LinkedList Example With Iterating Using Iterator()

import java.util.*;

class CollectionsExample3{ public static void main(String args[]){ //create list LinkedList list=new LinkedList(); //add elements in list list.add(“Tom”); list.add(“Bob”); Iterator itr=list.iterator(); while(itr.hasNext()){ System.out.println(itr.next()); } } } Output

Tom
Bob

Iterating  LinkedList or collection with forEach, for, ListIterator  and forEachRemaining

Example:

import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.ListIterator;

public class CollectionsExample3 { public static void main(String[] args) { LinkedList myList=new LinkedList<>(); myList.add(“John”); myList.add(“Ron”); //foreach myList.forEach(data->System.out.println(“forEach: “+data)); //for for (String data : myList) { System.out.println(“for: “+data); } //list itr ListIterator ltr = myList.listIterator(); while(ltr.hasNext()) { System.out.println(“listIterator: “+ltr.next()); } //forEachRemaining of iterator ltr.forEachRemaining(data->{ System.out.println(“forEachRemaining: “+data); }); } } Output:

forEach: John
forEach: Ron
for: John
for: Ron
listIterator: John
listIterator: Ron

LinkedList/Collections examples of add, addAll, remove, removeAll and retainAll()

import java.util.LinkedList;
public class CollectionsExample3 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
LinkedList myList=new LinkedList<>();
LinkedList myList2=new LinkedList<>();

//add
myList.add("John");
myList.add("Ron");
myList.add("Jone");
myList.add("Tony");

myList2.add("Tony");
System.out.println(myList);

//addAll
myList.addAll(myList2);

//remove
myList.remove("John");

//removeAll
myList.removeAll(myList2);
System.out.println(myList);

//retainAll
myList.add("Tony");
myList.retainAll(myList2);
System.out.println(myList);
}
}

Output

[John, Ron, Jone, Tony]
[Ron, Jone]
[Tony]

Sorting the LinkedList

We can use collections class’ sorting methods to sort it. Syntax: Collections.sort();
