Get SubList from LinkedList Java example

This java example shows how to get a sublist from Java LinkedList using subList method.

import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.List;

public class GetSubListLinkedListJavaExample {

 public static void main(String[] args) {

  // create LinkedList object
  LinkedList lList = new LinkedList();

  // add elements to LinkedList
  lList.add("1");
  lList.add("2");
  lList.add("3");
  lList.add("4");
  lList.add("5");

  System.out.println("LinkedList contains : " + lList);

  /**
   * To get a sublist from Java LinkedList, use List subList(int start,
   * int end) method.
   * 
   * This method returns portion of list containing element from start
   * index inclusive to end index exclusive.
   **/

  List lst = lList.subList(1, 4);
  System.out.println("Sublist contains : " + lst);

  /**
   * Please note that sublist is backed by the original list, so any
   * changes made to sublist will also be reflected back to original
   * LinkedList
   **/

  // remove element from sublist
  lst.remove(2);
  System.out.println("Sublist now contains : " + lst);
  System.out.println("Original LinkedList now contains : " + lList);
 }
}

The output is:



LinkedList contains : [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Sublist contains : [2, 3, 4]
Sublist now contains : [2, 3]
Original LinkedList now contains : [1, 2, 3, 5]
