Replace node in a linked list.
Hello everyone,
Im trying to replace a node with the following method :
@Override
public boolean replace(Object oneThing) {
Node aNode = find(oneThing); // gets a node previous to oneThing
if(aNode == null)
return false;
oneThing = aNode.next.next;
aNode.next = (Node) ((Copyable) oneThing).copy();
return true;
}I keep getting this error and dont know how to fix it or what im doing wrong:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: myContainers.List$Node cannot be cast to myUtils.CopyableAny help is greatly appreciated.
Nevermind I got It! thanks

Replacing nodes in a linked list
Hello there, i was having problems replacing all nodes of a specific value to another value, andi have no idea what i was doing wrong. this is what i had: public void replace(int oldVal, int newVal) {
IntNode traveller = front;
if (traveller == null){
System.out.println("No list exists");
} else {
while (traveller != null){
if (traveller == oldVal) {
traveller = newVal;
traveller = traveller.next;
}I seem to be getting some kind of syntax error on "if (traveller == oldVal) " and another error on "traveller = newVal;"
Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?vexity wrote:
well i didn't run the program Yeah, I know, because you have syntax errors. You can get descriptive messages for those sytax errors that you can copy and paste here.
Incompatible operand types IntList.IntNode and int
Type mismatch: cannot convert from int to IntList.IntNode
at IntList.replace(IntList.java:157)
at IntListTest.dispatch(IntListTest.java:84)
at IntListTest.main(IntListTest.java:25)
Yeah, like that. That's what we want to see.
But as I already told you, the problem is that you're trying to mix ints and IntNodes.
What should i do to solve this problem?Use ints where appropriae, IntNodes where appropriate, and convert between the two when you need to. You do know how to create an IntNode from an int, and how to get an int out of an IntNode, right? -
Recursively Finding a Node in a Linked List
I'm trying to find a node recursively in this linked list but keep coming up with an error message - can anyone tell me what is wrong?
public boolean find (Object obj)
DonorNode node = new DonorNode(obj);
DonorNode current = list;
if (don.equals(current))
return true;
else
return find(current.next);
}Please post within code tags (button above the message box).
Without more information it's hard to say.
What is list?
What is don?
If you don't mind me pointing out:
A method named find conventionally returns some object it is searching for or null if not found.
What you have (by that I mean a method returning boolean) is generally named contains (or some other obvious predicate name).
That being said, if I assume that DonorNodes contain some Object and have getter functions to access those; and that list is a DonorNode representing the head of the list, try something like:public boolean contains(Object o) {
return contains(o, list);
private boolean contains(Object o, DonorNode n) {
if (n.getObject() == o)
return true;
if (n.getNext() == null)
return false;
return contains(o, n.getNext());
}Although keep in mind that comparing two Objects using '==' will result in reference only comparison. If you need some other form of comparison you might consider using the equals method (make sure you then implement it in all potentially contained classes) or even narrowing the accepted argument to classes that implement the Comparable interface.
Hope this helps. -
I am confused at how to make a linked list using recursion. I've been looking at the syntax and examples from the web for the past couple hours, but all seem to be based on an empty .java file. I need to put it in my code somehow. here's the code segment:
public static boolean RecursiveTest (String s, int start, Node n) {
// The linked list
Node<char> bracket = new Node<char>();
int size = s.length();
char v = s.charAt(start);
//String sElement = parens.top();
boolean isGood = true;
// ending "ifs"
if (size == 0) { System.out.println("empty string"); return false; }
if (start == size) return isGood;
if (s.charAt(start) == '(' || s.charAt(start) == '[' ||
s.charAt(start)== '{') {
v.Push(sChar);
System.out.println(sChar);
return RecursiveTest(start+1, s.charAt(start));
else if (sChar.equals(")") && sElement.equals("(")) {
parens.Pop();
System.out.println(sChar);
return RecursiveTest(start+1);
else if (sChar.equals("]") && sElement.equals("[")) {
parens.Pop();
System.out.println(sChar);
return RecursiveTest(start+1);
else if (sChar.equals("}") && sElement.equals("{")) {
parens.Pop();
System.out.println(sChar);
return RecursiveTest(start+1);
else if (sChar.equals(")") && !sElement.equals("(")) {
System.out.println("bad");
isGood = false;
return isGood;
else if (sChar.equals("]") && !sElement.equals("[")) {
System.out.println("bad");
isGood = false;
return isGood;
else if (sChar.equals("}") && !sElement.equals("{")) {
System.out.println("bad");
isGood = false;
return isGood;
else return RecursiveTest(start+1);
} // end of RecursiveTest
I'm passing a string, 0, and a new node (i dunno about the last one there), from an above main class.
This code is wrong, i know, but it's all I got done so far. How would I be able to make a linked list inside this method?No one knows how to do a linked list inside a recursive method?Yes we do, but you have to realize that a list (whether it be a linked list
or an array list or whatever) has nothing to do with recursion per se.
If that list has to keep track of some state it certainly mustn't be created
within that recursive method as a local variable. And (see my previous
reply), what do you need recursion for? Counting and pairing brackets
can easily be done using an iterative method where the list keeps track
of the last seen left bracket (of any type).

Alphabetizing a linked list, HELP!
To all:
Firstly, I'm not looking for someone to do my assignment for me. I just need a push in the right direction...
I need to create a linked list that contains nodes of a single string (a first name), but that list needs to be alphabetized and that's where I am stuck.
I can use an iterator method that will display a plain-old "make a new node the head" linked list with no problem. But I'm under the impression that an iterator method is also the way to go in alphabetizing this list (that is using an iterative method to determine the correct place to place a new node in the linked list). And I am having zero luck doing that.
The iterator method looks something like this:
// ---- MyList: DisplayList method ----
void DisplayList()
ListNode p;
for (ResetIterator(); (p = Iterate()) != null; )
p.DisplayNode();
// ---- MyList: ResetIterator method ----
void ResetIterator()
current = head;
// ---- MyList: Iterate method ----
ListNode Iterate()
if (current != null)
current = current.next;
return current;
Can I use the same iterator method to both display the final linked list AND alphabetize my linked list or do I need to create a whole new iterator method, one for each?
Please, someone give me a hint where to go with this. I've spent something like 15 hours so far trying to figure this thing out and I'm just stuck.
Thanks so much,
John
[email protected]I'll try and point you in the right direction without being too explicit as you request.
Is your "linked list" an instance of the Java class java.util.LinkedList or a class of your own?
If it is the Java class, then check out some of the other types of Collections that provide built-in sorting. You should be able to easily convert from your List to another type of Collection and back again to implement the sorting. (hint: you can do this in two lines of code).
If this is your own class and you want to code the sort yourself, implement something simple such as a bubble sort (should be easy to research on the web).
Converting to an array, sorting that and converting back is another option.
Good Luck. -
Putting a class of objects in a Linked List?

Implementing my own linked lists...aiiieee!
Hi,
I'm trying to implement my own linked list structure oftype String. It will eventually go to form a simple text editor, with each line of a file being loaded into its own String node.
However, im having problems implementing the list itself :)
So far ive got the file to read in succesfully, but now im stuck...how do i load up a line into a new node? and what about the head/tail nodes, they just confuse me! Do i have to write a seperate 'List' class and create an object of that, much like the LinkedList class with Java?
Any help or a nudge in the right direction would be appreciated,
TIA

Linked lists help... how exactly is this a NullPointerException?
So I have a linked list class with variables head and tail both initialized to "null", with variables for size, declare, and traveler (not really relevant to this though). We have to create methods to manipulate said list.
For a test I declared an instance of this linked list:
static SinglyLinkedList list = new SinglyLinkedList();One of the methods we have to create is an append method, here's the code for that:
public void append(Object dataToAdd)
if(head == null & tail == null)
head = new Node(dataToAdd, null);
tail = head;
else
tail.next = new Node(dataToAdd, null);
tail = tail.next;
}Testing it with...
list.append("A");Gives null pointer exceptions at the if statement in the append method as well as at the list.append line. But why? What is exactly pointing to null?Ah... I didn't think of head not being null but tail being null.
I initiated the traveler node in the linked list class to head.
then I added this in between the if and else statements I had:
else if(head != null & tail == null)
while(traveler.next != null)
traveler = traveler.next;
tail = traveler;
tail.next = new Node(dataToAdd, null);
tail = tail.next;
}But it's still giving me the same errors.

Hello there, my question is regarding linked lists.
I'm not sure why but I have some confusion about 'append' or rather the definition of it
is appending a node to a linked list the same as adding a node to the end of the linked list?
If so would it be possible to do this by making a new node (ie. newNode) and making tail = newNode ?vexity wrote:
do i do a tail.next = newNode and then tail = newNode ?Try it and see what happens. -
How do i put a headernode into this constructor?

Splitting a Linked List at a Given Node, into Two Sublists??
My code just will not work!! Any help would be appreciated! My problem is in the last method SplitAt. These are the conditions set and my code:
Splitting a Linked List at a Given Node, into Two Sublists
a. Add the following as an abstract method to the class
LinkedListClass:
public void splitAt (LinkedListClass<T> secondList, T item);
//This method splits the list at the node with the info item into two sublists.
//Precondition: The list must exist.
//Postcondition: first and last point to the first and last nodes of the first sublist,
// respectively. secondList.first and secondList.last point to the first
// and last nodes of the second sublist.
Consider the following statements:
UnorderedLinkedList<Integer> myList;
UnorderedLinkedList<Integer> otherList;
Suppose myList points to the list with the elements 34, 65, 18, 39, 27, 89, and 12 (in this order). The statement
myList.splitAt(otherList, 18);
splits myList into two sublists: myList points to the list with elements 34 and 65, and otherList points to the sublist with elements 18, 39, 27, 89, and 12.
b. Provide the definition of the method splitAt in the class UnorderedLinkedList. Also write a program to test your method.

}I dont have a test program at all. The program is supposed to prompt for user input of numbers. (it does) Take the input and end at input of -999 (it does). Then it asks user where it wants to split list (it does). When I enter a number it does nothing after that. I am going to post updated code and see if that helps along with all the classes. Thanks!
This is the class to prompt:
import java.util.*;
public class Ch16_ProgEx6
static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
public static void main(String[] args)
UnorderedLinkedList<Integer> list
= new UnorderedLinkedList<Integer>();
UnorderedLinkedList<Integer> subList =
new UnorderedLinkedList<Integer>();
Integer num;
System.out.println("Enter integers ending with -999.");
num = console.nextInt();
while (num != -999)
list.insertLast(num);
num = console.nextInt();
System.out.println();
System.out.println("list: ");
list.print();
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Length of list: " + list.length());
System.out.print("Enter the number at which to split list: ");
num = console.nextInt();
list.splitAt(subList, num);
System.out.println("Lists after splitting list");
System.out.print("list: ");
list.print();
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Length of list: " + list.length());
System.out.print("sublist: ");
subList.print();
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Length of sublist: " + subList.length());

Linked List - deleeting nodes - HELP!
How do I delete all occurences of the nodes with the same parameters in the linked list ?
example:
Node1-> Node2 ->Node3->Node4->Node5
Node1, Node4, and Node5 have the same String value, how do I delete them in one method without breaking the linked list ?
thanksHi,
You have iterate thru the linked list remove one by one. Also have look at other collection classes like HashSet or HashMap for fast retrieval. -
Hello,
I have a double linked list where I want to change one node to another and change its references at the same time.
The nodes are not together i.e. they do not appear in the list consectutively.
I need to swap like B and D - I have managed to do swaps like A and B, and C and D (that took a while).
Is this logic correct (I am using temporary nodes):
if(f1 != (f2 - 1))
Object temp = object1;
Object temp2 = object2;
object1.getPrevious().setNext(object2);
object2.getNext().setPrevious(object1);
object1.getNext().setPrevious(object2);
object2.getPrevious().setNext(object1);
object1.setPrevious(temp2.getPrevious());
object1.setNext(temp2.getNext());
object2.setPrevious(temp.getPrevious());
object2.setNext(temp.getNext());
If this logic is not correct then please only give hints as to why.

object2.setPrevious(temp.getPrevious());
object2.setNext(temp.getNext());
If this logic is not correct then please only give

CheersI didn't check your logic, but I think that there are errors in it since I saw these lines:
object1.setPrevious(temp2.getPrevious());
object1.setNext(temp2.getNext());
object2.setPrevious(temp.getPrevious());
object2.setNext(temp.getNext()); temp and temp2 are not copies of object1 and object2. They are references to the same object, so when you do e.g. object1.getPrevious().setNext() you also change previous->next for temp.
temp == object1
temp2 == object2
