DESCRIPTION
Java linked list - definition ▪ Often in programming we are required to systematically store some type of information. A prime example of this is to use arrays, but when you don’t know the amount of information to be stored we need a dynamic data structure. ▪ One option for us is to use a linked list. A linked list works by creating a collection of objects (nodes) which both carry the data we want to store and a reference to the next node in the list. ▪ There is more than one type of a linked list. Some different type of linked list are shown below: 1. Singly linked list. Root node links one way through all the nodes. Last node links to NULL. 2. Doubly linked list. Every nodes stores a reference to its previous node as well as its next. Last node links to NULL.

Java linked list - definition▪ Often in programming we are required to systematically store some type of information. A prime example of this is to use arrays, but when you don’t know the amount of information to be stored we need a dynamic data structure.▪ One option for us is to use a linked list. A linked list works by creating a collection of objects (nodes) which both carry the data we want to store and a reference to the next node in the list.▪ There is more than one type of a linked list. Some different type of linked list are shown below: 1. Singly linked list. Root node links one way through all the nodes. Last node links to NULL.
2. Doubly linked list. Every nodes stores a reference to its previous node as well as its next. Last node links to NULL.
Java linked list, cont.3. Circular linked list. Circular linked list have a reference to one node which is the tail node and all the nodes are linked together in one direction forming a circle.
▪ A singly linked list is a linear data structure where each element (node) is a separate object.
Tail
Node< T >
data nextNode
Field nextNode references a Node< T > object, an object of the same <T> class .
Field data references the object of the <T> class .

Class List - definitions• Class List represents a singly linked list. • Each element ( we will call it a node ) of a list is comprising of two
items - the data and a reference to the next node.• The last node has a reference to null. The entry point into a linked
list is called the head of the list. It should be noted that head is not a separate node, but the reference to the first node. If the list is empty then the head is a null reference.
• The number of nodes in a list is not fixed and can grow and shrink on demand.
• In Java we are allowed to define a class (say, B) inside of another class (say, A). The class A is called the outer class, and the class B is called the inner class. The purpose of inner classes is purely to be used internally as helper classes.
• The List class is the outer class and the Node class is the inner class.

Class List - methodsN Method’s name Method’s description1 List() Constructor builds an empty linked list .2 boolean isEmpty() Returns true if this list is empty and false
otherwise. 3 Node<T> getFirst() Returns the reference to first element in
this list. If list is empty returns null. 4 Node<T> insert(Node<T>
pos, T x)Inserts the type T element x after the specified position pos in this list and returns the reference to inserted element x.
5 Node<T> remove(Node<T> pos)
Removes the first occurrence of the specified element pos in this list and returns the next element position.We assume that pos != null.
6 String to String() Returns the string representation of linked list.

Class List - basic operations addFirst : The method creates a node ( “C” ) and prepends it at the beginning of the list.

Class List - basic operationsaddLast: The method appends the node ( “S” ) to the end of the list.

Class List - basic operationsInserting "after“:Find a node containing "key" and insert a new node after it.In the picture below, we insert a new node after “E”:
11
Class List - basic operationsDeletion:Find a node containing "key" and delete it.In the picture below we delete a node containing “ A “
12
Class List - basic operationsTraversing:Start with the head and access each node until you reach null. Do not change the head reference !

Class List - testThis program reads the names of 10 students ,builds linked list and prints the names which begins with an ‘A’ character.
public static void main(String args[ ]){ List<String> studNames = new List<String>(); Node<String> last = null; for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { System.out.println(“ Enter student name “); String name = reader.next(); last = studNames.insert(last,name); } // for Node<String> p = studNames.getFirst(); while(p != null ) { if( p.getData().charAt(0) == ‘A’) System.out.println(p.getData()); p = p.getNext(); } //while} // main
public Node<T> insert(Node<T> pos, T x) { Node<T> q = new Node<T>(x); if( pos == null ) { q.setNext(this.first); this.first = q; // first element in the list } else { q.setNext(pos.getNext()); pos.setNext(q); } return q; } // insert

Class List – using external methodspublic static void nameA(Node<String> p){ while(p != null ) { if( p.getData().charAt(0) == 'A') // getData from Node class, charAt() from String class System.out.println(p.getData()); p = p.getNext(); } // while} // nameApublic static void main(String args[ ]){ List<String> studNames = new List<String>(); Node<String> last = null; for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { System.out.println(“ Enter student name “); String name = reader.next(); last = studNames.insert(last,name); } // for Node<String> pl = studNames.getFirst(); nameA(pl); // calling method nameA from main method} // main

External methods – “what is” questions1. What is the output for the next program giving the following linked list?
public static void what(List<Integer> list) { Node<Integer> a = list.getFirst(); Node<Integer> b = list.getFirst(); while (b != null ) { Node<Integer> temp = a; a = a.getNext(); b = b.getNext(); list.remove(temp); if (b != null) b = b.getNext(); } // while} // what
2. What is the purpose of the what method ?
public static void main(String[ ] args) { List<Integer> ls = new List<Integer>(); Node<Integer> last = null; System.out.print(" enter an integer -> "); int x = reader.nextInt(); while ( x != 777) { last = ls.insert(last, x); System.out.print(" enter an integer -> "); x = reader.nextInt(); } // while System.out.println(ls); what(ls); // calling what method System.out.println(ls); } // main

Merging two linked list• Write a Java program that contains a method with the capability to
merge two integer type sorted linked lists ( lst1 and lst2 ) . • The merged result should be in the third linked list ( lst3 ) that is in
sorted order. Do not destroy the original lists. • Your program should output the content of three linked lists to show
the program performs properly.

Class List methods - exam questionWrite the method:
public static int MaxSubList( List<Character> lst, char x, char y )
The method receives the length of the largest sub-list, which can be found between characters x and y.
If such sub-list is not found the method receives 0.
For example:
If we have the following list: lst = 'a', 'd', 'z', 'a', 't', 't', 'a', 'y', 'w‘
The method MaxSubList(lst,'z','a') receives the value 5 ( lst = z, a, t, t, a ).
The method MaxSubList(lst,'w','w') receives the value 1.
The method MaxSubList(lst,'a','k') receives the value 0.
