Doubly Linked Lists (DLL)

Learn the fundamentals of doubly linked lists, including their bi-directional node structure and efficient deletion methods. Understand how adding a previous pointer enhances traversal and makes managing nodes easier compared to singly linked lists.

Introduction #

By now, you must have noticed a constraint which arises when dealing with singly linked lists. For any function which does not operate at the head node, we must traverse the whole list in a loop.

While the search operation in a normal list works in the same way, access is much faster as lists allow indexing.

Furthermore, since a linked list can only be traversed in one direction, we needlessly ...
