Types

type Deque

type Deque struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Deque represents a single instance of the deque data structure.

func New

func New(size ...int) *Deque

New creates a new Deque, optionally setting the current and minimum capacity when non-zero values are given for these.

To create a Deque with capacity to store 2048 items without resizing, and that will not resize below space for 32 items when removing itmes:

d := deque.New(2048, 32)

To create a Deque that has not yet allocated memory, but after it does will never resize to have space for less than 64 items:

d := deque.New(0, 64)

Note that any values supplied here are rounded up to the nearest power of 2.

func (*Deque) At

func (q *Deque) At(i int) interface{}

At returns the element at index i in the queue without removing the element from the queue. This method accepts only non-negative index values. At(0) refers to the first element and is the same as Front(). At(Len()-1) refers to the last element and is the same as Back(). If the index is invalid, the call panics.

The purpose of At is to allow Deque to serve as a more general purpose circular buffer, where items are only added to and removed from the ends of the deque, but may be read from any place within the deque. Consider the case of a fixed-size circular log buffer: A new entry is pushed onto one end and when full the oldest is popped from the other end. All the log entries in the buffer must be readable without altering the buffer contents.

func (*Deque) Back

func (q *Deque) Back() interface{}

Back returns the element at the back of the queue. This is the element that would be returned by PopBack(). This call panics if the queue is empty.

func (*Deque) Cap

func (q *Deque) Cap() int

Cap returns the current capacity of the Deque.

func (*Deque) Clear

func (q *Deque) Clear()

Clear removes all elements from the queue, but retains the current capacity. This is useful when repeatedly reusing the queue at high frequency to avoid GC during reuse. The queue will not be resized smaller as long as items are only added. Only when items are removed is the queue subject to getting resized smaller.

func (*Deque) Front

func (q *Deque) Front() interface{}

Front returns the element at the front of the queue. This is the element that would be returned by PopFront(). This call panics if the queue is empty.

func (*Deque) Len

func (q *Deque) Len() int

Len returns the number of elements currently stored in the queue.

func (*Deque) PopBack

func (q *Deque) PopBack() interface{}

PopBack removes and returns the element from the back of the queue. Implements LIFO when used with PushBack(). If the queue is empty, the call panics.

func (*Deque) PopFront

func (q *Deque) PopFront() interface{}

PopFront removes and returns the element from the front of the queue. Implements FIFO when used with PushBack(). If the queue is empty, the call panics.

func (*Deque) PushBack

func (q *Deque) PushBack(elem interface{})

PushBack appends an element to the back of the queue. Implements FIFO when elements are removed with PopFront(), and LIFO when elements are removed with PopBack().

func (*Deque) PushFront

func (q *Deque) PushFront(elem interface{})

PushFront prepends an element to the front of the queue.

func (*Deque) Rotate

func (q *Deque) Rotate(n int)

Rotate rotates the deque n steps front-to-back. If n is negative, rotates back-to-front. Having Deque provide Rotate() avoids resizing that could happen if implementing rotation using only Pop and Push methods.

func (*Deque) Set

func (q *Deque) Set(i int, elem interface{})

Set puts the element at index i in the queue. Set shares the same purpose than At() but perform the opposite operation. The index i is the same index defined by At(). If the index is invalid, the call panics.

func (*Deque) SetMinCapacity

func (q *Deque) SetMinCapacity(minCapacityExp uint)

SetMinCapacity sets a minimum capacity of 2^minCapacityExp. If the value of the minimum capacity is less than or equal to the minimum allowed, then capacity is set to the minimum allowed. This may be called at anytime to set a new minimum capacity.

Setting a larger minimum capacity may be used to prevent resizing when the number of stored items changes frequently across a wide range.
