1670. Design Front Middle Back Queue

中文文档

Description

Design a queue that supports push and pop operations in the front, middle, and back.

Implement the FrontMiddleBack class:

FrontMiddleBack() Initializes the queue.
void pushFront(int val) Adds val to the front of the queue.
void pushMiddle(int val) Adds val to the middle of the queue.
void pushBack(int val) Adds val to the back of the queue.
int popFront() Removes the front element of the queue and returns it. If the queue is empty, return -1.
int popMiddle() Removes the middle element of the queue and returns it. If the queue is empty, return -1.
int popBack() Removes the back element of the queue and returns it. If the queue is empty, return -1.

Notice that when there are two middle position choices, the operation is performed on the frontmost middle position choice. For example:

Pushing 6 into the middle of [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] results in [1, 2, 6, 3, 4, 5].
Popping the middle from [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] returns 3 and results in [1, 2, 4, 5, 6].

Example 1:

Input:
["FrontMiddleBackQueue", "pushFront", "pushBack", "pushMiddle", "pushMiddle", "popFront", "popMiddle", "popMiddle", "popBack", "popFront"]
[[], [1], [2], [3], [4], [], [], [], [], []]
Output:
[null, null, null, null, null, 1, 3, 4, 2, -1]

Explanation:
FrontMiddleBackQueue q = new FrontMiddleBackQueue();
q.pushFront(1);   // [1]
q.pushBack(2);    // [1, 2]
q.pushMiddle(3);  // [1, 3, 2]
q.pushMiddle(4);  // [1, 4, 3, 2]
q.popFront();     // return 1 -> [4, 3, 2]
q.popMiddle();    // return 3 -> [4, 2]
q.popMiddle();    // return 4 -> [2]
q.popBack();      // return 2 -> []
q.popFront();     // return -1 -> [] (The queue is empty)

Constraints:

1 <= val <= 10⁹
At most 1000 calls will be made to pushFront, pushMiddle, pushBack, popFront, popMiddle, and popBack.

Solutions

Solution 1: Two Deques

We use two deques, where $q_1$ stores the first half, and $q_2$ stores the second half. The rebalance function is used to maintain the balance between the two queues, i.e., keeping the length of $q_2$ greater than or equal to the length of $q_1$, and the difference in length does not exceed $1$.

In the pushFront, pushMiddle, and pushBack functions, we only need to add elements to $q_1$ or $q_2$, and call the rebalance function.

For the popFront function, we need to check whether $q_1$ and $q_2$ are empty. If both are empty, return $-1$. Otherwise, we need to check whether $q_1$ is empty. If not, pop the front element of $q_1$, otherwise pop the front element of $q_2$, and call the rebalance function.

For the popMiddle function, we need to check whether $q_1$ and $q_2$ are empty. If both are empty, return $-1$. Otherwise, we need to check whether the lengths of $q_1$ and $q_2$ are equal. If they are equal, pop the last element of $q_1$, otherwise pop the front element of $q_2$, and call the rebalance function.

For the popBack function, we only need to check whether $q_2$ is empty. If it is empty, return $-1$. Otherwise, pop the last element of $q_2$, and call the rebalance function.

The time complexity of the above operations is $O(1)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$, where $n$ is the number of elements in the queue.
