The toString()
method will return the string representation of the LinkedList
object with the string representation of each element in the list.
In Java, a
LinkedList
is a doubly-linked list implementation of theList
andDeque
interfaces. TheLinkedList
class is present in thejava.util
package. Read more about theLinkedList
here.
public String toString()
This method doesn’t take any arguments.
This method returns a string. This string contains the elements of the list in the insertion order enclosed between []
and separated by a comma. Internally, the elements are converted to string using the String.valueOf(Object)
method.
The code below demonstrates how the toString()
method can be used.
import java.util.LinkedList;class LinkedListAdd {public static void main( String args[] ) {LinkedList<Integer> list = new LinkedList<>();list.add(1);list.add(2);list.add(3);System.out.println(list.toString());}}
In line 1: We imported the LinkedList
class.
In line 4: We created a new LinkedList
object with the name list
.
From lines 5-7: We added three elements (1
,2
,3
) to list
using the add()
method.
In line 8: We used the toString()
method to get the string representation of list
.
