Java Program to Implement Stack using Two Queues

This is a Java Program to implement a stack using two queues.

Stack is a particular kind of abstract data type or collection in which the principal (or only) operations on the collection are the addition of an entity to the collection, known as push and removal of an entity, known as pop. The relation between the push and pop operations is such that the stack is a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) data structure.

Queue is a particular kind of abstract data type or collection in which the entities in the collection are kept in order and the principal (or only) operations on the collection are the addition of entities to the rear terminal position, known as enqueue, and removal of entities from the front terminal position, known as dequeue. This makes the queue a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) data structure.

However a stack can be implemented using two queues. Algorithm is as follows :

Create two queues : 'q' and 'tmp' as in the program given below
For push operation :
    if size of q = 0 then
        enqueue value into q
    else
        dequeue all elements from q to tmp
        enqueue value into q
        dequeue all elements from tmp to q
 
For pop operation :
    if size of q = 0 then
        throw 'underflow' exception
    else 
        return front element of q

Here is the source code of the Java program to implement a stack using two queues. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
