Task
Doubly-linked list/Definition
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Define the data structure for a complete Doubly Linked List.

  • The structure should support adding elements to the head, tail and middle of the list.
  • The structure should not allow circular loops

Ada

Works with: Ada 2005

Examples already in other doubly-linked list tasks: see Doubly-linked list/Element insertion#Ada and Doubly-linked list/Traversal#Ada.

Ada 2005 defines doubly-linked lists in A.18.3 The Package Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists.

Go

Go has nothing like an enforced invariant. Responsibility for preventing circular loops must be shared by all code that modifies the list. Given that, the following declaration enables code to do that efficiently. <lang go>type dlNode struct {

   int
   next, prev *dlNode

}

// Field 'members' allows loops to be prevented. All nodes // inserted should be added to members. Code that operates // on the list can check any pointer against members to // find out if the pointer is already in the list. type dlList struct {

   members map[*dlNode]int
   head, tail **dlNode

}</lang> Or, just use the container/list package: <lang go>package main

import "fmt" import "container/list"

func main() {

       // Create a new list and put some values in it.
       l := list.New()
       e4 := l.PushBack(4)
       e1 := l.PushFront(1)
       l.InsertBefore(3, e4)
       l.InsertAfter("two", e1)
       
       // Iterate through list and print its contents.
       for e := l.Front(); e != nil; e = e.Next() {
           fmt.Println(e.Value)
       }

An example of use:

Icon and Unicon

Uses Unicon's classes.

The DoubleList is made from elements of DoubleLink. Doubly-Linked List (element)#Icon_and_Unicon, Doubly-Linked List (element insertion)#Icon_and_Unicon and Doubly-Linked List (traversal)#Icon_and_Unicon

<lang Unicon> class DoubleList (item)

 method head ()
   node := item
   every (node := node.traverse_backwards ()) # move to start of list
   return node
 end
 method tail ()
   node := item
   every (node := node.traverse_forwards ()) # move to end of list
   return node
 end
 
 method insert_at_head (value)
   head().insert_before (DoubleLink(value))
 end
 method insert_at_tail (value)
   tail().insert_after (DoubleLink (value))
 end  
 # insert a node for new_value after that for target_value, 
 # i.e. in the middle of the list
 method insert_after (target_value, new_value)
   node := head ()
   every node := head().traverse_forwards () do 
     if (node.value = target_value) 
       then { 
         node.insert_after (DoubleLink (new_value))
        break 
       }
 end
 # constructor initiates a list making a node from given value
 initially (value)
   self.item := DoubleLink (value)

end </lang>

An insert_before method was added to the DoubleLink class:

<lang Unicon>

 # insert given node before this one, losing its existing connections
 method insert_before (node)
   if (\prev_link) then prev_link.next_link := node
   node.prev_link := prev_link
   node.next_link := self
   self.prev_link := node
 end

</lang>

To test the double-linked list:

<lang Unicon> procedure main ()

 dlist := DoubleList (5)
 every i := 4 to 1 by -1 do 
   dlist.insert_at_head (i)
 every i := 6 to 10 do
   dlist.insert_at_tail (i)
 dlist.insert_after (3, 11)
 every node := dlist.head().traverse_forwards () do
   write (node.value)

end </lang>

Output:

2
3
11

J

Doubly linked lists are antithetical to J.

First, J already has a built in list data type which is heavily optimized, and micromanaging issues like list traversal bypasses all of that design and architecture.

Second, an implementation of "doubly linked" conflicts with the "once and only once" character of many good implementations. In a doubly linked list order must be specified redundantly and that redundancy creates maintenance costs which are justified only in rare cases.

So, first, here is a native J list:

  list=: 2 3 5 7 11

To implement a doubly linked list, one could create a list of successor indices and another list of predecessor indices.

First, let us define a different order for our list element, so we can easily show that our doubly linked list is logically distinct from the built in list. If we use "alphabeted order by names of numbers" we would have the list 11 5 7 3 2

  data=:11 5 7 3 2
3 is followed by 2
5 is followed by 7
7 is followed by 3
11 is followed by 5

and

2 is preceded by 3
3 is preceded by 7
5 is preceded by 11
7 is preceded by 5

To represent this in J, we can define additional lists with the successor index and predecessor index for each node:

  successors=:   _ 0 3 1 2
  predecessors=: 1 3 4 2 __

Note that the successor for the end of the list is _ and the successor for the beginning of the list is __

To check for loops, look for repeated indices in either of these ordering lists. To add an element to the doubly linked list, you would add an element to the data list, and then update the successor and predecessor list by appending to the end the index of the item designated as the successor/predecessor of the new item and replacing the previous holder of that value with the newly valid index.

Finally, note that we can remove elements from the doubly linked list without removing them from the data list. We might wish to chain removed elements together to facilitate re-use of their positions. If we want to do this, we will need a place to start:

  garbage=: __

When we delete an item we place the old garbage value as its successor index and we define the garbage variable to be the index we just deleted. And when adding to the list we first check if garbage has a valid index and if so we take over that position in the structure and update garbage with the previous value of the successor.

Needless to say, this approach is expensive and inefficient. (But, granted, there will be cases where the cost is worth the expense.)

That said, note also that while the native J lists do not support cycles or loops, this high-cost substitute is general enough to support them.

Python

In the high level language Python, its list native datatype should be used. It automatically preserves the integrity of the list w.r.t. loops and allows insertion at any point using list.insert() via an integer index into the list rather than a machine-code level pointer to a list element.

Tcl

This task was earlier marked as unfeasible for Tcl. Tcl lists are compact arrays of pointers to values. However, on very long lists, insertions and deletions (if not at end) may require copying a large amount of data. In such cases, the implementation below may be helpful. It provides a single dl command, which is called with the name of a DList, a method name, and possibly more arguments as required. The testcases below should give a good idea. The asList and asList2 methods demonstrate forward and backward traversal.

See also Doubly-Linked List (element) for a TclOO-based version.
