Problem

Design your implementation of the circular double-ended queue (deque). Implement the MyCircularDeque class:
  • MyCircularDeque(int k) Initializes the deque with a maximum size of k.
  • boolean insertFront() Adds an item at the front of Deque. Returns true if the operation is successful, or false otherwise.
  • boolean insertLast() Adds an item at the rear of Deque. Returns true if the operation is successful, or false otherwise.
  • boolean deleteFront() Deletes an item from the front of Deque. Returns true if the operation is successful, or false otherwise.
  • boolean deleteLast() Deletes an item from the rear of Deque. Returns true if the operation is successful, or false otherwise.
  • int getFront() Returns the front item from the Deque. Returns -1 if the deque is empty.
  • int getRear() Returns the last item from Deque. Returns -1 if the deque is empty.
  • boolean isEmpty() Returns true if the deque is empty, or false otherwise.
  • boolean isFull() Returns true if the deque is full, or false otherwise.

Examples

Constraints

  • 1 <= k <= 1000
  • 0 <= value <= 1000
  • At most 2000 calls will be made to insertFront, insertLast, deleteFront, deleteLast, getFront, getRear, isEmpty, isFull.
