+/**
+ * Sentinel doubly linked list class. A linked
+ * list is a list constructed from nodes, which
+ * hold stored values, with references to each
+ * other, this is usally an ineffective data
+ * structure, especially on high-level object
+ * orientated languages. A doubly linked list
+ * stores nodes with references to the both the
+ * following node previous node. A sentinel
+ * linked list increses performance and reduces
+ * complexity by tracking the edges implicitly
+ * rather than explicitly; instead of having
+ * reference to the first and last node, a
+ * sentinel linked list have an extra node,
+ * {@link #edge}, is placed at both the end and
+ * the beginning of the linked list — the list
+ * acts as linear but is constructed as circular
+ * — and rather than checking that the next node
+ * or previous node is not {@code null} you check
+ * that it is not {@link #edge}. This implemention
+ * only implements methods that do not require
+ * iterating over all nodes for find a specific;
+ * all other methods' — those that are implemented
+ * — time complexity is Θ(1).
+ *
+ * @param <T> The value stored in the structure
