Problem 6: [20%] Using a singly linked list with two references (firstNode and lastNode) to implement Queue's deletion method, i.e. dequeue() firstNode Entry at front of queue Answer: // delete first node from a linked list and return its data // firstNode and lastNode may be accessed directly public T dequeue() { lastNode Entry at back of queue

Step 1
Check if the queue is empty. If the firstNode is null, then the queue is empty and there is nothing to dequeue. In this case, you can throw an exception or return null to indicate that the queue is empty. Show more…

Suppose that a singly linked list is implemented with both a header and a tail node. Describe constant-time algorithms to a. Insert item x before position p (given by an iterator). b. Remove the item stored at position p (given by an iterator).

Question 1. A. Use the linked list code we covered in the lectures and add a JAVA swap method to swap two nodes x and y (and not just their contents) in a singly linked list L given references only to x and y. Submit a full running program including the main method testing you swap method. B. Repeat this exercise for the case when L is a doubly linked list. Submit a full running program including the main method testing you swap method. C. Which algorithm takes more time? Justify your answer *Please provide all of the code as well of screenshots of the output.

1. initialize three pointers: prev to None, curr to the head of the linked list, and next to None. 2. Iterate through the linked list using a loop. 3. Inside the loop, before changing the next pointer of curr, store the next node in the next variable. next_node = curr.next 4. Update the next pointer of curr to point to the previous node, i.e., curr.next = prev 5. Update the prev pointer to the current node and curr to the next node using the next variable. _______________ _______________
