Double-ended Queue - Naming Conventions

Naming Conventions

Deque is sometimes written dequeue, but this use is generally deprecated in technical literature or technical writing because dequeue is also a verb meaning "to remove from a queue".

John Mitchell, author of Concepts in Programming Languages, also uses this terminology.
