[Home]Deque

HomePage | Recent Changes | Preferences

Deque, or double-ended queue is a data structure, which unites the properties of a queue and a stack. Like the stack, items can be pushed into the deque; however once they're inside, the last item pushed in may be extracted from the one side (popped, like in a stack), and the first item pushed in may be pulled out of the other side (like in a queue). Compare Linked list, Stack, Queue, and Array.
