Creating a linked list
Now that you understand what a linked list is, let's start implementing our data structure. This is the skeleton of our LinkedList
class:
function LinkedList() { let Node = function(element){ // {1} this.element = element; this.next = null; }; let length = 0; // {2} let head = null; // {3} this.append = function(element){}; this.insert = function(position, element){}; this.removeAt = function(position){}; this.remove = function(element){}; this.indexOf = function(element){}; this.isEmpty = function() {}; this.size = function() {}; this.toString = function(){}; this.print = function(){}; }
For the LinkedList
data structure, we need a helper
class called Node
(line {1}
). The Node
class represents the item that we want to add to the list. It contains an element
attribute, which is the value that we want to add to the list, and a next
attribute, which is the pointer that contains the link to the next node item...
