This is the code to insert a node at the end of a LinkedList. I have first created a head node. Then enter the values in list. After this, I created an end node and tried to linked it with the last node of the created list while traversing at the end of the list. But I am getting the null value in between. Can somebody correct my mistake?
Expected O/P: 2 3 4
O/P getting: 2 3 4 0 5
import java.util.Scanner;
public class SinglyLinkedList {
SinglyLinkedList next,head,ptr;
int v;
void headcre()
{
head=new SinglyLinkedList();
ptr=head;
}
void linkcre(int n)
{
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter your values to be added in the list");
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
ptr.v=sc.nextInt();
ptr.next=new SinglyLinkedList();
ptr=ptr.next;
}
ptr.next=null;
}
void insertend()
{
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter value to be inserted at end");
SinglyLinkedList node=new SinglyLinkedList(); //Creating a node
node.v=sc.nextInt(); //assigning value to node
node.next=null;
SinglyLinkedList tail=head;
//loop to traverse at the end of list
while(tail.next!=null)
{
tail=tail.next;
}
//pointing the list to the newly created node
tail.next=node;
tail=tail.next;
//Printing the list after inserting end node
SinglyLinkedList ptr3=head;
while(ptr3!=null)
{
System.out.print(ptr3.v+" ");
ptr3=ptr3.next;
}
//System.out.println();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter number of values in list");
int n=sc.nextInt();
SinglyLinkedList obj=new SinglyLinkedList();
//function to create head
obj.headcre();
//function to create list
obj.linkcre(n);
//function to insert node at the end
obj.insertend();
}
}
Change the tail.next to tail.next.next as below,
//loop to traverse at the end of list
while(tail.next.next!=null)
{
tail=tail.next;
}
You are inserting the end node to the next of the null node created by the linkcre method.
