The program should push each opening character onto a stack. When a closing
character is encountered, the top of the stack should be the matching
opening character. See src/ch01ex03.cc.
opening character. See src/ch01ex03.cc.
4. Suppose you have a Stack, s, that supports only the push(x)
and pop() operations. Show how, using only a FIFO Queue, q, you can
reverse the order of all elements in s.
5. Using a USet, implement a Bag. A Bag is like a USet—it supports the add(x),
remove(x) and find(x) methods—but it allows duplicate elements to be
stored. The find(x) operation in a Bag returns some element (if any) that
is equal to x. In addition, a Bag supports the findAll(x) operation that
returns a list of all elements in the Bag that are equal to x.
6. From scratch, write and test implementations of the List, USet and SSet
interfaces. These do not have to be efficient. They can be used later to
test the correctness and performance of more efficient implementations.
7. Work to improve the performance of your implementations
from the previous question using any tricks you can think of. Experiment
and think about how you could improve the performance of add(i,x) and
remove(i) in your List implementation. Think about how you could improve
the performance of the find(x) operation in your USet and SSet
implementations. This exercise is designed to give you a feel for how
difficult it can be to obtain efficient implementations of these interfaces
