Implementation of Deque using Array

In this article, we are going to learn how to create an input and output restricted Deque with the help of array in the data structure?
Submitted by Manu Jemini, on December 19, 2017

This differs from the queue abstract data type or First-In-First-Out List (FIFO), where elements can only be added to one end and removed from the other. This general data class has some possible sub-types:

1. An input-restricted Deque is one where deletion can be made from both ends, but insertion can be made at one end only.
2. An output-restricted Deque is one where insertion can be made at both ends, but deletion can be made from one end only.

The Below code consists of many functions. Four functions are general, two display functions, two special and the main function.

The implementation starts with the main function and then user choose input or output type of restricted queues. According to the choice, one of the two special functions gets invoked and that function leads the way.

As above explained a little about the operational rules of both types, the user gets the options to operate.

There are four functions insert_left, insert_right, delete_left and delete_right. As the naming specify these functions add or delete to the corresponding sides.

Then we got two display functions for both the different type types of a queue. The Size of array is 5 by default, to change, edit the second line of code.
