How to Create and Traverse a Linked List without using Java collection frameworks? Linked lists are an essential data structure in computer science, providing an efficient way to store and manage data. In Java, the LinkedList class in the Java Collections framework is widely used for this purpose. However, in this blog post, we will explore how to create a LinkedList from scratch using a custom class, without relying on the built-in Java Collections. Algorithm: 1. Define a Node class that represents individual nodes in the list. Each node contains data and a reference to the next node in the sequence. 2. To add elements to the LinkedList, we will create an object of the Node class and assign a value of the node to its constructor. Its syntax is: Node newNode = new Node(value); 3. To traverse the LinkedList, we'll create a traverse( ) function start from the head node and keep moving to the next node until we reach the end (i.e., the n
