Linked List in Java

Linked list is a simple linear data structure formed by collection of data elements called nodes. Each node consists of a data element and link field.




There is a head node that points to the starting of the linked list.
this diagram shows a simple representation of the linked list.





Linked list can be used to implement stacks, queues, list, associative arrays, etc. 

Unlike arrays linked lists are not stored in contagious memory locations rather the are stored at any empty place in memory and the address of the next node is stored in the link field.
Also you don't need to declare the size of the linked list at the time of initialization you can dynamically keep adding elements to the linked list.

The following implementation of the linked list has the following methods implemented :
  1. isEmpty() : method returns true if the list is empty
  2. addToEnd() : method to add a node at the end
  3. display() : method to display all the elements of the Linked List
  4. length() : method that returns the length of the Linked List
  5. insert() : method to insert element at a given position in the Linked List
  6. deleteByPosition() : method to delete a element at a given position
  7. deleteByData() : method to delete a data element
  8. findMin() : method that returns the max element
  9. findMax() : method that returns the min element
  10. countOccurences() : method that returns the occurences of an element
  11. pop() : pop method removes last element of the Linked List
  12. tostring() : method that returns a string of all elements of the String
  13. copy() : method that returns the copy of the list
  14. clear() : method that clears the Linked List
  15. reverse() : method that returns reversed linked list
  16. convertToArray() : returns a array of elements of Linked List
  17. findElement() : method that returns index of a particular element
  18. getElement() : method that returns element at a particular position
  19. makeDummyList() : creates a dummy list comtaining numbers from 2 to 10

Hashing with Linear Probing

Hashing is a technique used for storing , searching and removing elements in almost constant time. Hashing is done with help of a hash function that generates index for a given input, then this index can be used to search the elements, store an element, or remove that element from that index. A hash function is a function that is used to map the data elements to their position in the data structure used. For example if we use an array to store the integer elements then the hash function will generate position for each element so that searching, storing and removing operation on the array can be done in constant time that is independent of the number of elements in the array. For better look at the example below. now we face a problem if for 2 numbers same position is generated example consider elements 1 and 14 1 % 13 = 1 14 % 13 = 1 so when we get 1 we store it at the first position, but when we get 14 we see that the position 1 is already taken, this is a case of colli

Infix to Prefix conversion using Stack

This post is about conversion of Infix expression to Prefix conversion. For this conversion we take help of stack data structure, we need to push and pop the operators in and out of the stack. Infix expressions are the expressions that we normally use, eg. 5+6-7; a+b*c etc. Prefix expressions are the expressions in which the 2 operands are preceded by the operator eg. -+56 7 , +a*bc etc. This method is very similar to the method that we used to convert Infix to Postfix but the only difference is that here we need to reverse the input string before conversion and then reverse the final output string before displaying it. NOTE: This changes one thing that is instead of encountering the opening bracket we now first encounter the closing bracket and we make changes accordingly in our code. So, to convert an infix expression to a prefix expression we follow the below steps (we have 2 string, 1st is the input infix expression string 2nd is the output string which is empty initially)
