""" - A linked list is similar to an array, it holds values. However, links in a linked list do not have indexes. - This is an example of a double ended, doubly linked list. - Each link references the next link and the previous one. - A Doubly Linked List (DLL) contains an extra pointer, typically called previous pointer, together with next pointer and data which are there in singly linked list. - Advantages over SLL - IT can be traversed in both forward and backward direction.,Delete operation is more efficent""" class LinkedList: # making main class named linked list def __init__(self): self.head = None self.tail = None def insertHead(self, x): newLink = Link(x) # Create a new link with a value attached to it if self.isEmpty() == True: # Set the first element added to be the tail self.tail = newLink else: self.head.previous = newLink # newLink <-- currenthead(head) newLink.next = self.head # newLink <--> currenthead(head) self.head = newLink # newLink(head) <--> oldhead def deleteHead(self): temp = self.head self.head = self.head.next # oldHead <--> 2ndElement(head) self.head.previous = ( None ) # oldHead --> 2ndElement(head) nothing pointing at it so the old head will be removed if self.head is None: self.tail = None # if empty linked list return temp def insertTail(self, x): newLink = Link(x) newLink.next = None # currentTail(tail) newLink --> self.tail.next = newLink # currentTail(tail) --> newLink --> newLink.previous = self.tail # currentTail(tail) <--> newLink --> self.tail = newLink # oldTail <--> newLink(tail) --> def deleteTail(self): temp = self.tail self.tail = self.tail.previous # 2ndLast(tail) <--> oldTail --> None self.tail.next = None # 2ndlast(tail) --> None return temp def delete(self, x): current = self.head while current.value != x: # Find the position to delete current = current.next if current == self.head: self.deleteHead() elif current == self.tail: self.deleteTail() else: # Before: 1 <--> 2(current) <--> 3 current.previous.next = current.next # 1 --> 3 current.next.previous = current.previous # 1 <--> 3 def isEmpty(self): # Will return True if the list is empty return self.head is None def display(self): # Prints contents of the list current = self.head while current != None: current.displayLink() current = current.next print() class Link: next = None # This points to the link in front of the new link previous = None # This points to the link behind the new link def __init__(self, x): self.value = x def displayLink(self): print("{}".format(self.value), end=" ")
