Method Name:

Method Signature:
popleft()
Method Overview:
- popleft() removes an element from the left side of the deque and returns the value.
- Invoking popleft() on an empty deque raises an exception of type IndexError
Example:
|
import collections
numbersDeque = collections.deque((20,40,60,80)) print("Sequence of Numbers:") print(numbersDeque)
elem = numbersDeque.popleft()
print("popleft removed the number:%d"%(elem))
print("Deque elements after a popleft:") print(numbersDeque) |
Output:
