echo("Elements of Deque\n");
  
// Display the Deque elements
print_r($deck);
  
// Use sort() function to sort
// the elements
$deck->sort();
   
echo("Sorted Deque\n");
  
// Display the Deque elements
print_r($deck);;
  
?>


Output:

Elements of Deque
Ds\Deque Object
(
    [0] => 5
    [1] => 6
    [2] => 3
    [3] => 2
    [4] => 7
    [5] => 1
)
Sorted Deque
Ds\Deque Object
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] => 2
    [2] => 3
    [3] => 5
    [4] => 6
    [5] => 7

Program 2:




<?php
  
// Declare a deque
$deck = new \Ds\Deque([5, 6, 3, 2, 7, 1]);
  
echo("Elements of Deque\n");
  
// Display the Deque elements
print_r($deck);
  
// comparator to sort in reverse order
$deck->sort(function($first, $second) {
    return $first <= $second;
});
   
echo("Sorted Deque\n");
  
// Display the Deque elements
print_r($deck);;
  
?>


Output:
