LinkedList
LinkedList is Canadian Mind Products’ replacement for Java Vector class. It is implemented as a classical doubly linked list. It is faster than Vector for insert/delete, but slower for indexed access. The interface is modeled on java.util.Vector, so you can try it both ways and pick which is faster for your needs. Heavily commented Java source is included. Download. Beware java.awt.List, java.util. List and java.util.LinkedList are not the same animal.

You can use LinkedList to create a LIFO (Last In First Out) stack — use only addFirst, removeFirst or a FIFO (First In First Out) queue — use only addFirst, removeLast.
