Linked Lists — 2

A doubly linked list is a linked data structure that consists of a set of sequentially linked records called nodes. Each node contains two fields, called links, that are references to the previous and to the next node in the sequence of nodes.

Initial List

❗️All the code snippets you will see below are just Pseudo code.

🔅 Append

append( item ) {
  let node = new Node( item );  if(!this.head) {
    this.head = node;
    this.tail = node;
  } else {
    node.prev = this.tail;
    this.tail.next = node;
    this.tail = node
  }
}

Append Operation

🔅 AppendAt

appendAt( pos, item ) {
   let current = this.head;
   let counter = 1;
   let node = new Node( item );
   if( pos == 0 ) {
     this.head.prev = node
     node.next = this.head
     this.head = node
   } else {
     while(current) {
      current = current.next;
      if( counter == pos ) {
        node.prev = current.prev
        current.prev.next = node
        node.next = current
        current.prev = node
      }
      counter++
    }
  }
}

AppendAt Operation

🔅 Remove

remove( item ) {
  let current = this.head;
  while( current ) {
    if( current.data === item ) {
      if( current == this.head && current == this.tail ) {
        this.head = null;
        this.tail = null;
      } else if ( current == this.head ) {
        this.head = this.head.next
        this.head.prev = null
      } else if ( current == this.tail ) {
        this.tail = this.tail.prev;
        this.tail.next = null;
      } else {
        current.prev.next = current.next;
        current.next.prev = current.prev;
      }
   }
   current = current.next
  }
}

Remove Operation

🔅 RemoveAt

removeAt( pos ) {
  let current = this.head;
  let counter = 1;
  if( pos == 0 ) {
   this.head = this.head.next;
   this.head.prev = null;
  } else {
   while( current ) {
    current = current.next
    if ( current == this.tail ) {
     this.tail = this.tail.prev;
     this.tail.next = null;
    } else if( counter == pos ) {
     current.prev.next = current.next;
     current.next.prev = current.prev;
     break;
    }
    counter++;
   }
  }
}

RemoveAt Operation

🔅 Reverse

reverse(){
  let current = this.head;
  let prev = null;
  while( current ){
   let next = current.next
   current.next = prev
   current.prev = next
   prev = current
   current = next
  }
  this.tail = this.head
  this.head = prev
}

Reverse Operation

🔅 Swap

swap( nodeOne, nodeTwo ) {
   let current = this.head;
   let counter = 0;
   let firstNode;
   while( current !== null ) {
     if( counter == nodeOne ){
       firstNode = current;
     } else if( counter == nodeTwo ) {
       let temp = current.data;
       current.data = firstNode.data;
       firstNode.data = temp;
     }
     current = current.next;
     counter++;
   }
   return true
}

Swap Operation

🔅 IsEmpty & Length

length() {
  let current = this.head;
  let counter = 0;
  while( current !== null ) {
   counter++
   current = current.next
  }
  return counter;
}isEmpty() {
  return this.length() < 1
}

IsEmpty & Length Operation

🔅 Traverse

traverse( fn ) {
   let current = this.head;
   while( current !== null ) {
    fn(current)
    current = current.next;
   }
   return true;
}

Traverse Operation

🔅 TraverseReverse

traverseReverse( fn ) {
  let current = this.tail;
  while( current !== null ) {
   fn(current)
   current = current.prev;
  }
  return true;
}

TraverseReverse Operation

🔅 Search

search( item ) {
  let current = this.head;
  let counter = 0;  while( current ) {
    if( current.data == item ) {
     return counter
    }
    current = current.next
    counter++
  }
  return false;
}
