This code is a table that has an option to Inert name, delete, show, and quit .
this code run's well but my only problem is on how to delete a chosen name in a node
class Node{
Node in;
String name;
public Node(){
in = null;
}
public Node(String n){
in = null;
name = n;
}
public void setIn(Node n){
in = n;
}
public Node getIn(){
return in;
}
public void setName(String n){
name = n;
}
public String getName(){
return name;
}
public class Main{
public static void main(String args[]){
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
LinkedList bi = new LinkedList();
while(true){
System.out.println("Choose!\n[a] Insert Name\n[b] Delete\n[c] Show\n[d] Exit");
char c = scan.next().charAt(0);
System.out.println();
if(c == 'a'){
System.out.print("Enter Name: ");
bi.insert(scan.next());
System.out.println();
}
else if(c == 'b'){
System.out.print("Enter Name to delete: ");
bi.delete(scan.next());
System.out.println();
}
else if(c == 'c'){
bi.show();
System.out.println();
}
else if(c == 'd'){
System.exit(0);
}
}
}
}
class LinkedList{
private Node root;
public LinkedList(){
root = null;
}
public void insert(String n){
root = insert(root, n);
}
private Node insert(Node n, String r){
if(n == null){
n = new Node(r);
}
else{
n.in = insert(n.in, r);
}
return n;
}
public void delete(String n){
root = delete(root, n);
}
private Node delete(Node n, String r){
}
public void show(){
show(root);
}
private Node show(Node n){
if(n == null){
System.out.println("Empy list!");
}
else{
while(n!=null){
System.out.println(n.getName());
n = n.getIn();
}
}
return n;
}
}
*i don't know how to delete a node . What should i put on my delete method?
public void delete(String n){
root = delete(root, n);
}
private Node delete(Node n, String r){
}

To delete Node you actually need to update it's previous node's in to be deleting Node's in, and the left alone Node will eventually get garbage collected.
Just one catch if node to be deleted is the root node than update root node.
private Node delete(Node root, String data)
{
Node n=null;
//in case list is empty then return
if(root==null) return n;
if (root.name.equals(data))
{
n = root;
root = null;
return n;
}
while(root.in!=null)
{
if (root.in.name.equals(data))
{
//save the reference
n=root.in;
//making root.in to be garbage collected
root.in = root.in.in;
break;
}
root = root.in;
}
return n;
}
