<?php
  
// Declare deque
$deck = new \Ds\Deque([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
  
echo("Elements in the Deque\n");
  
// Display the Deque elements
var_dump($deck);
  
// Use copy() function to 
// copy the Deque
$deck_copy = $deck->copy();
  
echo("\nCopy Deque elements\n");
  
// Display the Deque elements
var_dump($deck_copy);
  
?>


Output:

Elements in the Deque
object(Ds\Deque)#1 (6) {
  [0]=>
  int(1)
  [1]=>
  int(2)
  [2]=>
  int(3)
  [3]=>
  int(4)
  [4]=>
  int(5)
  [5]=>
  int(6)
}

// Declare deque
$deck = new \Ds\Deque(["neveropen", "for", "neveropen"]);

// Display the Deque elements
print_r($deck);
  
// Use copy() function to 
// copy the Deque
$deck_copy = $deck->copy();
  
echo("\nCopy Deque elements\n");
  
// Display the Deque elements
