Solution

c) An error is thrown, and the enqueue operation fails.

When you try to enqueue an element into a full circular queue, the queue operation fails and an error is thrown. This is because a circular queue has a fixed size, and when all the spaces in the queue are filled, there is no room to add another element. The queue operations must then wait until an element is dequeued, or removed, from the queue to make space for the new element. This is a property of queue data structures in general, not just circular queues.

In a queue implemented using a circular array, if front = rear, what can be inferred about the queue?The queue is full.The queue is empty.The queue has exactly one element.Either the queue is full or empty, depending on the implementation.

Suppose that Q is a queue implemented with a circular array A,  initially empty (with size/capacity = 0). You run the following operations in the order given:1. Q.enqueue(7) 2. Q.enqueue(42) 3. Q.enqueue(3) 4. Q.dequeue()5. Q.enqueue(10)6. Q.first()7. Q.enqueue(5)8. Q.enqueue(30)9. Q.enqueue(15)10. Q.dequeue()11. Q.dequeue()12. Q.dequeue()13. Q.dequeue()14. Q.dequeue()Assuming that insertion and deletion in dynamic arrays use the resizing strategy we have seen during the lectures, describe the entries of the array A after performing the above operations, separating each entry by a comma and no space. If an entry is empty, write "None" (case-sensitive). For example, if the array was [1, 2, None, None], then write "1,2,None,None", omitting the double quotes.

The dequeue operation should throw an exception if it removes the last element in the queue. A. True B. False
