Java Program on Dequeue
Dequeue or Double Ended Queue is a generalized version of Queue data structure that allows insert and delete at both ends.

Operations on Deque:
Mainly the following four basic operations are performed on queue:
insertFront(): Adds an item at the front of Deque.
insertRear(): Adds an item at the rear of Deque.
deleteFront(): Deletes an item from front of Deque.
deleteRear(): Deletes an item from rear of Deque.
In addition to above operations, following operations are also supported
getFront(): Gets the front item from queue.
getRear(): Gets the last item from queue.
isEmpty(): Checks whether Deque is empty or not.
isFull(): Checks whether Deque is full or not.
Array implementation dequeue
For implementing deque, we need to keep track of two indices, front and rear. We enqueue(push) an item at the rear or the front end of Dequeue and dequeue(pop) an item from both rear and front end.
Working
1. Create an empty array ‘arr’ of size ‘n’
initialize front = -1 , rear = 0
Inserting First element in deque either front end or read end they both lead to the same result.

After insert Front = 0 and Rear = 0
Insert Elements at Rear end
a). First we check deque if Full or Not
b). IF Rear == Size-1
then reinitialize Rear = 0 ;
Else increment Rear by ‘1’
and push current key into Arr[ rear ] = key
Front remain same.
Insert Elements at Front end
a). First we check deque if Full or Not
b). IF Front == 0 || initial position, move Front
to points last index of array
front = size – 1
Else decremented front by ‘1’ and push
current key into Arr[ Front] = key
Rear remain same.

Delete Element From Rear end
a). First Check deque is Empty or Not
b). If deque has only one element
front = -1 ; rear =-1 ;
Else IF Rear points to the first index of array
it’s means we have to move rear to points
last index [ now first inserted element at
front end become rear end ]
rear = size-1 ;
Else || decrease rear by ‘1’
rear = rear-1;
Delete Element From Front end
a). First Check deque is Empty or Not
b). If deque has only one element
front = -1 ; rear =-1 ;
Else IF front points to the last index of the array
it’s means we have no more elements in array so
we move front to points first index of array
front = 0 ;
Else || increment Front by ‘1’
front = front+1;
