Implement Double Linked List from Stack with min complexity

VietMX Staff asked 3 years ago

Imagine all items are organized into two stacks, draw them facing each other where face is where you put and peek:

1,2,3,4-><-5,6,7,8

now you can move 4 to 5:

1,2,3-><-4,5,6,7,8

and 3 to 4:

1,2-><-3,4,5,6,7,8

and you can go backwards.

You may also need another two stacks so that you can traverse List via the tail:

1,2,3,4 -> <-5,6,7,8 // first pair of stacks
8,7,6,5 -> <-4,3,2,1 // second pair of stacks kept in reverse order

once current stack runs out

empty-><-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 // first pair of stacks is currently being traversed
empty-><-8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 // second pair of stacks

simply switch to the second pair of stacks!

	int count;

		count = 0;
	}

	public void insertInBeginning(int data){
		while(!s.isEmpty()){
			t.push(s.pop());
		}
		s.push(data);
		count++;
	}

	public void insertAtEnd(int data){
		while(!t.isEmpty()){
			s.push(t.pop());
		}
		t.push(data);
		count++;
	}

	public void moveForward(){
		while(!t.isEmpty()){
			int temp = t.pop();
			System.out.println(temp);
			s.push(temp);
		}
	}

	public void moveBackward(){
		while(!s.isEmpty()){
			int temp = s.pop();
			System.out.println(temp);
			t.push(temp);
		}
	}

	public void delete(int data){
		while(!s.isEmpty()){
			t.push(s.pop());
