Java program to find the maximum and minimum value node from a linked list
public class MinMax {
//Represent a node of the singly linked list
class Node{
int data;
Node next;
public Node(int data) {
this.data = data;
this.next = null;
}
}
//Represent the head and tail of the singly linked list
public Node head = null;
public Node tail = null;
//addNode() will add a new node to the list
public void addNode(int data) {
//Create a new node
Node newNode = new Node(data);
//Checks if the list is empty
if(head == null) {
//If list is empty, both head and tail will point to new node
head = newNode;
tail = newNode;
}
else {
//newNode will be added after tail such that tail's next will point to newNode
tail.next = newNode;
//newNode will become new tail of the list
tail = newNode;
}
}
//minNode() will find out the minimum value node in the list
public void minNode() {
Node current = head;
int min;
if(head == null) {
System.out.println("List is empty");
}
else {
//Initializing min with head node data
min = head.data;
while(current != null){
//If current node's data is smaller than min
//Then, replace value of min with current node's data
if(min > current.data) {
min = current.data;
}
current= current.next;
}
System.out.println("Minimum value node in the list: "+ min);
}
}
//maxNode() will find out the maximum value node in the list
public void maxNode() {
Node current = head;
int max;
if(head == null) {
System.out.println("List is empty");
}
else {
//Initializing max with head node data
max = head.data;
while(current != null){
//If current node's data is greater than max
//Then, replace value of max with current node's data
if(max < current.data) {
max = current.data;
}
current = current.next;
}
System.out.println("Maximum value node in the list: "+ max);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
MinMax sList = new MinMax();
//Adds data to the list
sList.addNode(5);
sList.addNode(8);
sList.addNode(1);
sList.addNode(6);
//Display the minimum value node in the list
sList.minNode();
//Display the maximum value node in the list
sList.maxNode();
}
}
Output:
Minimum value node in the list: 1
Maximum value node in the list: 8
