Example

The following example shows the usage of java.util.LinkedList.descendingIterator() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.*;

public class LinkedListDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create a LinkedList
      LinkedList list = new LinkedList();

      // add some elements
      list.add("Hello");
      list.add(2);
      list.add("Chocolate");
      list.add("10");

      // print the list
      System.out.println("LinkedList:" + list);

      // set Iterator as descending
      Iterator x = list.descendingIterator();

      // print list with descending order
      while (x.hasNext()) {
         System.out.println(x.next());
      }
   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:

LinkedList:[Hello, 2, Chocolate, 10]
10
Chocolate
2
Hello
