Create Queue using Stacks (queue_using_stack.py)

Strengths:

  • Clean, readable implementation that matches the optimal solution
  • Correct use of the two-stack queue pattern
  • Good variable naming convention
  • Handles edge cases (empty queue check in pop())

Areas for Improvement:

  • The solution is already well-optimized; no significant improvements needed
  • Minor: Could add docstrings for better documentation, though not strictly necessary for this problem

VERDICT: PASS


Implement Hash Map (implement_hashmap.py)

Strengths:

  1. Clean and readable code structure with well-named methods
  2. Correctly implements the HashMap functionality with O(1) operations
  3. Good use of two-level hashing to reduce collision probability
  4. Handles the edge case for primaryIndex 0 (keys 0-1000 need 1001 slots)

Areas for Improvement:

  1. The special case handling for primaryIndex 0 (using 1001 instead of 1000) should be documented with a comment for clarity
  2. Consider adding input validation or documentation about the key range (0 to 10^6)
  3. The magic number 1001 in the condition if primaryIndex == 0 could be defined as a constant for better maintainability
  4. Could add docstrings to methods explaining their purpose

Comparison to Reference:

  • The student's solution is conceptually similar but uses array-based chaining instead of linked lists
  • Both achieve O(1) amortized time complexity
  • The student's approach may have slightly better cache locality due to contiguous array access

VERDICT: PASS
