Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using a circular queue compared to a linear queue.
- Advantages: Efficient space usage, no need to shift elements; Disadvantages: Complex implementation, potential for errors.
- Advantages: Efficient use of space, no need to shift elements; Disadvantages: Limited capacity, harder to implement.
- Advantages: Simplicity in implementation, no need to worry about capacity; Disadvantages: Inefficient space usage, requires shifting elements.
- Advantages: Unlimited capacity, easy to implement; Disadvantages: Inefficient space usage, requires frequent shifting.
Circular queues have advantages such as efficient space usage and no need to shift elements, but they come with disadvantages like limited capacity and a more challenging implementation process. Understanding these trade-offs is crucial when choosing between circular and linear queues.
