How many ways to iterate a LinkedList in Java?
A LinkedList is a data structure that contains a group of nodes connected in a sequential manner with a pointer. A LinkedList can behave as a dynamic array and it allocates space for each element separately in its own block of memory called a Node. Each node contains two fields, a "data" field to store an element type the list holds and a "next" field which is a pointer used to link one node to the next node.
We can iterate the elements of a LinkedList in three ways in Java.
Using Iterator
We can iterate the elements of a LinkedList through the Iterator class.
Example
import java.util.*; public class LinkedListIteratorTest { public static void main(String[] args) { List<String> list = new LinkedList<>(); list.add("Kohli"); list.add("Morgan"); list.add("Williamson"); list.add("Smith"); list.add("Kohli"); Iterator it = list.iterator(); while(it.hasNext()) { System.out.println(it.next()); } } }
Output
Kohli Morgan Williamson Smith Kohli
Using ListIterator
We can iterate the elements of a LinkedList through ListIterator class.
Example
import java.util.*; public class LinkedListWithListIteratorTest { public static void main(String[] args) { List<String> list = new LinkedList<>(); list.add("Kohli"); list.add("Morgan"); list.add("Williamson"); list.add("Smith"); list.add("Kohli"); ListIterator<String> li = list.listIterator(); while(li.hasNext()) { System.out.println(li.next()); } } }
Output
Kohli Morgan Williamson Smith Kohli
sing For-each loop
We can also iterate the elements of a LinkedList through the for-each loop.
Example
import java.util.*; public class LinkedListForEachTest { public static void main(String[] args) { List<String> list = new LinkedList<>(); list.add("Kohli"); list.add("Morgan"); list.add("Williamson"); list.add("Smith"); list.add("Kohli"); for(String str : list) { System.out.println(str); } } }
Output
Kohli Morgan Williamson Smith Kohli
