Explanation of Solution

Redesign the addFirst() method in CircularlyLinkedList class:

Note: Refer Code Fragment 3.16 “Implementation of the CircularlyLinkedList class” in the Text book.

The CircularlyLinkedList class contains number of methods such as “size()”, “first()”, “last()”, “addFirst()”, “addLast()”, “rotate()”, and “removeFirst()”.

In addFirst() method,

  • The else part at the line number “39” and “40” in this method to avoid the use of any local variable.
    • Here, “newest” variable considered as local variable. So, the “newest” local variable is avoided in this method.
    • For this, remove the “newest” local variable from this method.
    • That is, two lines changed to single line.

The two-line code is given below:

/*Declare and assign the local variable as next node of tail as new element "e". */

Node<E> newest = new Node<>(e, tail.getNext());//Line 39

  //Pass the local variable to setNext() method by "tail"

  tail...

There’s a somewhat imperfect analogy between a linked list and a railroad train, where individual cars represent links. Imagine how you would carry out various linked list operations, such as those implemented by the member functions insertFirst(), removeFirst(), and remove(int key) from the LinkList class in this hour. Also implement an insertAfter() function. You’ll need some sidings and switches. You can use a model train set if you have one. Otherwise, try drawing tracks on a piece of paper and using business cards for train cars.
Please Use java only. Inthisassignment,youwillimplementaclasscalled​CustomIntegerArrayList.​ Thisclass represents a fancy ArrayList that stores integers and supports additional operations not included in Java's built-in ArrayList methods. For example, the ​CustomIntegerArrayList​ class has a “splice” method which removes a specified number of elements from the CustomIntegerArrayList, starting at a given index. For a CustomIntegerArrayList that includes: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, calling splice(1, 2) will remove 2 items starting at index 1. This will remove 2 and 3 (the 2nd and 3rd items). The ​Cu​ stomIntegerArrayList class has 2 different (overloaded) constructors. (Remember, an overloaded constructor is a constructor that has the same name, but a different number, type, or sequence of parameters, as another constructor in the class.) Having 2 different constructors means you can create an instance of the CustomIntegerArrayList class in 2 different ways, depending on which constructor you…
Apply the methods in the ListIterator interface to write a Java program in NetBeans that creates a LinkedList of four elements of type string, namely: Java, C#, PHP and Python.The program should then print out the elements initially in the original order, and then afterwards in reverse order using the ListIterator methods. In this case, the following(attached) is the expected output:
