Master Queue & Deque Problems in Python

Image
  Queues look simple on paper, but they quietly decide how real systems behave under pressure. ⏱️ Estimated reading time: 12 minutes Generally accepted, queuing (queue) is a first-in-first-out ( FIFO ) data structure. In reality, queues are used in many non-academic contexts as a means of survival. All systems that deal with any kind of traffic, task, request, or data at scale eventually face this same fundamental problem: it is impossible for everything to be processed simultaneously. When traffic arrives at a system faster than it can be processed or handled, that system needs to determine what stays in the queue, what is dropped, and the order in which it will process traffic. At this point, we begin to view queues as more than just a structure for storing data; they also represent the design of a system. In large-scale systems (i.e., an e-commerce site selling out of an item due to demand and the associated product returns and replacement orders; an online video platf...

My father used to talk about IIT Bombay every single day. The goal was clear, the ambition strong — but the journey turned out to be very different from what I expected.Coming from a state board background, my basics were not strong. I struggled to understand theory, and as a result, I couldn’t solve many questions. Still, I used to complete all module exercises before anyone else. People were surprised by the speed, but the truth was, I couldn’t make it beyond the third batch. Some of my friends kept moving to higher batches. I felt jealous, frustrated, and often questioned my own capabilities. Then came May — I gave my first full portion test. The result was a shocker. I wasn’t even qualifying for Mains.
