When it is required to insert a new node at the end of a doubly linked list, a ‘Node’ class needs to be created. In this class, there are three attributes, the data that is present in the node, the access to the next node of the linked list, and the access to the previous node of the linked list.
Below is a demonstration for the same −
Example
class Node: def __init__(self, my_data): self.prev = None self.data = my_data self.next = None class double_list: def __init__(self): self.head = None self.tail = None def add_data_at_end(self, my_data): new_node = Node(my_data) if(self.head == None): self.head = self.tail = new_node self.head.previous = None self.tail.next = None else: self.tail.next = new_node new_node.previous = self.tail self.tail = new_node self.tail.next = None def print_it(self): curr = self.head if (self.head == None): print("The list is empty") return print("The nodes in the doubly linked list are :") while curr != None: print(curr.data) curr = curr.next my_instance = double_list() print("Elements are being added to the end of doubly linked list") my_instance.add_data_at_end(10) my_instance.print_it() my_instance.add_data_at_end(24) my_instance.print_it() my_instance.add_data_at_end(54) my_instance.print_it() my_instance.add_data_at_end(77) my_instance.print_it() my_instance.add_data_at_end(92) my_instance.print_it()
Output
Elements are being added to the end of doubly linked list The nodes in the doubly linked list are : 10 The nodes in the doubly linked list are : 10 24 The nodes in the doubly linked list are : 10 24 54 The nodes in the doubly linked list are : 10 24 54 77 The nodes in the doubly linked list are : 10 24 54 77 92
Explanation
- The ‘Node’ class is created.
- Another class with required attributes is created.
- A method named ‘add_data_at_end’ is defined, that is used to add data at the end of the doubly linked list.
- Another method named ‘print_it’ is defined, that displays the nodes of the circular linked list.
- An object of the ‘double_list’ class is created, and the methods are called on it to add data to the end of the doubly linked list.
- An ‘init’ method is defined, that the root, head, and tail nodes of the doubly linked list to None.
- The list is iterated over, and the element is added to the end of the doubly linked list.
- This is displayed on the console using the ‘print_it’ method.
