Doubly-linked list/Element definition
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Task

Define the data structure for a doubly-linked list element.

The element should include a data member to hold its value and pointers to both the next element in the list and the previous element in the list.

The pointers should be mutable.

Ada

type Link;
type Link_Access is access Link;
type Link is record
  Next : Link_Access := null;
  Prev : Link_Access := null;
  Data : Integer;
end record;

Using generics, the specification might look like this:

generic
   type Element_Type is private;
package Linked_List is
   type List_Type is limited private;
...
private
   type List_Element;
   type List_Element_Ptr is access list_element;
   type List_Element is
      record
	 Prev : List_Element_Ptr;
	 Data : Element_Type;
	 Next : List_Element_Ptr;
      end record;
   type List_Type is
      record
	 Head        : List_Element_Ptr;     -- Pointer to first element.
	 Tail        : List_Element_Ptr;     -- Pointer to last element.
	 Cursor      : List_Element_Ptr;     -- Pointer to cursor element.
	 Count       : Natural := 0;         -- Number of items in list.
	 Traversing  : Boolean := False;     -- True when in a traversal.
      end record;
end Linked_List;

In Ada 2005 this example can be written without declaration of an access type:

type Link is limited record
   Next : not null access Link := Link'Unchecked_Access;
   Prev : not null access Link := Link'Unchecked_Access;
   Data : Integer;
end record;

Here the list element is created already pointing to itself, so that no further initialization is required. The type of the element is marked as limited indicating that such elements have referential semantics and cannot be copied.

Ada's standard container library includes a generic doubly linked list. The structure of the link element is private.

C

It basically doesn't matter if we use the name link, node, Node or some other name. These are matters of taste and aesthetics. However, it is important that the C language is case-sensitive and that the namespace for structures is separate.

struct Node 
{
  struct Node *next;
  struct Node *prev;
  void  *data;
};

An alternative technique is to define a pointer type by typedef as shown below. The advantage here is that you do not have to write struct everywhere - assuming that you will most often need a pointer to a struct Node, not the structure itself.

struct Node;
typedef struct Node* Node;
struct Node
{
  Node next;
  Node prev;
  void* data;
};

C#

class Link
{
    public int Item { get; set; }
    public Link Prev { get; set; }
    public Link Next { get; set; }

    //A constructor is not neccessary, but could be useful
    public Link(int item, Link prev = null, Link next = null) {
        Item = item;
        Prev = prev;
        Next = next;
    }
}

C++

C++ has doubly linked list class template in standard library. However actual list noded are treated as implementation detail and encapsulated inside list. If we were to reimplement list, then node could look like that:

template <typename T>
struct Node
{
    Node* next;
    Node* prev;
    T data;
};

Clojure

This sort of mutable structure is not idiomatic in Clojure. Doubly-linked list/Definition#Clojure or a finger tree implementation would be better.

(defrecord Node [prev next data])

(defn new-node [prev next data]
  (Node. (ref prev) (ref next) data))

Common Lisp

(defstruct dlist head tail)
(defstruct dlink content prev next)

See the functions on the Doubly-Linked List page for the usage of these structures.

D

A default constructor is implicit:

struct Node(T) {
    T data;
    typeof(this)* prev, next;
}

void main() {
    alias N = Node!int;
    N* n = new N(10);
}

Delphi

struct Node(T) {

type

    pList = ^List ;

    list = record
       data : pointer ;
       prev : pList ;
       next : pList ;
    end;

}

E

This does no type-checking, under the assumption that it is being used by a containing doubly-linked list object which enforces that invariant along with others such as that element.getNext().getPrev() == element. See Doubly-Linked List#E for an actual implementation (which uses slightly more elaborate nodes than this).

def makeElement(var value, var next, var prev) {
    def element {
        to setValue(v) { value := v }
        to getValue() { return value }

        to setNext(n) { next := n }
        to getNext() { return next }

        to setPrev(p) { prev := p }
        to getPrev() { return prev }     
    }
   
    return element
}

Erlang

Using the code in Doubly-linked_list/Definition the element is defined by:

new( Data ) -> erlang:spawn( fun() -> loop( Data, noprevious, nonext ) end ).

F#

type 'a DLElm = {
    mutable prev: 'a DLElm option
    data: 'a
    mutable next: 'a DLElm option
}

Factor

TUPLE: node data next prev ;

Fortran

In ISO Fortran 95 or later:

type node
   real :: data
   type(node), pointer :: next => null(), previous => null()
end type node
!
! . . . .
!
type( node ), target :: head

FreeBASIC

type node
    nxt as node ptr
    prv as node ptr
    dat as any ptr   'points to any kind of data; user's responsibility
                     'to keep track of what's actually in it
end type

Go

type dlNode struct {
    string
    next, prev *dlNode
}

Or, using the container/list package:

import "container/list"

var node list.Element
// and using: node.Next(), node.Prev(), node.Value

Haskell

Haskell in general doesn't have mutability so the following 'mutator' functions use lazy evaluation instead.

Note that unlike naive pointer manipulation which could corrupt the doubly-linked list, updateLeft and updateRight will always yield a well-formed data structure.

data DList a = Leaf | Node (DList a) a (DList a)

updateLeft _ Leaf = Leaf
updateLeft Leaf (Node _ v r) = Node Leaf v r
updateLeft new@(Node nl _ _) (Node _ v r) = current
    where current = Node prev v r
          prev = updateLeft nl new

updateRight _ Leaf = Leaf
updateRight Leaf (Node l v _) = Node l v Leaf  
updateRight new@(Node _ _ nr) (Node l v _) = current
    where current = Node l v next
          next = updateRight nr new

Icon and Unicon

Uses Unicon classes.

class DoubleLink (value, prev_link, next_link)
  initially (value, prev_link, next_link)
    self.value := value
    self.prev_link := prev_link    # links are 'null' if not given
    self.next_link := next_link
end

J

As discussed in Doubly-linked_list/Definition#J, doubly linked lists are antithetical to J's design. Defining individual elements as independent structures is even worse. Now each element of the list must contain three arrays (everything in J is an array), all so that we can implement a list.

Yo Dawg, we heard you like lists, so we put lists in your lists so you can list while you list.

Nevertheless, this is doable, though it necessarily departs from the definition specified at Doubly-linked_list/Definition#J.

coclass'DoublyLinkedListElement'
create=:3 :0
  this=:coname''
  'predecessor successor data'=:y
  successor__predecessor=: predecessor__successor=: this
)

Here, when we create a new list element, we need to specify its successor node and its predecessor node and the data to be stored in the node. To start a new list we will need a node that can be the head and the tail of the list -- this will be the successor node for the last element of the list and the predecessor node for the first element of the list:

coclass'DoublyLinkedListHead'
create=:3 :0
  predecessor=:successor=:this=: coname''
)

Java

Works with: Java version 1.5+
public class Node<T> {
   private T element;
   private Node<T> next, prev;

   public Node<T>(){
      next = prev = element = null;
   }

   public Node<T>(Node<T> n, Node<T> p, T elem){
      next = n;
      prev = p;
      element = elem;
   }

   public void setNext(Node<T> n){
      next = n;
   }

   public Node<T> getNext(){
      return next;
   }

   public void setElem(T elem){
      element = elem;
   }

   public T getElem(){
      return element;
   }

   public void setNext(Node<T> n){
      next = n;
   }

   public Node<T> setPrev(Node<T> p){
      prev = p;
   }

   public getPrev(){
      return prev;
   }
}

For use with Java 1.4 and below, delete all "<T>"s and replace T's with "Object".

JavaScript

Inherits from LinkedList (see Singly-Linked_List_(element)#JavaScript)

function DoublyLinkedList(value, next, prev) {
    this._value = value;
    this._next = next;
    this._prev = prev;
}
// from LinkedList, inherit: value(), next(), traverse(), print()
DoublyLinkedList.prototype = new LinkedList();

DoublyLinkedList.prototype.prev = function() {
    if (arguments.length == 1) 
        this._prev = arguments[0];
    else
        return this._prev;
}

function createDoublyLinkedListFromArray(ary) {
    var node, prev, head = new DoublyLinkedList(ary[0], null, null);
    prev = head;
    for (var i = 1; i < ary.length; i++) {
        node = new DoublyLinkedList(ary[i], null, prev);
        prev.next(node);
        prev = node;
    }
    return head;
}

var head = createDoublyLinkedListFromArray([10,20,30,40]);

Julia

Kotlin

// version 1.1.2

class Node<T: Number>(var data: T, var prev: Node<T>? = null, var next: Node<T>? = null) {
    override fun toString(): String {
        val sb = StringBuilder(this.data.toString())
        var node = this.next
        while (node != null) {
            sb.append(" -> ", node.data.toString())
            node = node.next
        }
        return sb.toString()
    }
}

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val n1 = Node(1)
    val n2 = Node(2, n1)
    n1.next = n2
    val n3 = Node(3, n2)
    n2.next = n3
    println(n1)
    println(n2)
    println(n3)
}
Output:
1 -> 2 -> 3
2 -> 3

Functional

The previous implementation is the strict equivalent of the other examples of this page and its task, but in regular OCaml these kind of imperative structures can be advantageously replaced by a functional equivalent, that can be use in the same area, which is to have a list of elements and be able to point to one of these. We can use this type:

type 'a nav_list = 'a list * 'a * 'a list

The middle element is the pointed item, and the two lists are the previous and the following items. Here are the associated functions:

let nav_list_of_list = function
  | hd::tl -> [], hd, tl
  | [] -> invalid_arg "empty list"

let current = function
  | _, item, _ -> item

let next = function
  | prev, item, next::next_tl ->
      item::prev, next, next_tl
  | _ ->
      failwith "end of nav_list reached"

let prev = function
  | prev::prev_tl, item, next ->
      prev_tl, prev, item::next
  | _ ->
      failwith "begin of nav_list reached"
# let nl = nav_list_of_list [1;2;3;4;5] ;;
val nl : 'a list * int * int list = ([], 1, [2; 3; 4; 5])
# let nl = next nl ;;
val nl : int list * int * int list = ([1], 2, [3; 4; 5])
# let nl = next nl ;;
val nl : int list * int * int list = ([2; 1], 3, [4; 5])

# current nl ;;

Oz

We show how to create a new node as a record value.

fun {CreateNewNode Value}
   node(prev:{NewCell _}
	next:{NewCell _}
	value:Value)
end

Note: this is for illustrative purposes only. In a real Oz program, you would use one of the existing data types.

Pascal

type link_ptr = ^link;
     data_ptr = ^data; (* presumes that type 'data' is defined above *)
     link = record
              prev: link_ptr;
              next: link_ptr;
              data: data_ptr;
            end;

PascalABC.NET

type Node<T> = auto class
  data: T;
  prev,next: Node<T>;
end;

Perl

my %node = (
     data => 'say what',
     next => \%foo_node,
     prev => \%bar_node,
);
$node{next} = \%quux_node;  # mutable

Phix

In Phix, types are used for validation and debugging rather than specification purposes. For extensive run-time checking you could use

enum NEXT,PREV,DATA
type slnode(object x)
    return (sequence(x) and length(x)=DATA and <i>udt</i>(x[DATA]) and integer(x[NEXT] and integer(x[PREV]))
end type

But more often you would just use the builtin sequences. See also Singly-linked_list/Element_definition.

Memory is automatically reclaimed the moment items are no longer needed.

Note that automatic typechecking does not occur under pwa/p2js, that is desktop/Phix only (for the debugging stage) but you can invoke a type such as the above explicitly.

PicoLisp

We use (in addition to the header structure described in Doubly-linked list/Definition#PicoLisp) two cells per doubly-linked list element:

        +-----+-----+     +-----+-----+
        | Val |  ---+---> |  |  |  ---+---> next
        +-----+-----+     +--+--+-----+
                             |
                    prev <---+

With that, 'cddr' can be used to access the next, and 'cadr' to access the previous element.

(de 2tail (X DLst)
   (let L (cdr DLst)
      (con DLst (cons X L NIL))
      (if L
         (con (cdr L) (cdr DLst))
         (set DLst (cdr DLst)) ) ) )

(de 2head (X DLst)
   (let L (car DLst)                  # Get current data list
      (set DLst (cons X NIL L))       # Prepend two new cons pairs
      (if L                           # Unless DLst was empty
         (set (cdr L) (car DLst))     # set new 'prev' link
         (con DLst (car DLst)) ) ) )  # otherwise set 'end' link

# We prepend 'not' to the list in the previous example
(2head 'not *DLst)

For output of the example data, see Doubly-linked list/Traversal#PicoLisp.

Plain English

When you define a thing, you are defining a record as a doubly-linked list element. next and previous fields are implicitly added to the record that can be used to build and traverse a list.

An element is a thing with a number.

REXX doesn't have linked lists, as there are no pointers (or handles).
However, linked lists can be simulated with lists in REXX.

Ruby

Extending Singly-Linked List (element)#Ruby

class DListNode < ListNode
  attr_accessor :prev
  # accessors :succ and :value are inherited

  def initialize(value, prev=nil, succ=nil)
    @value = value
    @prev = prev
    @prev.succ = self if prev
    @succ = succ
    @succ.prev = self if succ
  end

  def self.from_values(*ary)
    ary << (f = ary.pop)
    ary.map! {|i| new i }
    ary.inject(f) {|p, c| p.succ = c; c.prev = p; c }
  end
end

list = DListNode.from_values 1,2,3,4

Rust

Simply using the standard library

use std::collections::LinkedList;
fn main() {
     // Doubly linked list containing 32-bit integers
     let list = LinkedList::<i32>::new();
}

The behind-the-scenes implementation

Doubly linked lists present a problem in Rust due to its ownership model. There cannot be two mutable references to the same object, so what are we to do? Below are the relevant lines (with added comments) from the std implementation (Documentation Source).

The standard library uses the (currently) unstable `Shared<T>` type which indicates that the ownership of its contained type has shared ownership. It is guaranteed not to be null, is variant over T (meaning that an &Shared<&'static T> may be used where a &Shared<&'a T> is expected, indicates to the compiler that it may own a T) and may be dereferenced to a mutable pointer (*mut T). All of the above may be accomplished in standard stable Rust, except for the non-null guarantee which allows the compiler to make a few extra optimizations.

pub struct LinkedList<T> {
    head: Option<Shared<Node<T>>>,
    tail: Option<Shared<Node<T>>>,
    len: usize,
    marker: PhantomData<Box<Node<T>>>, // Indicates that we logically own a boxed (owned pointer) Node<T>>
}

struct Node<T> {
    next: Option<Shared<Node<T>>>,
    prev: Option<Shared<Node<T>>>,
    element: T,
}

Sidef

var node = Hash.new(
     data => 'say what',
     next => foo_node,
     prev => bar_node,
);

node{:next} = quux_node;  # mutable

Swift

typealias NodePtr<T> = UnsafeMutablePointer<Node<T>>

class Node<T> {
  var value: T
  fileprivate var prev: NodePtr<T>?
  fileprivate var next: NodePtr<T>?

  init(value: T, prev: NodePtr<T>? = nil, next: NodePtr<T>? = nil) {
    self.value = value
    self.prev = prev
    self.next = next
  }
}

Tcl

Generally, this task should be accomplished in Tcl using list. Here we take an approach that's more comparable with the other examples on this page.
Works with: Tcl version 8.6

or

Library: TclOO
oo::class create List {
    variable content next prev
    constructor {value {list ""}} {
        set content $value
        set next $list
        set prev ""
        if {$next ne ""} {
            $next previous [self]
        }
    }
    method value args {
        set content {*}$args
    }
    method next args {
        set next {*}$args
    }
    method previous args {
        set prev {*}$args
    }
}

Visual Basic .NET

Public Class Node(Of T)
   Public Value As T
   Public [Next] As Node(Of T)
   Public Previous As Node(Of T)
End Class

Wren

Library: Wren-llist

The DNode class in the above module is the element type for the DLinkedList class which is a generic doubly-linked list. The latter is implemented in such a way that the user does not need to deal directly with DNode though for the purposes of the task we show below how instances of it can be created and manipulated.

import "./llist" for DNode

var dn1 = DNode.new(1)
var dn2 = DNode.new(2)
dn1.next = dn2
dn1.prev = null
dn2.prev = dn1
dn2.next = null
System.print(["node 1", "data = %(dn1.data)", "prev = %(dn1.prev)", "next = %(dn1.next)"])
System.print(["node 2", "data = %(dn2.data)", "prev = %(dn2.prev)", "next = %(dn2.next)"])
Output:
[node 1, data = 1, prev = null, next = 2]
[node 2, data = 2, prev = 1, next = null]

zkl

class Node{
   fcn init(_value,_prev=Void,_next=Void)
      { var value=_value, prev=_prev, next=_next; }
   fcn toString{ value.toString() }
}
a,b:=Node(1),Node("three");
a.next=b; b.prev=a;
println(a.next,"  ",b.prev);
Output:
