Circular Doubly Linked List has properties of both doubly linked list and circular linked list in which two consecutive elements are linked or connected by the previous and next pointer and the last node points to the first node by the next pointer and also the first node points to the last node by the previous pointer.
Following is the representation of a Circular doubly linked list node in C/C++:Â
C++
static class node {Â Â int data;Â
  // pointer to next node  node next;Â
  // pointer to prev node  node prev;}  // This code is contributed by Yash Agarwal(yashagarwal2852002) |
C
// Structure of the nodestruct node {Â Â Â Â int data;Â
    // Pointer to next node    struct node* next;Â
    // Pointer to previous node    struct node* prev;}; |
C#
public class Node {    public int Data    {        get;        set;    }    public Node Next    {        get;        set;    }    public Node Prev    {        get;        set;    }}Â
public class DoublyLinkedList {    // The Doubly Linked List can be implemented here.    // You can create instances of Node to build your list.} |

Circular Doubly Linked LIst
Insertion in Circular Doubly Linked List:
1. Insertion at the end of the list or in an empty list:
A node(Say N) is inserted with data = 5. So, the previous pointer of N points to N and the next pointer of N also points to N. But now start pointer points to the first node of the list.
Insertion in an empty list
2. List initially contains some nodes, start points to the first node of the List:Â
A node(Say M) is inserted with data = 7, so the previous pointer of M points to the last node, the next pointer of M points to the first node and the last node’s next pointer points to this M node, and first node’s previous pointer points to this M node.
Insertion at the end of list
Below is the implementation of the above operations:
C++
// Function to insert at the endvoid insertEnd(struct Node** start, int value){    // If the list is empty, create a single node    // circular and doubly list    if (*start == NULL) {        struct Node* new_node = new Node;        new_node->data = value;        new_node->next = new_node->prev = new_node;        *start = new_node;        return;    }Â
    // If list is not emptyÂ
    /* Find last node */    Node* last = (*start)->prev;Â
    // Create Node dynamically    struct Node* new_node = new Node;    new_node->data = value;Â
    // Start is going to be next of new_node    new_node->next = *start;Â
    // Make new node previous of start    (*start)->prev = new_node;Â
    // Make last previous of new node    new_node->prev = last;Â
    // Make new node next of old last    last->next = new_node;} |
Java
// Function to insert at the endstatic void insertEnd(int value){Â
    // If the list is empty, create a single    // node circular and doubly list    if (start == null) {        Node new_node = new Node();        new_node.data = value;        new_node.next = new_node.prev = new_node;        start = new_node;        return;    }Â
    // If list is not emptyÂ
    // Find last node    Node last = (start).prev;Â
    // Create Node dynamically    Node new_node = new Node();    new_node.data = value;Â
    // Start is going to be    // next of new_node    new_node.next = start;Â
    // Make new node previous of start    (start).prev = new_node;Â
    // Make last previous of new node    new_node.prev = last;Â
    // Make new node next of old last    last.next = new_node;}Â

3. Insertion at the beginning of the list:Â
To insert a node at the beginning of the list, create a node(Say T) with data = 5, T next pointer points to the first node of the list, T previous pointer points to the last node of the list, last node’s next pointer points to this T node, first node’s previous pointer also points this T node and at last don’t forget to shift ‘Start’ pointer to this T node.
Insertion at the beginning of the list
Below is the implementation of the above operation:
C++
// Function to insert Node at the beginning// of the List,void insertBegin(struct Node** start, int value){    // Pointer points to last Node    struct Node* last = (*start)->prev;Â
    struct Node* new_node = new Node;    new_node->data = value; // Inserting the dataÂ
    // setting up previous and next of new node    new_node->next = *start;    new_node->prev = last;Â
    // Update next and previous pointers of start    // and last.    last->next = (*start)->prev = new_node;Â
    // Update start pointer    *start = new_node;} |
Java
// Function to insert Node at the beginning// of the List,static void insertBegin(int value){    // Pointer points to last Node    Node last = (start).prev;Â
    Node new_node = new Node();    new_node.data = value; // Inserting the dataÂ
    // setting up previous and next of new node    new_node.next = start;    new_node.prev = last;Â
    // Update next and previous pointers of start    // and last.    last.next = (start).prev = new_node;Â
    // Update start pointer    start = new_node;}Â
// this code is contributed by shivanisinghss2110 |
Python3

Â
def insertBegin(value):Â Â Â Â global startÂ
    # Pointer points to last Node    last = (start).prevÂ
    new_node = Node(0)    new_node.data = value # Inserting the dataÂ
    # setting up previous and    # next of new node    new_node.next = start    new_node.prev = lastÂ
    # Update next and previous pointers    # of start and last.    last.next = (start).prev = new_nodeÂ

C#
// Function to insert Node at the beginning// of the List,static void insertBegin(int value){Â
    // Pointer points to last Node    Node last = (start).prev;Â
    Node new_node = new Node();    new_node.data = value; // Inserting the dataÂ
    // setting up previous and next of new node    new_node.next = start;    new_node.prev = last;Â
    // Update next and previous pointers of start    // and last.    last.next = (start).prev = new_node;Â

        // Update start pointer        start = new_node;      }             // This code is contributed by shivanisinghss2110 |
4. Insertion in between the nodes of the list:Â
To insert a node in between the list, two data values are required one after which new node will be inserted and another is the data of the new node.
Insertion in between other nodes
Below is the implementation of the above operation:
C++
// Function to insert node with value as value1.// The new node is inserted after the node with// with value2void insertAfter(struct Node** start, int value1,                 int value2){    struct Node* new_node = new Node;    new_node->data = value1; // Inserting the dataÂ
    // Find node having value2 and next node of it    struct Node* temp = *start;    while (temp->data != value2)        temp = temp->next;    struct Node* next = temp->next;Â
    // insert new_node between temp and next.    temp->next = new_node;    new_node->prev = temp;    new_node->next = next;    next->prev = new_node;} |
Java
// Function to insert node with value as value1.// The new node is inserted after the node with// with value2static void insertAfter(int value1, int value2){Â Â Â Â Node new_node = new Node();Â Â Â Â new_node.data = value1; // Inserting the dataÂ
    // Find node having value2 and next node of it    Node temp = start;    while (temp.data != value2)        temp = temp.next;    Node next = temp.next;Â
    // insert new_node between temp and next.    temp.next = new_node;    new_node.prev = temp;    new_node.next = next;    next.prev = new_node;}Â
// this code is contributed by shivanisinghss2110 |
Python3
# Function to insert node with value as value1.# The new node is inserted after the node with# with value2Â
Â
def insertAfter(value1, value2):    global start    new_node = Node(0)    new_node.data = value1 # Inserting the dataÂ
    # Find node having value2 and    # next node of it    temp = start    while (temp.data != value2):        temp = temp.next    next = temp.nextÂ
    # insert new_node between temp and next.    temp.next = new_node    new_node.prev = temp    new_node.next = next    next.prev = new_nodeÂ
# this code is contributed by shivanisinghss2110 |
C#
// Function to insert node with value as value1.// The new node is inserted after the node with// with value2static void insertAfter(int value1, int value2){Â Â Â Â Node new_node = new Node();Â Â Â Â new_node.data = value1; // Inserting the dataÂ
    // Find node having value2 and next node of it    Node temp = start;    while (temp.data != value2)        temp = temp.next;    Node next = temp.next;Â
    // insert new_node between temp and next.    temp.next = new_node;    new_node.prev = temp;    new_node.next = next;    next.prev = new_node;}Â

// Function to insert node with value as value1.// The new node is inserted after the node with// with value2function insertAfter(value1, value2) {    var new_node = new Node();         // Inserting the data    new_node.data = value1; Â
    // Find node having value2 and    // next node of it    var temp = start;    while (temp.data != value2)         temp = temp.next;             var next = temp.next;Â
    // Insert new_node between temp and next.    temp.next = new_node;    new_node.prev = temp;    new_node.next = next;    next.prev = new_node;}       // This code is contributed by shivanisinghss2110Â

Output
Created circular doubly linked list is: Traversal in forward direction 4 5 6 7 8 Traversal in reverse direction 8 7 6 5 4
Time Complexity: O(N)
Auxiliary Space: O(1), As constant extra space is used.
Advantages of circular doubly linked list:Â
- The list can be traversed from both directions i.e. from head to tail or from tail to head.
- Jumping from head to tail or from tail to head is done in constant time O(1).
- Circular Doubly Linked Lists are used for the implementation of advanced data structures like the Fibonacci Heap.
Disadvantages of circular doubly linked list:Â
- It takes slightly extra memory in each node to accommodate the previous pointer.
- Lots of pointers are involved while implementing or doing operations on a list. So, pointers should be handled carefully otherwise data of the list may get lost.
Applications of Circular doubly linked list:
- Managing song playlists in media player applications.
- Managing shopping carts in online shopping.
