Implement a Doubly-Linked List in Python¶

Tasks¶

Make a new branch of your data structures repository. Call it dll On that branch implement a doubly-linked list. Your implementation should have the following methods:

push(val) will insert the value ‘val’ at the head of the list
append(val) will append the value ‘val’ at the tail of the list
pop() will pop the first value off the head of the list and return it.
shift() will remove the last value from the tail of the list and return it.
remove(val) will remove the first instance of ‘val’ found in the list, starting from the head. If ‘val’ is not present, it will raise an appropriate Python exception.

Be sure to write tests to cover your new data structure. For each feature of your list, write the test that demonstrates it first, then implement the feature.

Update the README.md to include this new structure. In particular, add a paragraph explaining different use-cases where the singly or doubly-linked list might be more appropriate.

Submitting Your Work¶

When you are done working and all your tests are passing, create a pull request from the dll branch to master. Copy the URL of the pull request and submit that using the URL input. After this is done, you may merge your branch back to master.

As usual, use the comment feature to submit questions, comments and reflections on the work you did for this assignment.
