pub struct VecDeque<T, A = Global>where
    A: Allocator,{ /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A double-ended queue implemented with a growable ring buffer.

The “default” usage of this type as a queue is to use push_back to add to the queue, and pop_front to remove from the queue. extend and append push onto the back in this manner, and iterating over VecDeque goes front to back.

A VecDeque with a known list of items can be initialized from an array:

use std::collections::VecDeque;

let deq = VecDeque::from([-1, 0, 1]);
Run

Since VecDeque is a ring buffer, its elements are not necessarily contiguous in memory. If you want to access the elements as a single slice, such as for efficient sorting, you can use make_contiguous. It rotates the VecDeque so that its elements do not wrap, and returns a mutable slice to the now-contiguous element sequence.

Implementations§

Creates an empty deque.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let deque: VecDeque<u32> = VecDeque::new();
Run

Creates an empty deque with space for at least capacity elements.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let deque: VecDeque<u32> = VecDeque::with_capacity(10);
Run
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api #32838)

Creates an empty deque.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let deque: VecDeque<u32> = VecDeque::new();
Run
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api #32838)

Creates an empty deque with space for at least capacity elements.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let deque: VecDeque<u32> = VecDeque::with_capacity(10);
Run

Provides a reference to the element at the given index.

Element at index 0 is the front of the queue.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
buf.push_back(3);
buf.push_back(4);
buf.push_back(5);
buf.push_back(6);
assert_eq!(buf.get(1), Some(&4));
Run

Provides a mutable reference to the element at the given index.

Element at index 0 is the front of the queue.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
buf.push_back(3);
buf.push_back(4);
buf.push_back(5);
buf.push_back(6);
assert_eq!(buf[1], 4);
if let Some(elem) = buf.get_mut(1) {
    *elem = 7;
}
assert_eq!(buf[1], 7);
Run

Swaps elements at indices i and j.

i and j may be equal.

Element at index 0 is the front of the queue.

Panics

Panics if either index is out of bounds.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
buf.push_back(3);
buf.push_back(4);
buf.push_back(5);
assert_eq!(buf, [3, 4, 5]);
buf.swap(0, 2);
assert_eq!(buf, [5, 4, 3]);
Run

Returns the number of elements the deque can hold without reallocating.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let buf: VecDeque<i32> = VecDeque::with_capacity(10);
assert!(buf.capacity() >= 10);
Run

Reserves the minimum capacity for at least additional more elements to be inserted in the given deque. Does nothing if the capacity is already sufficient.

Note that the allocator may give the collection more space than it requests. Therefore capacity can not be relied upon to be precisely minimal. Prefer reserve if future insertions are expected.

Panics

Panics if the new capacity overflows usize.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf: VecDeque<i32> = [1].into();
buf.reserve_exact(10);
assert!(buf.capacity() >= 11);
Run

Reserves capacity for at least additional more elements to be inserted in the given deque. The collection may reserve more space to speculatively avoid frequent reallocations.

Panics

Panics if the new capacity overflows usize.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf: VecDeque<i32> = [1].into();
buf.reserve(10);
assert!(buf.capacity() >= 11);
Run

Tries to reserve the minimum capacity for at least additional more elements to be inserted in the given deque. After calling try_reserve_exact, capacity will be greater than or equal to self.len() + additional if it returns Ok(()). Does nothing if the capacity is already sufficient.

Note that the allocator may give the collection more space than it requests. Therefore, capacity can not be relied upon to be precisely minimal. Prefer try_reserve if future insertions are expected.

Errors

If the capacity overflows usize, or the allocator reports a failure, then an error is returned.

Examples
use std::collections::TryReserveError;
use std::collections::VecDeque;

fn process_data(data: &[u32]) -> Result<VecDeque<u32>, TryReserveError> {
    let mut output = VecDeque::new();

    // Pre-reserve the memory, exiting if we can't
    output.try_reserve_exact(data.len())?;

    // Now we know this can't OOM(Out-Of-Memory) in the middle of our complex work
    output.extend(data.iter().map(|&val| {
        val * 2 + 5 // very complicated
    }));

    Ok(output)
}
Run

Tries to reserve capacity for at least additional more elements to be inserted in the given deque. The collection may reserve more space to speculatively avoid frequent reallocations. After calling try_reserve, capacity will be greater than or equal to self.len() + additional if it returns Ok(()). Does nothing if capacity is already sufficient. This method preserves the contents even if an error occurs.

Errors

If the capacity overflows usize, or the allocator reports a failure, then an error is returned.

Examples
use std::collections::TryReserveError;
use std::collections::VecDeque;

fn process_data(data: &[u32]) -> Result<VecDeque<u32>, TryReserveError> {
    let mut output = VecDeque::new();

    // Pre-reserve the memory, exiting if we can't
    output.try_reserve(data.len())?;

    // Now we know this can't OOM in the middle of our complex work
    output.extend(data.iter().map(|&val| {
        val * 2 + 5 // very complicated
    }));

    Ok(output)
}
Run

Shrinks the capacity of the deque as much as possible.

It will drop down as close as possible to the length but the allocator may still inform the deque that there is space for a few more elements.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::with_capacity(15);
buf.extend(0..4);
assert_eq!(buf.capacity(), 15);
buf.shrink_to_fit();
assert!(buf.capacity() >= 4);
Run

Shrinks the capacity of the deque with a lower bound.

The capacity will remain at least as large as both the length and the supplied value.

If the current capacity is less than the lower limit, this is a no-op.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::with_capacity(15);
buf.extend(0..4);
assert_eq!(buf.capacity(), 15);
buf.shrink_to(6);
assert!(buf.capacity() >= 6);
buf.shrink_to(0);
assert!(buf.capacity() >= 4);
Run

Shortens the deque, keeping the first len elements and dropping the rest.

If len is greater than the deque’s current length, this has no effect.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
buf.push_back(5);
buf.push_back(10);
buf.push_back(15);
assert_eq!(buf, [5, 10, 15]);
buf.truncate(1);
assert_eq!(buf, [5]);
Run
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api #32838)

Returns a reference to the underlying allocator.

Returns a front-to-back iterator.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
buf.push_back(5);
buf.push_back(3);
buf.push_back(4);
let b: &[_] = &[&5, &3, &4];
let c: Vec<&i32> = buf.iter().collect();
assert_eq!(&c[..], b);
Run

Returns a front-to-back iterator that returns mutable references.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
buf.push_back(5);
buf.push_back(3);
buf.push_back(4);
for num in buf.iter_mut() {
    *num = *num - 2;
}
let b: &[_] = &[&mut 3, &mut 1, &mut 2];
assert_eq!(&buf.iter_mut().collect::<Vec<&mut i32>>()[..], b);
Run

Returns a pair of slices which contain, in order, the contents of the deque.

If make_contiguous was previously called, all elements of the deque will be in the first slice and the second slice will be empty.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut deque = VecDeque::new();

deque.push_back(0);
deque.push_back(1);
deque.push_back(2);

assert_eq!(deque.as_slices(), (&[0, 1, 2][..], &[][..]));

deque.push_front(10);
deque.push_front(9);

assert_eq!(deque.as_slices(), (&[9, 10][..], &[0, 1, 2][..]));
Run

Returns a pair of slices which contain, in order, the contents of the deque.

If make_contiguous was previously called, all elements of the deque will be in the first slice and the second slice will be empty.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut deque = VecDeque::new();

deque.push_back(0);
deque.push_back(1);

deque.push_front(10);
deque.push_front(9);

deque.as_mut_slices().0[0] = 42;
deque.as_mut_slices().1[0] = 24;
assert_eq!(deque.as_slices(), (&[42, 10][..], &[24, 1][..]));
Run

Returns the number of elements in the deque.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut deque = VecDeque::new();
assert_eq!(deque.len(), 0);
deque.push_back(1);
assert_eq!(deque.len(), 1);
Run

Returns true if the deque is empty.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut deque = VecDeque::new();
assert!(deque.is_empty());
deque.push_front(1);
assert!(!deque.is_empty());
Run

Creates an iterator that covers the specified range in the deque.

Panics

Panics if the starting point is greater than the end point or if the end point is greater than the length of the deque.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let deque: VecDeque<_> = [1, 2, 3].into();
let range = deque.range(2..).copied().collect::<VecDeque<_>>();
assert_eq!(range, [3]);

// A full range covers all contents
let all = deque.range(..);
assert_eq!(all.len(), 3);
Run

Creates an iterator that covers the specified mutable range in the deque.

Panics

Panics if the starting point is greater than the end point or if the end point is greater than the length of the deque.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut deque: VecDeque<_> = [1, 2, 3].into();
for v in deque.range_mut(2..) {
  *v *= 2;
}
assert_eq!(deque, [1, 2, 6]);

// A full range covers all contents
for v in deque.range_mut(..) {
  *v *= 2;
}
assert_eq!(deque, [2, 4, 12]);
Run

Removes the specified range from the deque in bulk, returning all removed elements as an iterator. If the iterator is dropped before being fully consumed, it drops the remaining removed elements.

The returned iterator keeps a mutable borrow on the queue to optimize its implementation.

Panics

Panics if the starting point is greater than the end point or if the end point is greater than the length of the deque.

Leaking

If the returned iterator goes out of scope without being dropped (due to mem::forget, for example), the deque may have lost and leaked elements arbitrarily, including elements outside the range.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut deque: VecDeque<_> = [1, 2, 3].into();
let drained = deque.drain(2..).collect::<VecDeque<_>>();
assert_eq!(drained, [3]);
assert_eq!(deque, [1, 2]);

// A full range clears all contents, like `clear()` does
deque.drain(..);
assert!(deque.is_empty());
Run

Clears the deque, removing all values.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut deque = VecDeque::new();
deque.push_back(1);
deque.clear();
assert!(deque.is_empty());
Run

Returns true if the deque contains an element equal to the given value.

This operation is O(n).

Note that if you have a sorted VecDeque, binary_search may be faster.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut deque: VecDeque<u32> = VecDeque::new();

deque.push_back(0);
deque.push_back(1);

assert_eq!(deque.contains(&1), true);
assert_eq!(deque.contains(&10), false);
Run

Provides a reference to the front element, or None if the deque is empty.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut d = VecDeque::new();
assert_eq!(d.front(), None);

d.push_back(1);
d.push_back(2);
assert_eq!(d.front(), Some(&1));
Run

Provides a mutable reference to the front element, or None if the deque is empty.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut d = VecDeque::new();
assert_eq!(d.front_mut(), None);

d.push_back(1);
d.push_back(2);
match d.front_mut() {
    Some(x) => *x = 9,
    None => (),
}
assert_eq!(d.front(), Some(&9));
Run

Provides a reference to the back element, or None if the deque is empty.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut d = VecDeque::new();
assert_eq!(d.back(), None);

d.push_back(1);
d.push_back(2);
assert_eq!(d.back(), Some(&2));
Run

Provides a mutable reference to the back element, or None if the deque is empty.

Examples

let mut d = VecDeque::new();
assert_eq!(d.back(), None);

d.push_back(1);
d.push_back(2);
match d.back_mut() {
    Some(x) => *x = 9,
    None => (),
}
assert_eq!(d.back(), Some(&9));
Run

Removes the first element and returns it, or None if the deque is empty.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut d = VecDeque::new();
d.push_back(1);
d.push_back(2);

assert_eq!(d.pop_front(), Some(1));
assert_eq!(d.pop_front(), Some(2));
assert_eq!(d.pop_front(), None);
Run

Removes the last element from the deque and returns it, or None if it is empty.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
assert_eq!(buf.pop_back(), None);
buf.push_back(1);
buf.push_back(3);
assert_eq!(buf.pop_back(), Some(3));
Run

Prepends an element to the deque.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut d = VecDeque::new();
d.push_front(1);
d.push_front(2);
assert_eq!(d.front(), Some(&2));
Run

Appends an element to the back of the deque.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
buf.push_back(1);
buf.push_back(3);
assert_eq!(3, *buf.back().unwrap());
Run

Removes an element from anywhere in the deque and returns it, replacing it with the first element.

This does not preserve ordering, but is O(1).

Returns None if index is out of bounds.

Element at index 0 is the front of the queue.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
assert_eq!(buf.swap_remove_front(0), None);
buf.push_back(1);
buf.push_back(2);
buf.push_back(3);
assert_eq!(buf, [1, 2, 3]);

assert_eq!(buf.swap_remove_front(2), Some(3));
assert_eq!(buf, [2, 1]);
Run

Removes an element from anywhere in the deque and returns it, replacing it with the last element.

This does not preserve ordering, but is O(1).

Returns None if index is out of bounds.

Element at index 0 is the front of the queue.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
assert_eq!(buf.swap_remove_back(0), None);
buf.push_back(1);
buf.push_back(2);
buf.push_back(3);
assert_eq!(buf, [1, 2, 3]);

assert_eq!(buf.swap_remove_back(0), Some(1));
assert_eq!(buf, [3, 2]);
Run

Inserts an element at index within the deque, shifting all elements with indices greater than or equal to index towards the back.

Element at index 0 is the front of the queue.

Panics

Panics if index is greater than deque’s length

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut vec_deque = VecDeque::new();
vec_deque.push_back('a');
vec_deque.push_back('b');
vec_deque.push_back('c');
assert_eq!(vec_deque, &['a', 'b', 'c']);

vec_deque.insert(1, 'd');
assert_eq!(vec_deque, &['a', 'd', 'b', 'c']);
Run

Removes and returns the element at index from the deque. Whichever end is closer to the removal point will be moved to make room, and all the affected elements will be moved to new positions. Returns None if index is out of bounds.

Element at index 0 is the front of the queue.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
buf.push_back(1);
buf.push_back(2);
buf.push_back(3);
assert_eq!(buf, [1, 2, 3]);

assert_eq!(buf.remove(1), Some(2));
assert_eq!(buf, [1, 3]);
Run

Splits the deque into two at the given index.

Returns a newly allocated VecDeque. self contains elements [0, at), and the returned deque contains elements [at, len).

Note that the capacity of self does not change.

Element at index 0 is the front of the queue.

Panics

Panics if at > len.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf: VecDeque<_> = [1, 2, 3].into();
let buf2 = buf.split_off(1);
assert_eq!(buf, [1]);
assert_eq!(buf2, [2, 3]);
Run

Moves all the elements of other into self, leaving other empty.

Panics

Panics if the new number of elements in self overflows a usize.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf: VecDeque<_> = [1, 2].into();
let mut buf2: VecDeque<_> = [3, 4].into();
buf.append(&mut buf2);
assert_eq!(buf, [1, 2, 3, 4]);
assert_eq!(buf2, []);
Run

Retains only the elements specified by the predicate.

In other words, remove all elements e for which f(&e) returns false. This method operates in place, visiting each element exactly once in the original order, and preserves the order of the retained elements.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
buf.extend(1..5);
buf.retain(|&x| x % 2 == 0);
assert_eq!(buf, [2, 4]);
Run

Because the elements are visited exactly once in the original order, external state may be used to decide which elements to keep.

use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
buf.extend(1..6);

let keep = [false, true, true, false, true];
let mut iter = keep.iter();
buf.retain(|_| *iter.next().unwrap());
assert_eq!(buf, [2, 3, 5]);
Run

Retains only the elements specified by the predicate.

In other words, remove all elements e for which f(&e) returns false. This method operates in place, visiting each element exactly once in the original order, and preserves the order of the retained elements.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
buf.extend(1..5);
buf.retain_mut(|x| if *x % 2 == 0 {
    *x += 1;
    true
} else {
    false
});
assert_eq!(buf, [3, 5]);
Run

Modifies the deque in-place so that len() is equal to new_len, either by removing excess elements from the back or by appending elements generated by calling generator to the back.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
buf.push_back(5);
buf.push_back(10);
buf.push_back(15);
assert_eq!(buf, [5, 10, 15]);

buf.resize_with(5, Default::default);
assert_eq!(buf, [5, 10, 15, 0, 0]);

buf.resize_with(2, || unreachable!());
assert_eq!(buf, [5, 10]);

let mut state = 100;
buf.resize_with(5, || { state += 1; state });
assert_eq!(buf, [5, 10, 101, 102, 103]);
Run

Rearranges the internal storage of this deque so it is one contiguous slice, which is then returned.

This method does not allocate and does not change the order of the inserted elements. As it returns a mutable slice, this can be used to sort a deque.

Once the internal storage is contiguous, the as_slices and as_mut_slices methods will return the entire contents of the deque in a single slice.

Examples

Sorting the content of a deque.

use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::with_capacity(15);

buf.push_back(2);
buf.push_back(1);
buf.push_front(3);

// sorting the deque
buf.make_contiguous().sort();
assert_eq!(buf.as_slices(), (&[1, 2, 3] as &[_], &[] as &[_]));

// sorting it in reverse order
buf.make_contiguous().sort_by(|a, b| b.cmp(a));
assert_eq!(buf.as_slices(), (&[3, 2, 1] as &[_], &[] as &[_]));
Run

Getting immutable access to the contiguous slice.

use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();

buf.push_back(2);
buf.push_back(1);
buf.push_front(3);

buf.make_contiguous();
if let (slice, &[]) = buf.as_slices() {
    // we can now be sure that `slice` contains all elements of the deque,
    // while still having immutable access to `buf`.
    assert_eq!(buf.len(), slice.len());
    assert_eq!(slice, &[3, 2, 1] as &[_]);
}
Run

Rotates the double-ended queue mid places to the left.

Equivalently,

  • Rotates item mid into the first position.
  • Pops the first mid items and pushes them to the end.
  • Rotates len() - mid places to the right.
Panics

If mid is greater than len(). Note that mid == len() does not panic and is a no-op rotation.

Complexity

Takes *O*(min(mid, len() - mid)) time and no extra space.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf: VecDeque<_> = (0..10).collect();

buf.rotate_left(3);
assert_eq!(buf, [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 1, 2]);

for i in 1..10 {
    assert_eq!(i * 3 % 10, buf[0]);
    buf.rotate_left(3);
}
assert_eq!(buf, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]);
Run

Rotates the double-ended queue k places to the right.

Equivalently,

  • Rotates the first item into position k.
  • Pops the last k items and pushes them to the front.
  • Rotates len() - k places to the left.
Panics

If k is greater than len(). Note that k == len() does not panic and is a no-op rotation.

Complexity

Takes *O*(min(k, len() - k)) time and no extra space.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf: VecDeque<_> = (0..10).collect();

buf.rotate_right(3);
assert_eq!(buf, [7, 8, 9, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);

for i in 1..10 {
    assert_eq!(0, buf[i * 3 % 10]);
    buf.rotate_right(3);
}
assert_eq!(buf, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]);
Run

Binary searches this VecDeque for a given element. This behaves similarly to contains if this VecDeque is sorted.

If the value is found then Result::Ok is returned, containing the index of the matching element. If there are multiple matches, then any one of the matches could be returned. If the value is not found then Result::Err is returned, containing the index where a matching element could be inserted while maintaining sorted order.

See also binary_search_by, binary_search_by_key, and partition_point.

Examples

Looks up a series of four elements. The first is found, with a uniquely determined position; the second and third are not found; the fourth could match any position in [1, 4].

use std::collections::VecDeque;

let deque: VecDeque<_> = [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55].into();

assert_eq!(deque.binary_search(&13),  Ok(9));
assert_eq!(deque.binary_search(&4),   Err(7));
assert_eq!(deque.binary_search(&100), Err(13));
let r = deque.binary_search(&1);
assert!(matches!(r, Ok(1..=4)));
Run

If you want to insert an item to a sorted deque, while maintaining sort order, consider using partition_point:

use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut deque: VecDeque<_> = [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55].into();
let num = 42;
let idx = deque.partition_point(|&x| x < num);
// The above is equivalent to `let idx = deque.binary_search(&num).unwrap_or_else(|x| x);`
deque.insert(idx, num);
assert_eq!(deque, &[0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 42, 55]);
Run

Binary searches this VecDeque with a comparator function. This behaves similarly to contains if this VecDeque is sorted.

The comparator function should implement an order consistent with the sort order of the deque, returning an order code that indicates whether its argument is Less, Equal or Greater than the desired target.

If the value is found then Result::Ok is returned, containing the index of the matching element. If there are multiple matches, then any one of the matches could be returned. If the value is not found then Result::Err is returned, containing the index where a matching element could be inserted while maintaining sorted order.

See also binary_search, binary_search_by_key, and partition_point.

Examples

Looks up a series of four elements. The first is found, with a uniquely determined position; the second and third are not found; the fourth could match any position in [1, 4].

use std::collections::VecDeque;

let deque: VecDeque<_> = [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55].into();

assert_eq!(deque.binary_search_by(|x| x.cmp(&13)),  Ok(9));
assert_eq!(deque.binary_search_by(|x| x.cmp(&4)),   Err(7));
assert_eq!(deque.binary_search_by(|x| x.cmp(&100)), Err(13));
let r = deque.binary_search_by(|x| x.cmp(&1));
assert!(matches!(r, Ok(1..=4)));
Run

Binary searches this VecDeque with a key extraction function. This behaves similarly to contains if this VecDeque is sorted.

Assumes that the deque is sorted by the key, for instance with make_contiguous().sort_by_key() using the same key extraction function.

If the value is found then Result::Ok is returned, containing the index of the matching element. If there are multiple matches, then any one of the matches could be returned. If the value is not found then Result::Err is returned, containing the index where a matching element could be inserted while maintaining sorted order.

See also binary_search, binary_search_by, and partition_point.

Examples

Looks up a series of four elements in a slice of pairs sorted by their second elements. The first is found, with a uniquely determined position; the second and third are not found; the fourth could match any position in [1, 4].

use std::collections::VecDeque;

let deque: VecDeque<_> = [(0, 0), (2, 1), (4, 1), (5, 1),
         (3, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3), (4, 5), (5, 8), (3, 13),
         (1, 21), (2, 34), (4, 55)].into();

assert_eq!(deque.binary_search_by_key(&13, |&(a, b)| b),  Ok(9));
assert_eq!(deque.binary_search_by_key(&4, |&(a, b)| b),   Err(7));
assert_eq!(deque.binary_search_by_key(&100, |&(a, b)| b), Err(13));
let r = deque.binary_search_by_key(&1, |&(a, b)| b);
assert!(matches!(r, Ok(1..=4)));
Run

Returns the index of the partition point according to the given predicate (the index of the first element of the second partition).

The deque is assumed to be partitioned according to the given predicate. This means that all elements for which the predicate returns true are at the start of the deque and all elements for which the predicate returns false are at the end. For example, [7, 15, 3, 5, 4, 12, 6] is partitioned under the predicate x % 2 != 0 (all odd numbers are at the start, all even at the end).

If the deque is not partitioned, the returned result is unspecified and meaningless, as this method performs a kind of binary search.

See also binary_search, binary_search_by, and binary_search_by_key.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let deque: VecDeque<_> = [1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 6, 7].into();
let i = deque.partition_point(|&x| x < 5);

assert_eq!(i, 4);
assert!(deque.iter().take(i).all(|&x| x < 5));
assert!(deque.iter().skip(i).all(|&x| !(x < 5)));
Run

If you want to insert an item to a sorted deque, while maintaining sort order:

use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut deque: VecDeque<_> = [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55].into();
let num = 42;
let idx = deque.partition_point(|&x| x < num);
deque.insert(idx, num);
assert_eq!(deque, &[0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 42, 55]);
Run

Modifies the deque in-place so that len() is equal to new_len, either by removing excess elements from the back or by appending clones of value to the back.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

let mut buf = VecDeque::new();
buf.push_back(5);
buf.push_back(10);
buf.push_back(15);
assert_eq!(buf, [5, 10, 15]);

buf.resize(2, 0);
assert_eq!(buf, [5, 10]);

buf.resize(5, 20);
assert_eq!(buf, [5, 10, 20, 20, 20]);
Run

Converts a [T; N] into a VecDeque<T>.

use std::collections::VecDeque;

let deq1 = VecDeque::from([1, 2, 3, 4]);
let deq2: VecDeque<_> = [1, 2, 3, 4].into();
assert_eq!(deq1, deq2);
Run

Turn a Vec<T> into a VecDeque<T>.

This conversion is guaranteed to run in O(1) time and to not re-allocate the Vec’s buffer or allocate any additional memory.

Turn a VecDeque<T> into a Vec<T>.

This never needs to re-allocate, but does need to do O(n) data movement if the circular buffer doesn’t happen to be at the beginning of the allocation.

Examples
use std::collections::VecDeque;

// This one is *O*(1).
let deque: VecDeque<_> = (1..5).collect();
let ptr = deque.as_slices().0.as_ptr();
let vec = Vec::from(deque);
assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2, 3, 4]);
assert_eq!(vec.as_ptr(), ptr);

// This one needs data rearranging.
let mut deque: VecDeque<_> = (1..5).collect();
deque.push_front(9);
deque.push_front(8);
let ptr = deque.as_slices().1.as_ptr();
let vec = Vec::from(deque);
assert_eq!(vec, [8, 9, 1, 2, 3, 4]);

Read is implemented for VecDeque<u8> by consuming bytes from the front of the VecDeque.

Fill buf with the contents of the “front” slice as returned by as_slices. If the contained byte slices of the VecDeque are discontiguous, multiple calls to read will be needed to read the entire content.
