<?php 
  
// Declare Deque of default size 
$deq = new \Ds\Deque(); 
  
// Display the capacity of Deque

// Allocating space for 50 values 
// to the Deque 
$deq->allocate(50); 
  
// Display the capacity of Deque 
var_dump($deq->capacity()); 
  
?>  

Output:

Program 2:

<?php 
   
// Declare Deque of default size 
$deck = new \Ds\Deque(); 
  
// Display the Deque capacity 
var_dump($deck->capacity()); 
   
// Allocating space for 50 values 
// to the Deque 
$deck->allocate(50); 
  
// Display the Deque capacity 
var_dump($deck->capacity()); 
   
// Allocating space for 60 values
