pure/collections/deques

  Source   Edit

An implementation of a deque (double-ended queue). The underlying implementation uses a seq.

Note: None of the procs that get an individual value from the deque should be used on an empty deque.

If compiled with the boundChecks option, those procs will raise an IndexDefect on such access. This should not be relied upon, as -d:danger or --checks:off will disable those checks and then the procs may return garbage or crash the program.

As such, a check to see if the deque is empty is needed before any access, unless your program logic guarantees it indirectly.

Example:

import pure/collections/deques
var a = [10, 20, 30, 40].toDeque

doAssertRaises(IndexDefect, echo a[4])

a.addLast(50)
assert $a == "[10, 20, 30, 40, 50]"

assert a.peekFirst == 10
assert a.peekLast == 50
assert len(a) == 5

assert a.popFirst == 10
assert a.popLast == 50
assert len(a) == 3

a.addFirst(11)
a.addFirst(22)
a.addFirst(33)
assert $a == "[33, 22, 11, 20, 30, 40]"

a.shrink(fromFirst = 1, fromLast = 2)
assert $a == "[22, 11, 20]"

Types

Deque[T] = object
  data: seq[T]
  head, tail, count, mask: int

A double-ended queue backed with a ringed seq buffer.

To initialize an empty deque, use the initDeque proc.

Procs

proc `$`[T](deq: Deque[T]): string
Turns a deque into its string representation.

Example:

let a = [10, 20, 30].toDeque
assert $a == "[10, 20, 30]"
  Source   Edit
proc `[]=`[T](deq: var Deque[T]; i: BackwardsIndex; x: sink T) {.inline.}

deq[^1] is the last element.

Example:

var a = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50].toDeque
a[0] = 99
a[3] = 66

  Source   Edit
proc contains[T](deq: Deque[T]; item: T): bool {.inline.}

Returns true if item is in deq or false if not found.

Usually used via the in operator. It is the equivalent of deq.find(item) >= 0.

Example:

let q = [7, 9].toDeque
assert 7 in q
assert q.contains(7)
assert 8 notin q
  Source   Edit
proc initDeque[T](initialSize: int = defaultInitialSize): Deque[T]

Creates a new empty deque.

Optionally, the initial capacity can be reserved via initialSize as a performance optimization (default: defaultInitialSize). The length of a newly created deque will still be 0.
