Is a priority queue a subsection of a queue?

By Md Shoriful Islam

A priority queue is indeed a specialized type of queue. Here’s how they relate:

Queue: A queue is a linear data structure that follows the FIFO (First-In-First-Out) principle. Elements are added to the back (rear) of the queue and removed from the front (head). It’s like waiting in a line—people who arrive first are served first.

Priority Queue: A priority queue is an extension of the basic queue. In a priority queue, each element has an associated priority value. Elements with higher priority values take precedence over those with lower priority values. When removing elements, the one with the highest priority is dequeued first.

So, while a priority queue shares some similarities with a regular queue, it introduces the concept of prioritization based on values. Think of it as a queue where certain items get to “jump the line” based on their importance! 🚀

403. Scientific Problem - C++ / C - Solution - Codeforces ACMSGURU problemset

By Md Shoriful Islam
403. Scientific Problem Time limit per test: 0.25 second(s) Memory limit: 65536 kilobytes input: standard output: standard Once upon a time Professor Idioticideasinventor was travelling by train. Watching cheerless landscape outside the window, he decided to invent the theme of his new scientific work. All of a sudden a brilliant idea struck him: to develop an effective algorithm finding an integer number, which is x times less than the sum of all its integer positive predecessors, where number x is given. As far as he has no computer in the train, you have to solve this difficult problem. Input The first line of the input file contains an integer number x (1 ≤ x ≤ 109). OutputOutput an integer number — the answer to the problem. Example(s) sample input sample output 1 3 sample output 2 5 Solution Code: C++ #include <iostream> using namespace std ; // solved int main () { int x ; cin >> x ; cout << 2 * x + 1 << endl ; return 0 ; } Solu

Version Control with Git: A Beginner’s Guide

Version Control with Git: A Beginner’s Guide If you are a developer, you probably know how important it is to keep track of your code changes and collaborate with other developers on a project. But how do you do that effectively and efficiently? The answer is version control. Version control is a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later. It allows you to revert files back to a previous state, compare changes over time, see who last modified something, and more. Version control also enables you to work with other developers on the same code base without stepping on each other’s toes. One of the most popular version control systems in the world is Git. Git is a free and open source distributed version control system that is designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Git has many features that make it superior to other version control systems, such as: Cheap local branchin

Callback function in JavaScript

Callback function in JavaScript What is a callback function in JavaScript? A callback function is a function that is passed as an argument to another function and is executed after the first function has completed its task. Callback functions are useful for handling asynchronous events, such as network requests, file operations, or timers. For example, you can use a callback function to display the result of a calculation after the calculation is done. Callback function in JavaScript Here is a simple example of a callback function in JavaScript: // Define a function that takes a callback as an argument function sayHello (callback) { // Do some task console .log ("Hello, world!"); // Invoke the callback function callback (); } // Define another function function sayGoodbye () { // Do some task console .log ("Goodbye, world!"); } // Call the first function and pass the second function as a callback sayHello (sayGoodbye); // The output will be: // Hello, wo
