Week 14 Lab – A Linked List of Integers
Maximum Points = 10
File IntList.java contains definitions for a linked list of integers. The class contains an inner class IntNode that holds information for a single node in the list (a node has a value and a reference to the next node) and the following IntList methods:
· public IntList()—constructor; creates an empty list of integers
· public void addToFront(int val)—takes an integer and puts it on the front of the list
· public void addToEnd(int val)—takes an integer and puts it on the end of the list
· public void removeFirst()—removes the first value from the list
· public void print()—prints the elements in the list from first to last
File IntListTest.java contains a driver that allows you to experiment with these methods. Save both of these files to your directory, compile and run IntListTest, and play around with it to see how it works. Then add the following methods to the IntList class. [use the print method as a model for 1,2, &4; use the addToEnd method as a model for #3.] For each, add an option to the driver to test it.
1. public int length()—returns the number of elements in the list
2. public String toString()—returns a String containing the print value of the list.
IF YOU HAVE TIME:
3. public void removeLast()—removes the last element of the list. If the list is empty, does nothing.
4. public void replace(int oldVal, int newVal)—replaces all occurrences of oldVal in the list with newVal. Note that you can still use the old nodes; just replace the values stored in those nodes.
