Java program to delete a node from the beginning of the singly linked list

            //Prints each node by incrementing pointer  
            System.out.print(current.data + " ");  
            current = current.next;  
        }  
        System.out.println();  
    }  
  
    public static void main(String[] args) {  
  
        DeleteStart sList = new DeleteStart();  
  
        //Adds data to the list  
        sList.addNode(1);  
        sList.addNode(2);  
        sList.addNode(3);  
        sList.addNode(4);  
  
        //Printing original list

Output:

Original List: 
1 2 3 4 
Updated List: 
2 3 4 
Updated List: 
3 4 
Updated List: 
4 
Updated List: 
List is empty
