Java program to delete a node from the end of the Circular Linked List
public class DeleteEnd {
//Represents the node of list.
public class Node{
int data;
Node next;
public Node(int data) {
this.data = data;
}
}
//Declaring head and tail pointer as null.
public Node head = null;
public Node tail = null;
//This function will add the new node at the end of the list.
public void add(int data){
//Create new node
Node newNode = new Node(data);
//Checks if the list is empty.
if(head == null) {
//If list is empty, both head and tail would point to new node.
head = newNode;
tail = newNode;
newNode.next = head;
}
else {
//tail will point to new node.
tail.next = newNode;
//New node will become new tail.
tail = newNode;
//Since, it is circular linked list tail will point to head.
tail.next = head;
}
}
//Deletes node from end of the list
public void deleteEnd() {
//Checks whether list is empty
if(head == null) {
return;
}
else {
//Checks whether contain only one element
if(head != tail ) {
Node current = head;
//Loop will iterate till the second last element as current.next is pointing to tail
while(current.next != tail) {
current = current.next;
}
//Second last element will be new tail
tail = current;
//Tail will point to head as it is a circular linked list
tail.next = head;
}
//If the list contains only one element
//Then it will remove it and both head and tail will point to null
else {
head = tail = null;
}
}
}
//Displays all the nodes in the list
public void display() {
Node current = head;
if(head == null) {
System.out.println("List is empty");
}
else {
do{
//Prints each node by incrementing pointer.
System.out.print(" "+ current.data);
current = current.next;
}while(current != head);
System.out.println();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
DeleteEnd cl = new DeleteEnd();
//Adds data to the list
cl.add(1);
cl.add(2);
cl.add(3);
cl.add(4);
//Printing original list
System.out.println("Original List: ");
cl.display();
while(cl.head != null) {
cl.deleteEnd();
//Printing updated list
System.out.println("Updated List: ");
cl.display();
}
}
}
Output:
Original List:
1 2 3 4
Updated List:
1 2 3
Updated List:
1 2
Updated List:
1
Updated List:
List is empty
