Double Ended Queue ( DEQUE)





It is a homogeneous list of elements in which insertion and deletion operations are performed from both the ends i.e, we can insert elements from the rear end or from the front ends. Hence, it is called double-ended queue. It is commonly referred to as deque.

There are two types of deques. These two types are due to the restrictions put to preform either the insertions or deletions only at the end. They are :

1) Input Restricted Deque 
2) Output Restricted Deque

Four Operations :

=> Insertion of an element at the REAR end of the queue
=> Deletion of an element from the FRONT end of the queue
=> Insertion of an element at the FRONT end of the queue
=> Deletion of an element from the REAR end of the queue


For an input-restricted deque only the operations 1,2,3 & 4 are valid. And for an output-restricated deque only the operations specified in 1,2,3 are valid.

a) Insertion of an element at the REAR end of the queue

void dqinsert_rear(int q[10],int front,int rear,int item,int MAXSIZE)
{
   if(rear == (MAXSIZE-1))
   {
      printf(" QUEUE is full ");
      return;
   }
  rear=rear+1;
  q[rear]=item;
}


b) Deletions of an element from the FRONT end of the queue

void dqdelete_front(int q[10],int front,int rear,int item)
{
    if(front == rear)
    {
         printf(" QUEUE is empty ");
         return;
    }

    front=front+1;
    item=q[item];
}



3) Insertion of an element at the FRONT end of the queue

void dqinsert_front(int q[10], int front, int rear, int item)
{
     if(front == 0)
     {
            printf(" QUEUE is full");
            return;
     }
     front=front-1;
     q[front]=item;

}



d) Deletion of an element from the REAR end of the queue


void dqdelete_rear( int q[10], int front, int rear, int item)
{
   if(front == rear)
   {
       printf(" QUEUE is empty ");
       return;
   }

   rear=rear-1;
   item=q[item];

}




e) Function to display the contents (status) of a QUEUE

void dq_display(int q[10], int front, int rear)
{
    if(front <= rear)
    {
         printf(" Status of the Queue \n");
         for(i = front; i<=rear; i++)
         printf("%d",dq[i]);
    }
    else
        printf(" QUEUE is empty ");

}
