How to create a linked list in java
A Linked list is a linked data structure, it built like set of nodes and each node contain two portions (Data portion & Node Reference portion).Data is always stored in Data portion (Maybe primitive data types eg Int, Float .etc or we can store user-defined data type also eg. Object reference) and similiarly Node Reference portion may connected to another node if it really had neighbor node or otherwise Reference portion marked as NULL.LinkedList.java
