Please use v2, the generic version, if you have golang 1.18 or above.

Overview

Deque is a highly optimized double-ended queue, which is much efficient compared with list.List when adding or removing elements from the beginning or the end.

Getting Started

go get -u github.com/edwingeng/deque

Usage

dq := deque.NewDeque()
dq.PushBack(100)
dq.PushBack(200)
dq.PushBack(300)
for !dq.Empty() {
    fmt.Println(dq.PopFront())
}

dq.PushFront(100)
dq.PushFront(200)
dq.PushFront(300)
for i, n := 0, dq.Len(); i < n; i++ {
    fmt.Println(dq.PopFront())
}

// Output:
// 100
// 200
// 300
// 300
// 200
// 100
