Implementation of:
- singly linked lists
- doubly linked lists
- singly linked rings (circular lists)
- doubly linked rings (circular lists)
Basic Usage
Because it makes no sense to do otherwise, the next and prev pointers are not hidden from you and can be manipulated directly for efficiency.
Lists
import lists var l = initDoublyLinkedList[int]() a = newDoublyLinkedNode[int](3) b = newDoublyLinkedNode[int](7) c = newDoublyLinkedNode[int](9) l.append(a) l.append(b) l.prepend(c) assert a.next == b assert a.prev == c assert c.next == a assert c.next.next == b assert c.prev == nil assert b.next == nil
Rings
import lists var l = initSinglyLinkedRing[int]() a = newSinglyLinkedNode[int](3) b = newSinglyLinkedNode[int](7) c = newSinglyLinkedNode[int](9) l.append(a) l.append(b) l.prepend(c) assert c.next == a assert a.next == b assert c.next.next == b assert b.next == c assert c.next.next.next == c
