Assume that there exists an implementation for a linked list which contains the following state:
first // a reference to the first node in the list
and behavior:
addFirst(element data)
addLast(element data)
element removeFirst()
element removeLast()
boolean isEmpty()
Write algorithms which use the only the above linked list functions to implement a stack,
i.e write algorithms which use to above state and behavior to implement:
- push(element data)
- pop()
- peek()
(Ensure that you include appropriate return types where necessary)
Updates to this post:
2022 Sept 30 – removed data as a parameter to removeFirst and removeLast()
2023 Sept 28 – reworded the task from: “Write algorithms for functions to this linked list such that a stack can be implemented,” to “Write algorithms which use the only the above linked list functions to implement a stack,”
