Doubly Linked List
In singly linked list, we can move only in forward direction, whereas in doubly linked list moving forward or backward from any node is possible. The node in the doubly linked list is more complex than the node in the singly linked list because the node in the doubly linked list contains the address of the previous node + its own element + address of the next node.
