Recursive function to reverse an array implementation of a queue in Java

import java.util.Scanner;
class ed {
int fr, r;
int q[];
int n;
ed(int x) {
n = x;
fr = -1;
r = -1;
q = new int[n];
}
void enque(int n) {
int val = n;
while (r < n-1) {
if (r==n-1) {
System.out.println("Overflow");
break;
}
else if (fr==-1 && r==-1) {
fr=0;
r=0;
q[r] = val;
}
else {
r += 1;
q[r] = val;
}
}
}
void deque() {
if (fr==-1 && r==-1) {
System.out.println("Underflow");
}
else if (fr==r) {
fr=-1;
r=-1;
}
else {
fr += 1;
}
}
void reverse(int[] q) {
int a = q[0];
deque();
reverse(q);
enque(a);
}
void printq() {
for (int i = fr; i<=r; i++) {
System.out.print(q[i] + " ");
}
}
}
public class q1 {
static Scanner f = new Scanner (System.in);
public static void main(String[] args) {
int n = f.nextInt();
ed que = new ed(n);
for (int i=0; i<n; i++) {
int x = f.nextInt();
que.enque(x);
}
// que.deque();
// que.printq();
que.reverse(que.q);
}
}
My aim is to reverse a queue (Array) using a recursive function, but in VS Code, the loop is running infinite times and I'm not getting a chance to see the error. I'd like to know my mistake, and any improvement is highly appreciated.
The class ed contains a constructor which initializes the array and the front, rear values. Enque method adds an element to the queue at the rear, deque method removes the front element. Reverse method takes an array input (queue), stores the foremost element in the variable a, deques it, calls itself, then enques it at the back. VS Code is showing the error at line 48 (reverse(q), when it calls itself) but it's not showing the error as it's so far up.

A lot of things are not going the right way in your queue implementation using arrays.
Like, in enque function, you can fill values from rear = 0 to rear = n - 1, because you have n positions available in the q array.
Your code was too long, unstructured, and a bit messy with no proper variable names, So, I didn't read it any further.
But one thing I can make out is that you need to read how to implement a queue using the array.
Now, coming to queue reversal using the recursion part.
Your approach was correct, you just missed out the base case condition.
Steps for reversing queue:
Your queue has some elements, we get the first element out of the queue.
Then, we assume I have a recursive function that reverses the rest of the queue.
In this reversed queue, I just have to push that first element to the back.
And coming to the base case, each time queue size is decreasing by 1, so at the end, the queue will become empty then we don't have to do anything, just return. THUS STOPPING THE RECURSION (which you missed).
Here, is my implementation if you need some reference:
/*package whatever //do not write package name here */
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class Queue {
private int front, rear, capacity;
private int queue[];
Queue(int c) {
front = rear = 0;
capacity = c;
queue = new int[capacity];
}
int size() {
return rear - front;
}
void enqueue(int data) {
if (capacity == rear) {
System.out.printf("Queue is full.\n");
return;
}
else {
queue[rear] = data;
rear++;
}
}
void dequeue() {
if (front == rear) {
System.out.printf("Queue is empty.\n");
return;
}
else {
for (int i = 0; i < rear - 1; i++) {
queue[i] = queue[i + 1];
}
if (rear < capacity)
queue[rear] = 0;
rear--;
}
}
int front() {
if (front == rear) {
System.out.printf("\nQueue is Empty.\n");
return -1;
}
return queue[front];
}
void print() {
int i;
if (front == rear) {
System.out.printf("Queue is Empty.\n");
return;
}
for (i = front; i < rear; i++) {
System.out.printf(" %d, ", queue[i]);
}
System.out.println("");
return;
}
}
class GFG {
static Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
public static void reverseQueue(Queue queue) {
if (queue.size() == 0) {
return;
}
int frontElement = queue.front();
queue.dequeue();
reverseQueue(queue);
queue.enqueue(frontElement);
}
public static void main (String[] args) {
int queueSize = scanner.nextInt();
Queue queue = new Queue(queueSize);
for (int i = 0; i < queueSize; i++) {
int element = scanner.nextInt();
queue.enqueue(element);
}
queue.print();
reverseQueue(queue);
queue.print();
}
}
You can comment if anything is wrong, or need more clarification.

BubbleDown function(min heap) not working

I have generated a minheap to this file but I think something I have missed but I can't identify what are the things I have missed. I have missed something on --private void bubbleDown() { }-- section but I can't find what are the things missed by me.
private int default_size = 100; // how big the heap should be
private T[] array;
private int size;
public Heap() {
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
T[] tmp = (T[]) (new Comparable[default_size]);
array = tmp;
size = 0;
}
boolean isRoot(int index) { return (index == 0); }
int leftChild(int index) { return 2 * index + 1; }

}
public static void main(String [] args) {

for(int i=0; i<10; i++) {
heap.add((Integer)(int)(Math.random() * 100));
heap.show();
}
System.out.println("You should see sorted numbers");
while(!heap.isEmpty()) {
System.out.print(heap.remove());
System.out.print(" ");
heap.show();
}
System.out.println();
}
}
this code used generics and min heap functions.. i need to identify what is the wrong thing did by me on bubbleDown() section

Explanation
The bubbleDown() method is not a different way to insert a node and move it to it's correct position in the Heap. When bubbleDown() is called it's job is to Heapify the Binary Tree from any state. So your attempt to write the method just by changing the condition from the bubbleUp() method isn't gonna help you.
Extra
Here is a video that can give you the idea of how bubbleDown is supposed to work.

How to speed up Depth First Search method?

I'm trying to do a Depth First Search of my graph, and something is slowing it down quite a lot and I'm not sure what.
Here is my Bag code:
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.NoSuchElementException;
public class Bag<Item> implements Iterable<Item> {
private Node<Item> first; // beginning of bag
private Node<Item> end;
private int n; // number of elements in bag
public int label;
public int edges;
public static class Node<Item> {
private Item item;
private Node<Item> next;
public int label;
public int edges;
}
public Bag() {
first = null; // empty bag initialized
end = null;
n = 0;
}
public void add(Item item) {
if (n==0) {
Node<Item> head = new Node<Item>(); // if bag is empty
first = head;
end = head;
head.item = item; // new node both first and end of bag
edges++;
n++;
}
else {
Node<Item> oldlast = end; // old last assigned to end of node
Node<Item> last = new Node<Item>();
last.item = item;
oldlast.next = last; // new node added after old last
end = last;
n++; // size increased
edges++;
}
}
public Iterator<Item> iterator() {
return new LinkedIterator(first); // returns an iterator that iterates over the items in this bag in arbitrary order
}
public class LinkedIterator implements Iterator<Item> {
private Node<Item> current;
public LinkedIterator(Node<Item> first) {
current = first; // iterator starts at head of bag
}
public boolean hasNext() { return current != null; }
public void remove() { throw new UnsupportedOperationException(); }
public Item next() {
if (!hasNext()) throw new NoSuchElementException(); // if there is next item, current is moved to next
Item item = current.item;
current = current.next;
return item; // item is returned
}
}
}
Here is my driver:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Random;
public class Driver {
public static ArrayList<Integer> randomNum(int howMany) {
ArrayList<Integer> numbers = new ArrayList<Integer>(howMany);
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
while (numbers.size() < howMany) {
int rand_int = randomGenerator.nextInt(10000);
if (!numbers.contains(rand_int)) {
numbers.add(rand_int);
}
}
return numbers;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList<Integer> num = randomNum(100);
Graph G = new Graph(num);
System.out.println("The length of longest path for this sequence with graph is: " + G.dfsStart(num));
}
}
I send an ArrayList of random integers to my dfsStart method from the driver, which looks at all the different paths for each starting node in my graph. my DepthFirstSearch method calls the getAdjList for each starting node to find its neighbors using my Bag adj, and then works its way down each path before backtracking.
Here is my Graph code, containing my longest path method:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.NoSuchElementException;
public class Graph {
public final int V; // initializing variables and data structures
public Bag<Integer>[] adj;
public int longestPath;
public Graph(ArrayList<Integer> numbers) {
try {
longestPath = 0;
this.V = numbers.size();
adj = (Bag<Integer>[]) new Bag[V]; // bag initialized
for (int v = 0; v < V; v++) {
adj[v] = new Bag<Integer>();
}
for (int i = 0; i < V; i++) {
adj[i].label = numbers.get(i);
int j = (i + 1);
while (j < numbers.size()) {
if (numbers.get(i) < numbers.get(j)) {
addEdge(i, numbers.get(j));
}
j++;
}
}
}
catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("invalid input format in Graph constructor", e);
}
}
public void addEdge(int index, int num) {
adj[index].add(num);
}
public int getIndex(int num) {
for (int i = 0; i < adj.length; i++) {
if (adj[i].label == num) {
return i;
}
}
return -1;
}
public Bag<Integer> getAdjList(int source) {
Bag<Integer> adjList = null;
for (Bag<Integer> list : adj) {
if (list.label == source) {
adjList = list;
break;
}
}
return adjList;
}
public int dfsStart(ArrayList<Integer> numbers) {
for (int i=0;i<numbers.size();i++) {
// Print all paths from current node
depthFirstSearch(numbers.get(i),new ArrayList<>(300));
}
return longestPath;
}
public void depthFirstSearch(int src, ArrayList<Integer> current) {
current.add(src);
Bag<Integer> srcAdj = getAdjList(src);
if (srcAdj.size() == 0) {
// Leaf node
// Print this path
longestPath = Math.max(longestPath, current.size());
}
for (int links : srcAdj) {
depthFirstSearch(links, current);
}
current.remove(current.size()-1);
}
}
I believe the suggestion below helped get rid of the error, but it is still unbelievably slow when trying to find the longest path in a graph of more than 150 vertices.

Even for a small dense graph there can be many unique paths from a src node. I tested for this input [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25] there are 16777216 unique paths from all nodes. So you can expect OOM for bigger inputs. one way is to update the longestPath as soon as a path is found instead of adding it to the list.
Change this to later.
addtoCount(current.size());
to
longestPath = Math.max(longestPath, current.size());
Make sure longestPath is global and initialized to 0 before every test case.

Well, I do not know JAVA but that is an incredible lot of code for doing a simple thing such as depth first search.
In C++ it is done like this:
void cPathFinder::depthFirst(
int v)
{
// initialize visited flag for each node in graph
myPath.clear();
myPath.resize(nodeCount(), 0);
// start recursive search from starting node
depthRecurse(v, visitor);
}
void cPathFinder::depthRecurse(
int v )
{
// remember this node has been visited
myPath[v] = 1;
// look for new adjacent nodes
for (int w : adjacent(v))
if (!myPath[w])
{
// search from new node
depthRecurse(w);
}
}

Creating an Array Heap in Java

So i am trying to make an array based generic heap that i can use with my tester class. Much of what i have is based of my understandings of trees and some research online as well as from my textbook; both which have very limited info on what i am looking for. However, i did manage to get all the methods in need and when i run it, i get this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: [Ljava.lang.Object; cannot be cast to [Ljava.lang.Comparable;
at q1.Heaps.<init>(Heaps.java:23)
at q1.createGui.<init>(Gui.java:46)
at q1.Gui.main(Gui.java:18)
Im guessing it has to do with how i declare and initialize my Comparable array, which i am having trouble figuring out how to.
package q1;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class Heaps<E extends Comparable<E>> {
Comparable[] data;
int size;

#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public Heaps(int s) {

ensureCapacity(2*size);
size++;
data[size] = value;

heapifyUp();
}

*/
private boolean full()
{
return (size == data.length-1);
}
private void heapifyUp()
{
Comparable<E> temp;
int next = size;
while (next != 1 && data[next].compareTo(data[next/2]) > 0)
{
temp = data[next];
data[next] = data[next/2];
data[next/2] = temp;
next = next/2;
}
}
private void heapifyDown()
{
Comparable<E> temp;
int next = 0;
while (next*2 <= size) // node has a child
{
int child = 2*next; // left child
if (child < size &&
data[child].compareTo(data[child+1]) > 0)//left smaller than right
child++; // right child instead
if (data[next].compareTo(data[child]) > 0)
{
temp = data[next];
data[next] = data[child];
data[child] = temp;

}
else;
next = size; // stop loop
}//end while
}

}
}
return false;

int count = 1;
while(data[2*i] != null){
temp[count] = data[2*i];
++i;
++count;
}
i = 1;
while(data[(2*i) +1] != null){
temp[count] = data[(2*i) +1];
++i;
++count;
}
return temp;
}
public int countOccurance(E element){
int count = 0;
for (int i =0; i < size; i++){
if(element.equals(data[i])){
count++;
}
}
return count;
}
public boolean contains (E element)
{
for (int i=0; i<size; i++){
if (element.equals(data[i])){
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
If you could please show me how i would solve this problem, i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
EDIT: SO i edited the my class and now it works when i do data = (E[]) new Comparable[s]. So why does java not allow generic Array types, what makes it different from Arraylist, Stacks, Queues, and/or LinkedList which can be generic?

You are creating an Object[] and then trying to cast it to a Comprable[]. The compiler was telling you what you did wrong with the unchecked cast error.
You want data to be E[] data and the line to be:
data = new E[s];
Note: this could run into issues with how Java handles generics.

How can I implement a Dynamic Array Stack in Java?

I need to modify a class to create a dynamic array stack.
My code at this point looks something like this:
public class DynamicArrayStack<E> implements Stack<E> {
private E[] elems; //used to store the elements
public static final int defaultIncrement = 25;
private final int increment;
private int top;
#SuppressWarnings( "unchecked" )
public DynamicArrayStack( int increment ) {
this.increment = increment;
elems = (E[]) new Object[ increment ];
top = 0;
}
/**
* Constructor with no parameter that will initialize
* the stack to have an array whose size is the value
* of increment and memorise that value as the value
* of increment.
*/
public void ArraySize() { }
public boolean isEmpty() {
return top == 0;
}
public E peek() {
return elems[ top-1 ];
}
public E pop() {
// save the top element
E saved = elems[ --top ];
// scrub the memory, then decrements top
elems[ top ] = null;
return saved;
}
public void push( E elem ) {
// stores the element at position top, then increments top
elems[ top++ ] = elem;
}
public String toString() {
StringBuffer b;
b = new StringBuffer( "DynamicArrayStack: {" );
for ( int i=top-1; i>=0; i-- ) {
if ( i!=top-1 ) {
b.append( "," );
}
b.append( elems[ i ] );
}
b.append( "}" );
return b.toString();
}
}
How do I edit the first constructor to set increment as the initial size of the stack and that same value to be used when increasing or decreasing the size of the array. My method for doing this seems way too simple. Parameter must be > 0 and a fixed number of cells are added or removed when the size of the array changes.
The second constructor should set the stack to have an array whose size is the value of increment. I keep getting errors here because I can't figure out how to do that because I thought that was already set in the first constructor. Also the size of the array as the value of increment.
Also how do I make this class capable of changing the capacity of the stack and into which method should I place that code?

Here is the simple java code to implement it:
1)Stack based:
public class DynamicArrayStack {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DynamicStack dstack=new DynamicStack(2);
System.out.println("--Pushing--");
dstack.push(1);
dstack.push(2);
dstack.display();
dstack.push(3);
dstack.push(2);
dstack.push(5);
dstack.display();
System.out.println("--Popping--");
dstack.pop();
dstack.pop();
dstack.pop();
dstack.display();
}
}
class DynamicStack {
private int top;
private int capacity;
private int[] array;
public DynamicStack(int cap) {
capacity = cap;
array = new int[capacity];
top = -1;
}
public void push(int data) {
if (isFull()){
expandArray(); //if array is full then increase its capacity
}
array[++top] = data; //insert the data
}
public void expandArray() {
int curr_size = top + 1;
int[] new_array = new int[curr_size * 2];
for(int i=0;i<curr_size;i++){
new_array[i] = array[i];
}
array = new_array; //refer to the new array
capacity = new_array.length;
}
public boolean isFull() {
if (capacity == top+1)
return true;
else
return false;
}
public int pop() {
if (isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("Stack is empty");
return -1;
} else {
reduceSize(); //function to check if size can be reduced
return array[top--];
}
}
public void reduceSize() {
int curr_length = top+1;
if (curr_length < capacity / 2) {
int[] new_array = new int[capacity / 2];
System.arraycopy(array, 0, new_array, 0, new_array.length);
array = new_array;
capacity = new_array.length;
}
}
public boolean isEmpty() {
if (top == -1)
return true;
else
return false;
}
public void display() {
for (int i = 0; i <= top; i++) {
System.out.print(array[i] + "=>");
}
System.out.println();
System.out.println("ARRAY SIZE:" + array.length);
}
}
OUTPUT:
--Pushing--
1=>2=>
ARRAY SIZE:2
1=>2=>3=>2=>5=>
ARRAY SIZE:8
--Popping--
1=>2=>
ARRAY SIZE:4
2)Link List based:
public class LinkListStack {
public static void main(String[] args) {
StackList stack = new StackList();
System.out.println("--Pushing--");
stack.push(1);
stack.push(2);
stack.push(3);
stack.push(4);
stack.push(5);
stack.push(6);
stack.display();
System.out.println("--Popping--");
stack.pop();
stack.pop();
stack.display();
}
}
class Node {
private int data;
private Node next;
public Node(int d) {
data = d;
next = null;
}
public int getData() {
return data;
}
public void setData(int data) {
this.data = data;
}
public Node getNext() {
return next;
}
public void setNext(Node next) {
this.next = next;
}
}
class StackList {
private Node top;
private int length;
public StackList() {
length = 0;
top = null;
}
public void push(int data) {
Node temp = new Node(data);
if (top == null) {
top = temp;
} else {
temp.setNext(top);
top = temp;
}
length++;
}
public int pop() {
Node temp=top;
int data = top.getData();
top = top.getNext();
temp=null;
length--;
return data;
}
public void display() {
Node temp = top;
if (isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("Stack is empty");
} else {
while (temp != null) {
System.out.print(temp.getData() + "=>");
temp = temp.getNext();
}
}
System.out.println();
}
public boolean isEmpty() {
return (top == null);
}
}
OUTPUT:
--Pushing--
6=>5=>4=>3=>2=>1=>
--Popping--
4=>3=>2=>1=>

Default constructor
Your default constructor could simply call your other constructor with a default increment value. For example:
public DynamicArrayStack() {
this(defaultIncrement);
}
Expanding the array
The correct place to expand the array is within the push method. When attempting to add a new element you can check if the array is large enough, and if not create a new larger array. For example you could do the following:
#Override
public E push(final E elem) {
// Check if we need to expand the array
if (elems.length - 1 == top) {
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
final E[] newElems = (E[]) new Object[elems.length + increment];
System.arraycopy(elems, 0, newElems, 0, elems.length);
elems = newElems;
}
// stores the element at position top, then increments top
elems[top++] = elem;
return elem;
}
If you want to shrink the array the sensible place to do this would be in the pop() method. You might want to consider only reducing the length when (top + (increment*2))<elems.length to avoid repeatedly copying arrays when you're on the boundary.
