The Deque class

(No version information available, might only be in Git)

Introducere

A Deque (pronounced “deck”) is a sequence of values in a contiguous buffer that grows and shrinks automatically. The name is a common abbreviation of “double-ended queue” and is used internally by Ds\Queue.

Two pointers are used to keep track of a head and a tail. The pointers can “wrap around” the end of the buffer, which avoids the need to move other values around to make room. This makes shift and unshift very fast —  something a Ds\Vector can’t compete with.

Accessing a value by index requires a translation between the index and its corresponding position in the buffer: ((head + position) % capacity).

Strengths

  • Supports array syntax (square brackets).
  • Uses less overall memory than an array for the same number of values.
  • Automatically frees allocated memory when its size drops low enough.
  • get(), set(), push(), pop(), shift(), and unshift() are all O(1).

Weaknesses

  • Capacity must be a power of 2.
  • insert() and remove() are O(n).
