What are the advantages of using doubly linked lists?

Doubly linked lists allow traversal in both directions, making operations like insertion and deletion more efficient.

Can you explain how they are more efficient than singly linked lists?

Sure! In a doubly linked list, you can easily access the previous node, which simplifies deletion and insertion operations.

Are there any downsides to using doubly linked lists?

Yes, they use more memory due to the extra pointer for the previous node, and they can be more complex to implement.

In what scenarios would you recommend using a doubly linked list?

I recommend them when you need frequent insertions and deletions from both ends or when you need to traverse the list in both directions.
