# Double-Ended Queue
|
|
|
|
In a regular queue, we can only delete elements from the head or add elements to the tail. As shown in the figure below, a "double-ended queue (deque)" offers more flexibility, allowing the addition or removal of elements at both the head and the tail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Common Operations in Double-Ended Queue
|
|
|
|
The common operations in a double-ended queue are listed below, and the specific method names depend on the programming language used.
|
|
|
|
<p align="center"> Table <id> Efficiency of Double-Ended Queue Operations </p>
|
|
|
|
| Method Name | Description | Time Complexity |
|
|
| ------------- | --------------------------- | --------------- |
|
|
| `pushFirst()` | Add an element to the front | $O(1)$ |
|
|
| `pushLast()` | Add an element to the rear | $O(1)$ |
|
|
| `popFirst()` | Remove the front element | $O(1)$ |
|
|
| `popLast()` | Remove the rear element | $O(1)$ |
|
|
| `peekFirst()` | Access the front element | $O(1)$ |
|
|
| `peekLast()` | Access the rear element | $O(1)$ |
|
|
|
|
Similarly, we can directly use the double-ended queue classes implemented in programming languages:

=== "Python"
|
|
|
|
```python title="deque.py"
|
|
from collections import deque
|
|
|
|
# Initialize the deque
|
|
deque: deque[int] = deque()
|
|
|
|
# Enqueue elements
|
|
deque.append(2) # Add to the rear
|
|
deque.append(5)
|
|
deque.append(4)
|
|
deque.appendleft(3) # Add to the front
|
|
deque.appendleft(1)
|
|
|
|
# Access elements
|
|
front: int = deque[0] # Front element
|
|
rear: int = deque[-1] # Rear element
|
|
|
|
# Dequeue elements
|
|
pop_front: int = deque.popleft() # Front element dequeued
|
|
pop_rear: int = deque.pop() # Rear element dequeued
|
|
|
|
# Get the length of the deque
|
|
size: int = len(deque)
|
|
|
|
# Check if the deque is empty

is_empty: bool = len(deque) == 0

## Implementing a Double-Ended Queue *
|
|
|
|
The implementation of a double-ended queue is similar to that of a regular queue, with the choice of either linked lists or arrays as the underlying data structure.
|
|
|
|
### Implementation Based on Doubly Linked List
|
|
|
|
Recall from the previous section that we used a regular singly linked list to implement a queue, as it conveniently allows for deleting the head node (corresponding to dequeue operation) and adding new nodes after the tail node (corresponding to enqueue operation).
|
|
|
|
For a double-ended queue, both the head and the tail can perform enqueue and dequeue operations. In other words, a double-ended queue needs to implement another symmetric direction of operations. For this, we use a "doubly linked list" as the underlying data structure of the double-ended queue.
|
|
|
|
As shown in the figure below, we treat the head and tail nodes of the doubly linked list as the front and rear of the double-ended queue, respectively, and implement the functionality to add and remove nodes at both ends.
|
|
|
|
=== "LinkedListDeque"
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== "pushLast()"
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== "pushFirst()"
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== "popLast()"
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== "popFirst()"
|
|
|
|
|
|
The implementation code is as follows:
|
|
|
|
```src
|
|
[file]{linkedlist_deque}-[class]{linked_list_deque}-[func]{}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Implementation Based on Array
|
|
|
|
As shown in the figure below, similar to implementing a queue with an array, we can also use a circular array to implement a double-ended queue.
|
|
|
|
=== "ArrayDeque"
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== "pushLast()"
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== "pushFirst()"
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== "popLast()"
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== "popFirst()"
|
|
|
|
|
|
The implementation only needs to add methods for "front enqueue" and "rear dequeue":
|
|
|
|
```src
|
|
[file]{array_deque}-[func]{}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Applications of Double-Ended Queue
|
|
|
|
The double-ended queue combines the logic of both stacks and queues, **thus it can implement all the application scenarios of these two, while offering greater flexibility**.
|
|
|
|
We know that the "undo" feature in software is typically implemented using a stack: the system `pushes` each change operation onto the stack, and then `pops` to implement undoing. However, considering the limitations of system resources, software often restricts the number of undo steps (for example, only allowing the last 50 steps). When the length of the stack exceeds 50, the software needs to perform a deletion operation at the bottom of the stack (the front of the queue). **But a regular stack cannot perform this function, which is where a double-ended queue becomes necessary**. Note that the core logic of "undo" still follows the Last-In-First-Out principle of a stack, but a double-ended queue can more flexibly implement some additional logic.
