Design Linked List

Design your implementation of the linked list. You can choose to use the singly linked list or the doubly linked list. A node in a singly linked list should have two attributes:val andnext.valis the value of the current node, andnext is a pointer/reference to the next node. If you want to use the doubly linked list, you will need one more attributeprevto indicate the previous node in the linked list. Assume all nodes in the linked list are 0-indexed.

Implement these functions in your linked list class:

  • get(index) : Get the value of theindex-th node in the linked list. If the index is invalid, return-1

  • addAtHead(val) : Add a node of valueval before the first element of the linked list. After the insertion, the new node will be the first node of the linked list.

  • addAtTail(val) : Append a node of valueval to the last element of the linked list.

  • addAtIndex(index, val) : Add a node of valueval before theindex-th node in the linked list. Ifindex equals to the length of linked list, the node will be appended to the end of linked list. If index is greater than the length, the node will not be inserted.

  • deleteAtIndex(index) : Delete theindex-th node in the linked list, if the index is valid.

Example:

MyLinkedList linkedList = new MyLinkedList();
linkedList.addAtHead(1);
linkedList.addAtTail(3);
linkedList.addAtIndex(1, 2);  // linked list becomes 1->2->3
linkedList.get(1);            // returns 2
linkedList.deleteAtIndex(1);  // now the linked list is 1->3
linkedList.get(1);            // returns 3

Note:

  • All values will be in the range of[1, 1000]

  • The number of operations will be in the range of [1, 1000]

  • Please do not use the built-in LinkedList library.
