A Double-Ended Queue, Called a Dequeue, Is a Queue That

question 15

Essay

A double-ended queue, called a dequeue, is a queue that, instead of having single links in one direction, has a pair of links, one pointed in each direction. Dequeues allow one to "push" and "pop" information at either end. Is this ADT the same or different from a doubly linked list, as described in the textbook?
