What is doubly linked list? Give the representation for the same

A doubly linked list is a type of linked data structure that consists of a sequence of elements, where each element (node) contains three parts:

1. A reference (or pointer) to the previous node.

2. The actual data or value of the node.

3. A reference (or pointer) to the next node.

Unlike a singly linked list, where each node points only to the next node, in a doubly linked list, each node can navigate both forward and backward through the list, thanks to its two
pointers.

Key Features of a Doubly Linked List:


Each node contains a reference to both its previous node and its next node.

The first node's previous reference is NULL (or None in Python), indicating the start of the list.

The last node's next reference is NULL , indicating the end of the list.

Basic Structure of a Node in a Doubly Linked List:


diff Copy code

+------+-------+------+
| Prev | Data | Next |
+------+-------+------+

Prev: A pointer to the previous node.

Data: The actual value stored in the node.

Next: A pointer to the next node.

Example of a Doubly Linked List:


Consider a doubly linked list with three nodes, where the data values are 10 , 20 , and 30 .

css Copy code

NULL <- [10] <-> [20] <-> [30] -> NULL

The first node ( 10 ) has its previous pointer set to NULL and its next pointer pointing to the second node ( 20 ).

The second node ( 20 ) has its previous pointer pointing to the first node and its next pointer pointing to the third node ( 30 ).

The third node ( 30 ) has its previous pointer pointing to the second node and its next pointer set to NULL , indicating the end of the list.

Representation in Code (Python Example):

python Copy code

class Node:
def __init__(self, data):
self.data = data # The data value of the node
self.prev = None # Pointer to the previous node
self.next = None # Pointer to the next node

class DoublyLinkedList:
def __init__(self):
self.head = None # Initialize the list as empty

# Method to append node to the end of the list


def append(self, data):
new_node = Node(data)
if self.head is None:
self.head = new_node
else:
last = self.head
while last.next: # Traverse to the last node
last = last.next
last.next = new_node
new_node.prev = last

# Example usage:
dll DoublyLinkedList()
