Hackerrank Collections Deque Solution
collections.deque()
A deque is a double-ended queue. It can be used to add or remove elements from both ends.
Deques support thread safe, memory efficient appends and pops from either side of the deque with approximately the same performance in either direction.

Example
Code
>>> from collections import deque
>>> d = deque()
>>> d.append(1)
>>> print d
deque([1])
>>> d.appendleft(2)
>>> print d
deque([2, 1])
>>> d.clear()
>>> print d
deque([])
>>> d.extend('1')
>>> print d
deque(['1'])
>>> d.extendleft('234')
>>> print d
deque(['4', '3', '2', '1'])
>>> d.count('1')
1
>>> d.pop()
'1'
>>> print d
deque(['4', '3', '2'])
>>> d.popleft()
'4'
>>> print d
deque(['3', '2'])
>>> d.extend('7896')
>>> print d
deque(['3', '2', '7', '8', '9', '6'])
>>> d.remove('2')
>>> print d
deque(['3', '7', '8', '9', '6'])
>>> d.reverse()
>>> print d
deque(['6', '9', '8', '7', '3'])
>>> d.rotate(3)
>>> print d
deque(['8', '7', '3', '6', '9'])
Task
Perform append, pop, popleft and appendleft methods on an empty deque .
Input Format
The first line contains an integer , the number of operations.
The next lines contains the space separated names of methods and their values.
Constraints
Output Format
Print the space separated elements of deque .
Sample Input
6
append 1
append 2
append 3
appendleft 4
pop
popleft
Sample Output
1 2
Solution in Python
from collections import deque
d = deque()
actions = {
"append":d.append,
"appendleft": d.appendleft,
"pop": d.pop,
"popleft": d.popleft
}
for i in range(int(input())):
action = input().split()
if len(action)>1:
x,y = action
actions[x](int(y))
else:
actions[action[0]]()
print(*d)
