    Learn to implement a singly linked list in Java and create a length method that traverses nodes, counts them, and returns the list size.

  • Animation - How to insert node at the beginning of a Singly Linked List in Java?6:29

    Demonstrates inserting a node at the beginning of a singly linked list in Java by creating the node, setting its next to the head, and updating head.

  • Implementation - How to insert node at the beginning of a Singly Linked List ?2:57

    Insert a node at the beginning of a singly linked list in Java. Create a new node, link it to the current head, and update the head.

  • Animation - How to insert a node at the end of a Singly Linked List in Java ?9:56

    Insert a node at the end of a singly linked list in Java by creating a new node, handling an empty list, and traversing to last node to attach it.

  • Implementation - How to insert a node at the end of a Singly Linked List in Java5:18

    Insert a node at end of a linked list in Java by creating a new node, handling an empty list by assigning head, and traversing to last node to append.
