The List ADT Definition A list is a

The List ADT Definition A list is a collection of objects, called nodes, connected in a chain by links. There may or may not be an ordering relationship between data in the nodes. Depending on this, we distinguish between ordered and unordered lists. For now, we consider only unordered lists. Operations (methods) on lists: insert. First (node) Inserts a new node at the beginning of the list delete. First (node) Deletes a node from the beginning of the list size () Returns the number of nodes in the list empty () Returns true if the list is empty search (key) Searches for a node with the specified key traverse () Processes each node on the list (for example, prints it out)

A linked list interface and the Node class public interface LList { public void insert. First (int item); public Node delete. First (); public int size(); public boolean empty (); public boolean search (int item); public void traverse (); public Node (int d, Node n) { data = d; next = n; } public void set. Data (int new. Data) { data = new. Data; } public void set. Next (Node new. Next) { next = new. Next; } } public int get. Data () { return data; } class Node { private int data; private Node next; public Node get. Next () { return next; } public Node () { this(0, null); } public Node (int d) { data = d; } public void display. Node () { System. out. print (data); } }

Implementation of an unordered linked list ADT class Link. List. ADT implements LList { private Node first; public Link. List. ADT () { first = null; } public boolean empty () { return (first == null); } public int size () { int count = 0; Node current = first; while (current != null) { count++; current = current. get. Next(); } return count; } public void insert. First (int new. Data) { Node new. First = new Node (new. Data); new. First. set. Next(first); first = new. First; } public Node delete. First () { Node temp = first; first = first. get. Next(); return temp; } public boolean search (int key) { boolean result = false; Node current = first; while (current != null) { if (current. get. Data () == key) { result = true; return result; } else current = current. get. Next(); } return result; } public void traverse () { System. out. print ("Current list: "); Node current = first; while (current != null) { current. display. Node (); System. out. print (" "); current = current. get. Next(); } System. out. println (); } }

Efficiency of linked list operations empty, insert. First and delete. First methods are O(1), while size, search and traverse methods are O(N). The size method can be rewritten in a more efficient, O(1), form, but the (linear) search and traverse methods do require a loop to process each of the nodes on the list. If we want to insert a node in a place different than the beginning of the list, we must first find that place by means of the search method, and then insert (or delete) the node. Although the actual insert / delete process involves simply an exchange of two pointers, the overall efficiency of these method will be O(N) because of the search involved. Ordered linked lists rely on an insert. N method to add the new node in the appropriate place according to the prescribed ordering relationship. Therefore, the insertion in an ordered linked list will also be O(N) operation (if linear search is used).

The Queue ADT -- a linked list implementation public interface LLQueue { public void enqueue (int item); public int dequeue(); public int size(); public boolean empty(); public int front(); } class LLQueue. ADT implements LLQueue { private int size; private Node front; private Node rear; public void enqueue (int number) { Node new. Node = new Node (); new. Node. set. Data(number); new. Node. set. Next(null); if (this. empty()) front = new. Node; else rear. set. Next(new. Node); rear = new. Node; size++; } public int dequeue () { int i; i = front. get. Data(); front = front. get. Next(); size--; if (this. empty()) rear = null; return i; } public LLQueue. ADT () { size = 0; front = null; rear = null; } public boolean empty () { return (size == 0); } public int size () { return size; } public int front () { return front. get. Data(); } }

The Stack ADT -- a linked list implementation public interface LLStack { public void push (int item); public int pop(); public int size(); public boolean empty(); public int ontop(); } public void push (int number) { Node new. Node = new Node (); new. Node. set. Data(number); new. Node. set. Next(top); top = new. Node; size++; } public int pop () { int i; i = top. get. Data(); top = top. get. Next(); size--; return i; } class LLStack. ADT implements LLStack { private Node top; private int size; public LLStack. ADT () { top = null; size = 0; } public int ontop () { int i = pop(); push(i); return i; } public boolean empty () { return (top == null); } public int size () { return size; } }

Double-ended Queues The double-ended queue (or dequeu) supports insertions and deletions at the front and at the rear of the queue. Therefore, in addition to enqueue, dequeue (which we call now insert. Last and delete. First, respectively), and first methods, we must also provide insert. First, delete. First and last methods. The Dequeue ADT can be used for implementing both stacks and queues. Dequeue methods Stack methods Queue methods size() empty() last() first() insert. First() insert. Last() delete. First() size() empty() top() --push(item) pop() -- size() empty() -front() -enqueue(item) -dequeue()

An implementation of a doubly linked list Nodes in a doubly linked list have pointers to both, the next node and the previous node. For simplicity, we can add two dummy nodes to the list: the header node, which comes before the first node, and the trailer node, which comes after the last node. The doubly linked list ADT has the following interface: public interface DLList { public void insert. First (int item); public void insert. Last (int item); public DLNode delete. First (); public DLNode delete. Last (); public int size(); public int last (); public int first (); public boolean empty (); public void traverse (); }
