Answer
Deques are not thread-safe by default. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
While Deques offer flexible operations, they are not inherently thread-safe. In a multi-threaded environment, you must use synchronized methods or concurrent collections like ConcurrentLinkedDeque to avoid race conditions when multiple threads access the Deque simultaneously.
