Size of LinkedList

Its very important to know the size of LinkedList as it is required in most of the times while coding

We have size() method in LinkedList class which helps us to determine the size of LinkedList

Size is the number of elements in that LinkedList

public int size()

Example :

import java.util.*;

public class LinkedListSize {
      public static void main(String[] args) {
      LinkedList<Integer> list = new LinkedList<Integer>();
      list.add(14);
      list.add(7);
      list.add(21);
      list.add(28);
      list.add(35);
      list.add(42);	 
      System.out.println("Initial Size of LinkedList: "+list.size());
      list.remove(1);
      list.remove(2);
      System.out.println("Size after removing 2 elements: "+list.size());
      System.out.println("Final LinkedList after removal of 2 elements: ");
      for(int ele: list){
           System.out.println(ele);
        }
	}
}

Output

Initial Size of LinkedList: 6
Size after removing 2 elements: 4
Final LinkedList after removal of 2 elements:
14
21
35
42

Here Size just tells how many elements are present in the LinkedList

Don’t get confuse size with capacity in the LinkedList, we will talk about capacity separately

Just remember Size() returns number of elements present in LinkedList

Remember size() is a method , not a variable in the LinkedList class.
