1. Singly Linked Lists - Ed. 2, 3: Chapter 4- Ed. 4.: Chapter 3

5. tail

6. pointer to a next node node pointer to an element Illustration of a linked list in memory:

7. pointer to a next node node pointer to an element

8. pointer to a next node node pointer to an element

9. pointer to a next node node pointer to an element

11. Singly Linked Lists and Arrays

12. Class Node Here is an implementation of nodes in Java: public class Node { private Object element; private Node next; public Node() { this( null, null ); } public Node( Object e, Node n ) { element = e; next = n; }

13. Object getElement() { return element } Node getNext() { return next; } void setElement( Object newElem ) { element = newElem; } void setNext( Node newNext ) { next = newNext; } }

14. Insertion of an Element at the Head

15. Node x = new Node(); x.setElement(new String(“Baltimore”)); The following statement is not correct: x.element = new String(“Baltimore”));

16. x.setNext(head); head = x;

17. Deleting an Element at the Head

18. head = head.getNext();

20. Insertion of an Element at the Tail

21. Node x = new Node( ); x.setElement(new String(“Baltimore”)); x.setNext(null); tail.setNext(x); tail = x;

23. How to keep “head” and “tail”? public class Head_and_Tail { Node head; Node tail; Head_and_Tail(Node x, Node y) { head = x; tail = y; } }

24. How to keep “head” and “tail”? public class GeneratingList { Node head = null; Node tail = null; Public Head_and_Tail linked_list () { Node x = null; for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {x = new Node(); x.setElement(new Integer(i)); if (i == 0 ) {x.setNext(null); tail = x;} else x.setNext(head); head = x; } return new Head_and_Tail(head, tail);} }

25. Deleting an Element at the Tail

28. should be removed
