The document discusses the deque collection in Python. Some key points:
- Deque allows fast appends and pops from either side of the list, with O(1) time complexity, unlike regular lists which are slow (O(n)) for pop(0) and insert(0,v).
- Deque provides methods like append, appendleft, popleft, pop for adding/removing elements from either side of the list.
- It can be initialized with a maximum length to act as a sliding window, discarding old elements as new ones are added.
- Methods like rotate rotate the deque a given number of positions, extending adds multiple elements at once. Deque is useful when
