COMP 2230 – Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis
Assignment #1: Linked List
Assignment:
This first assignment is to explain the concept of linked list
with the details of the algorithms behind it.
Write a menu driven program to :
1. Create a link list
2. Add the new node in the list

3. Delete a node
4. Display the whole list
5. Exit
When 2 or 3 are selected, the number of node is inserted. Take 0
as beginning, -1 as end and the number to insert or delete the
number defined.
Make sure after each insertion and deletion, the complete list is
displayed on the screen.
The node details are as follows:
static class Node {
int number;
String name;
Node next;
Node(int d, String s) { data = d; name = s; next=null; } //
Constructor
}
