Advantages of Deque
- It allows us to add and remove elements from both ends, hence providing more flexibility than a regular queue or stack.
- It can be used to implement both stacks and queues.
- It can efficiently provide the functionality of both LIFO and FIFO data structures.
- It is efficient as it takes O(1) time complexity to work with both ends.
- Deques are dynamic in size an d can grow and reduce in size dynamically.
- It is cache friendly as deque have cache-friendly contiguous subsequence.
C implementation Double-Ended Queue
The double-ended queues, called deques for short, are a generalized form of the queue. It is exactly like a queue except that it does not follow the FIFO rule (First in first out) so, the elements can be added to or removed from either the front(head) or back(tail) of the deque.
In this article, we will learn about the double-ended queue implementation in C. We will also look at the working of the double-ended queue and the basic operations that can be performed using the double-ended queue in C.
