# Linked List Implement a doubly linked list. Like an array, a linked list is a simple linear data structure. Several common data types can be implemented using linked lists, like queues, stacks, and associative arrays. A linked list is a collection of data elements called *nodes*. In a *singly linked list* each node holds a value and a link to the next node. In a *doubly linked list* each node also holds a link to the previous node. You will write an implementation of a doubly linked list. Implement a Node to hold a value and pointers to the next and previous nodes. Then implement a List which holds references to the first and last node and offers an array-like interface for adding and removing items: * `push` (*insert value at back*); * `pop` (*remove value at back*); * `shift` (*remove value at front*). * `unshift` (*insert value at front*); To keep your implementation simple, the tests will not cover error conditions. Specifically: `pop` or `shift` will never be called on an empty list. If you want to know more about linked lists, check [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_list). ## Setup Go through the setup instructions for JavaScript to install the necessary dependencies: http://exercism.io/languages/javascript/installation ## Running the test suite The provided test suite uses [Jasmine](https://jasmine.github.io/). You can install it by opening a terminal window and running the following command: ```sh npm install -g jasmine ``` Run the test suite from the exercise directory with: ```sh jasmine linked-list.spec.js ``` In many test suites all but the first test have been marked "pending". Once you get a test passing, activate the next one by changing `xit` to `it`. ## Source Classic computer science topic ## Submitting Incomplete Solutions It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
