The doubly linked list is a list in which each node has three parts. one info part and two links part. one link part refers to the net node and the other link nodes refer to the previous node. As you see in the given below image first node’s previous link part is always none and the last node’s next link is always none.
Advantages
it can be traversed in both forward and backward directions. Implementation of some operations is easier, like insertion, and deletion can be done with only a single reference.
Disadvantages
Extra space is required for storing the previous link. While inserting and deleting some extra steps are required to maintain the previous link.
