PHP Deque Functions


Hello folks! welcome back to a new edition of our tutorial on PHP. In this tutorial guide, we are going to be studying about the PHP Deque Functions.

PHP Deque is a sequence of values in a contiguous buffer that can grow or shrink automatically. It is a common abbreviation of "double-ended queue" and can be used internally by Ds/Queue.

Two pointers can be used to keep track of a head and the tail. The pointers can wrap around the end of a buffer that avoids the need to move other values around to make room. This can make a shift and unshift very fast.


Accessing a value by index can require a translation between an index and its matching position in the buffer that is ((head + position) %capacity).

Advantages

  • Has support for array syntax (square brackets).
  • It uses less overall memory than an array for the same number of values.
  • It automatically frees up the allocated memory when it's size drops low enough.
  • get(), push(), shift(), unshift(), set(), pop() are all O(1).

Disadvantages

  • The capacity must be power of 2
  • insert() & remove() are O(n).

Syntax

   /* Constants */
   const int MIN_CAPACITY = 8 ;

   /* Methods */
