# Linked List
|
||||
|
||||
Welcome to Linked List on Exercism's C Track.
|
||||
If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
Implement a doubly linked list.
|
||||
|
||||
Like an array, a linked list is a simple linear data structure. Several
|
||||
common data types can be implemented using linked lists, like queues,
|
||||
stacks, and associative arrays.
|
||||
|
||||
A linked list is a collection of data elements called *nodes*. In a
|
||||
*singly linked list* each node holds a value and a link to the next node.
|
||||
In a *doubly linked list* each node also holds a link to the previous
|
||||
node.
|
||||
|
||||
You will write an implementation of a doubly linked list. Implement a
|
||||
Node to hold a value and pointers to the next and previous nodes. Then
|
||||
implement a List which holds references to the first and last node and
|
||||
offers an array-like interface for adding and removing items:
|
||||
|
||||
* `push` (*insert value at back*);
|
||||
* `pop` (*remove value at back*);
|
||||
* `shift` (*remove value at front*).
|
||||
* `unshift` (*insert value at front*);
|
||||
|
||||
To keep your implementation simple, the tests will not cover error
|
||||
conditions. Specifically: `pop` or `shift` will never be called on an
|
||||
empty list.
|
||||

||||
