E - the type of elements held in this collectionpublic class LinkedList<E> extends AbstractSequentialList<E> implements List<E>, Deque<E>, Cloneable, Serializable
List and Deque
interfaces. Implements all optional list operations, and permits all
elements (including null).
All of the operations perform as could be expected for a doubly-linked list. Operations that index into the list will traverse the list from the beginning or the end, whichever is closer to the specified index.
Note that this implementation is not synchronized.
If multiple threads access a linked list concurrently, and at least
one of the threads modifies the list structurally, it must be
synchronized externally. (A structural modification is any operation
that adds or deletes one or more elements; merely setting the value of
an element is not a structural modification.) This is typically
accomplished by synchronizing on some object that naturally
encapsulates the list.
If no such object exists, the list should be "wrapped" using the
Collections.synchronizedList
method. This is best done at creation time, to prevent accidental
unsynchronized access to the list:
List list = Collections.synchronizedList(new LinkedList(...));
The iterators returned by this class's iterator and
listIterator methods are fail-fast: if the list is
structurally modified at any time after the iterator is created, in
any way except through the Iterator's own remove or
add methods, the iterator will throw a ConcurrentModificationException. Thus, in the face of concurrent
modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than
risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined
time in the future.
Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed
as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the
presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators
throw ConcurrentModificationException on a best-effort basis.
Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this
exception for its correctness: the fail-fast behavior of iterators
should be used only to detect bugs.
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

LinkedList. (The elements
themselves are not cloned.)public Object[] toArray()
The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this list. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.
This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.
toArray in interface Collection<E>toArray in interface List<E>toArray in class AbstractCollection<E>Arrays.asList(Object[])public <T> T[] toArray(T[] a)
If the list fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e.,
the array has more elements than the list), the element in the array
immediately following the end of the list is set to null.
(This is useful in determining the length of the list only if
the caller knows that the list does not contain any null elements.)
Like the toArray() method, this method acts as bridge between
array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows
precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may,
under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs.
Suppose x is a list known to contain only strings.
The following code can be used to dump the list into a newly
allocated array of String:
String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);
Note that toArray(new Object[0]) is identical in function to
toArray().toArray in interface Collection<E>toArray in interface List<E>toArray in class AbstractCollection<E>a - the array into which the elements of the list are to
be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the
same runtime type is allocated for this purpose.ArrayStoreException - if the runtime type of the specified array
is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in
