"""
- 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"""
