Double-ended queue (Decue) Implementation.


A double-ended queue (dequeue or deque) is an abstract data type that generalizes a queue, for which elements can be added to or removed from either the front or rear. Deque differs from the queue abstract data type or First-In-First-Out List (FIFO), where elements can only be added to one end and removed from the other. This general data class has some possible sub-types:

1) An input-restricted deque is one where deletion can be made from both ends, but insertion can be made at one end only.
2) An output-restricted deque is one where insertion can be made at both ends, but deletion can be made from one end only.

Insertion Sort

You can use Deque as a stack by making insertion and deletion at the same side. Also you can use Deque as queue by making insetting elements at one end and removing elements at other end.

The common way of deque implementations are by using dynamic array or doubly linked list. Here this example shows the basic implementation of deque using a list, which is basically a dynamic array.

The complexity of Deque operations is O(1), when we not consider overhead of allocation/deallocation of dynamic array size.


package com.java2novice.ds.queue;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class DoubleEndedQueueImpl {

	private List<Integer> deque = new ArrayList<Integer>();
	
	public void insertFront(int item){
		//add element at the beginning of the queue
		System.out.println("adding at front: "+item);
		deque.add(0,item);
		System.out.println(deque);
	}
	
	public void insertRear(int item){
		//add element at the end of the queue
		System.out.println("adding at rear: "+item);
		deque.add(item);
		System.out.println(deque);
	}
	
	public void removeFront(){
		if(deque.isEmpty()){
			System.out.println("Deque underflow!! unable to remove.");
			return;
		}
		//remove an item from the beginning of the queue
		int rem = deque.remove(0);
		System.out.println("removed from front: "+rem);
		System.out.println(deque);
	}
	
	public void removeRear(){
		if(deque.isEmpty()){
			System.out.println("Deque underflow!! unable to remove.");
			return;
		}
		//remove an item from the beginning of the queue
		int rem = deque.remove(deque.size()-1);
		System.out.println("removed from front: "+rem);
		System.out.println(deque);
	}
	
	public int peakFront(){
		//gets the element from the front without removing it
		int item = deque.get(0);
		System.out.println("Element at first: "+item);
		return item;
	}
	
	public int peakRear(){
		//gets the element from the rear without removing it
		int item = deque.get(deque.size()-1);
		System.out.println("Element at rear: "+item);
		return item;
	}
	
	public static void main(String a[]){
		
		DoubleEndedQueueImpl deq = new DoubleEndedQueueImpl();
		deq.insertFront(34);
		deq.insertRear(45);
		deq.removeFront();
		deq.removeFront();
		deq.removeFront();
		deq.insertFront(21);
		deq.insertFront(98);
		deq.insertRear(5);
		deq.insertFront(43);
		deq.removeRear();
	}
}

Output:
adding at front: 34
[34]
adding at rear: 45
[34, 45]
removed from front: 34
[45]
removed from front: 45
[]
Deque underflow!! unable to remove.
adding at front: 21
[21]
adding at front: 98
[98, 21]
adding at rear: 5
[98, 21, 5]
adding at front: 43
[43, 98, 21, 5]
removed from front: 5
[43, 98, 21]

What is servlet context?
The servlet context is an interface which helps to communicate with other servlets. It contains information about the Web application and container. It is kind of application environment. Using the context, a servlet can obtain URL references to resources, and store attributes that other servlets in the context can use.
