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
