Competitive Python

Today, we will talk about another linear data structure , a Queue. It is a data structure thay basically acts like a real life queue. It works on FIFO (First in First out) principle. It means that the element that gets added to the queue first gets removed the first, it's like first come first serve basis.In a queue, the operations take effect at rear and front end of the list. Enque adds the element to the back of the queue and Dequeue removes the element from the front of the queue. Queue is a very essential data structure and also form the basis for some advanced data structures. Applications of a queue- CPU procces scheduling Real life simulations The methods associated with a queue are - Enque(): Adds an element to the back of the queue Deque(): Removes an element from the front of the queue isEmpty(): Returns wether the queue is empty or not size(): Returns the size of the queue Here is the implementation of the Queue data structure, in this implementation we...

WHY USE PYTHON FOR COMPETITIVE CODING Well a very good reason is that python is a language which radically cuts short the time you spend writing code ,rather you could spend that time thinking about the logic that is needed for the question. In these kind of competitions speed is necessary,I am not talking about the speed of the language but rather about the speed of the programmer.Python syntax is extremely clutter free and elegant which allows us to not get tangled up in complicated details of a programming language. Python also has a very vast variety of tools in its standard library and these tools can be very well utilised in competitive programming. Here's a list of a whole lot of other reasons why you would want to use python: Common inbuilt functions: Python has common functions like count,min,max,sorted etc.These functions allow you to easily go ahead and skip writing code for these trivial procedures which often prove to be very helpful,rest assured: Pytho...
