code is as follows :
public class ArrayBasedDeque<EltType> implements Deque<EltType> {
private final int CAPACITY = 10;
private int capacity;
private int end;
private EltType deque[];
public ArrayBasedDeque() {
this.capacity = CAPACITY;
deque = (EltType[]) (new Object[capacity]);
}
public EltType first() {
return deque[0];
}
public EltType last() {
return deque[end];
}
public boolean isEmpty() {
return end == 0;
}
public int size() {
return deque.length;
}
public boolean isFull() {
int curSize = size();
return curSize >= capacity;
}
public void insertFirst(EltType first) {
if(!isEmpty()) {
EltType[] tempArray;
tempArray = (EltType[]) new Object[capacity+1];
for (int i=0;i<deque.length;i++) {
tempArray[i+1] = deque[i];
}
deque = tempArray;
}
deque[0] = first;
end++;
}
public void insertLast(EltType last) {
if (isFull()){
EltType[] tempArray;
tempArray = (EltType[]) new Object[CAPACITY+1];
for (int i=0;i<deque.length;i++) {
tempArray[i] = deque[i];
}
}
deque[end] = last;
end++;
}
public EltType removeFirst() {
EltType[] tempArray;
EltType returned = deque[0];
tempArray = (EltType[]) new Object[capacity];
for (int i=1;i<capacity;i++) {
tempArray[i-1] = deque[i];
}
deque = tempArray;
end--;
return returned;
}
public EltType removeLast() {
EltType[] tempArray;
System.out.println(end);
EltType returned = deque[end];
tempArray = (EltType[]) new Object[capacity];
for (int i=0;i<deque.length;i++) {
tempArray[i] = deque[i];
}
deque = tempArray;
return returned;
}
}
The problem is that when I call
abd.insertFirst( 3 );
abd.insertFirst( 3 );
abd.insertFirst( 3 );
this, it returns an error.

the same is true for the insertLast method. I can't figure it out, and was hoping the scrutinizing gaze of stackOverflow could help me. Thanks a lot !
tempArray = (EltType[]) new Object[capacity+1];
for (int i=0;i<deque.length;i++) {
tempArray[i+1] = deque[i];
}
deque = tempArray;
After the first method call, deque
is an array of length 11 (deque
== tempArray
== new Object[capacity+1]
== new Object[11]
. The next time the method is called, you allocate tempArray
for capacity+1
== 11
slots, but traverse the for-loop from 0
to deque.length
which is 0
to 10
on the second method call. The last pass of the loop ends up being:
tempArray[11] = ...
which is past the end of tempArray
which only has 11
slots ([0]
to [10]
).
The naive fix is to have the for-loop go from 0
to capacity
instead of from 0
to deque.length
, but I'm unsure if this implements the actual behavior you want. Another approach is to allocate tempArray = new Object[deque.length+1]
, but then capacity
doesn't really mean capacity and it still may not reflect conceptually what you think is the "correct" behavior in that situation.
