need help in doubly linked list

hello:
i'm not sure what the operations that would be affected if we didn't maintain a tail pointer in doubly linked list?

so why is it important?

your help is appreciated
thank you

Hi,

If the tail pointer is missing means it will act as a linked list.
Not a doubly linked list.

i.e., The advantage of doubly linked list is not exist if the tail pointer is missing.

Regards,
M.Sivadhas.
