10 /**
11 * Linked list implementation of the <tt>List</tt> interface. Implements all
12 * optional list operations, and permits all elements (including
13 * <tt>null</tt>). In addition to implementing the <tt>List</tt> interface,
14 * the <tt>LinkedList</tt> class provides uniformly named methods to
15 * <tt>get</tt>, <tt>remove</tt> and <tt>insert</tt> an element at the
16 * beginning and end of the list. These operations allow linked lists to be
17 * used as a stack, {@linkplain Queue queue}, or {@linkplain Deque
18 * double-ended queue}. <p>
19 *
20 * The class implements the <tt>Deque</tt> interface, providing
21 * first-in-first-out queue operations for <tt>add</tt>,
22 * <tt>poll</tt>, along with other stack and deque operations.<p>
23 *
24 * All of the operations perform as could be expected for a doubly-linked
25 * list. Operations that index into the list will traverse the list from
26 * the beginning or the end, whichever is closer to the specified index.<p>
27 *
28 * <b>Note that this implementation is not synchronized.</b> If multiple
29 * threads access a list concurrently, and at least one of the threads
30 * modifies the list structurally, it <i>must</i> be synchronized
31 * externally. (A structural modification is any operation that adds or
32 * deletes one or more elements; merely setting the value of an element is not
33 * a structural modification.) This is typically accomplished by
34 * synchronizing on some object that naturally encapsulates the list. If no
35 * such object exists, the list should be "wrapped" using the
36 * Collections.synchronizedList method. This is best done at creation time,
37 * to prevent accidental unsynchronized access to the list: <pre>
38 * List list = Collections.synchronizedList(new LinkedList(...));
39 * </pre>
40 *
41 * <p>The iterators returned by this class's <tt>iterator</tt> and
42 * <tt>listIterator</tt> methods are <i>fail-fast</i>: if the list is
43 * structurally modified at any time after the iterator is created, in
44 * any way except through the Iterator's own <tt>remove</tt> or
45 * <tt>add</tt> methods, the iterator will throw a {@link
46 * ConcurrentModificationException}. Thus, in the face of concurrent
47 * modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than
48 * risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined
49 * time in the future.
50 *
51 * <p>Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed
52 * as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the
53 * presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators
54 * throw <tt>ConcurrentModificationException</tt> on a best-effort basis.
55 * Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this
56 * exception for its correctness: <i>the fail-fast behavior of iterators
57 * should be used only to detect bugs.</i>
58 *
59 * <p>This class is a member of the
60 * <a href="{@docRoot}/../guide/collections/index.html">
61 * Java Collections Framework</a>.
