C# LinkedList Tutorial How to Use A Linked List

C# LinkedList Tutorial How to Use A Linked List
Quick tutorial on how to use LinkedLists in C#. A LinkedList may not be the most commonly used structure out there, but its implementation is a common question that's faced in technical interviews. There are also cases where you may choose to use one when implementing collision handling in Hash Tables. So, check it out!

I already know all of this was watching just as a reminder but don't stop making videos deffo one of the best explanations I've seen, helps that your voice doesn't put me to sleep either haha.

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Much appreciated!

[@formerfatboy90]

Hey, thanks so much for this. I've done a couple of learning sessions for linked lists at my developer job. You really helped me understand the process better.

[@phillyphill5228]

Thanks for this tutorial. I'm working on an assignment on LinkedLists and sadly our instructor barely discussed them! You helped me out a ton, thank you again!

[@kathyclemons939]

you were more helpful than my college professor and you're free! subbed and liked hope that helps :)

[@zakerdoodle]

Brilliant! Extremely helpful, thank you!!

[@edithedith1974]

The simplest explanation ever, thank you.

[@tiaanadlem]

Thanks so much for the great explanation. Linked lists was doing my head in.

[@wholesomedegenerate869]

I understood in 17 minutes what my professor had been jabbering on for about an hour haha Thank you for the video!!

[@eyobaleameha7345]

finally after going through so many videos I was able to piece everything together or atleast this much thank you!

[@atheeralattar8893]

You deserve to be known, great job!

[@jopaslona1]

Using linked lists in C# is so much better than in C. Don`t have to bother with all of this pointers and dynamic memory allocation madness. Thank you very much!

[@catherineb1940]

Thank you! 🙌 you explained this so well! 👌

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Thanks for checking out the video, and for your kind words!

[@peculiarpeculiar2504]

I just finished the video and it was wonderful to be honest.

[@bluestripes6037]

Thank you, you're a very good explainer.

[@ronjohnson123]

great video, 100% one of the best explanations ive seen

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Wow, thanks!

[@andrewmccoy3773]

this video is perfect thanks

[@michaelgraf49]

Thanks dude needed this for a programming test (:

[@heartagram_andreea]

clear and concise explanation! thank you!

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lazarnikolovski7571]

Thank you so much!! Such a great explanation!

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Glad it was helpful!

[@athariealfuraih8115]

Thank you so much !!! highly recommend this video ( very simple explanation )

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Glad it helped!

[@deaconuadrian6554]

Thank you for the video

[@lukasgraw5129]

Great video

[@usmankiyani5209]

Thank you so much!

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Thanks Usman!

[@amikawi]

Really helpful video. Thanks!

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Glad it was helpful!

[@johnbrown-zm3xl]

good tutorial, cleared a lot of things up

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Glad it helped!

[@wahwah12wahwah12]

great explanation!

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Glad you think so!

[@prachiksh]

Very well explain from scratch Got the concept Visual explanation was brilliant Thankyou

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Glad to hear it. If you have any other questions about data structures then we'd be happy to try and help explain those too.

[@rahuljadhav4987]

Thanks a lot :)

[@omersultan6419]

This is such a great video! Thanks for the concise explanation and great examples

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Glad it was helpful!

[@be_it_a_15_chinmay_dali74]

Very well explained mate! I have a question it maybe a stupid one but the thing is I written these programs in C++ where we can use pointers and you explained it the same way which was great btw but the thing I am struggling right now is that "how does C# interprets these references without since C# doesn't support pointers"

[@tharwania]

everything class object in c# is pointer

[@ravindharnalagati4274]

thanku soo much for this in order to reterive from file like string type n how to store in linked list

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

I'm glad that the video was helpful to you. Did you end up getting your project done?

[@vizijayt]

The simplest explanation ever, thank you. Can you tell for what kind of the tasks linked lists are good for?

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Hey, I'd say that the utility of linkedlists in day to day development is really dependent on what sort of work you're doing. If you need to maintain history, sequences, and want to use a Linkedlist, then I don't think anyone would mind. It's node based mechanics and dynamic size make it relatively simple to use. A common example is maintaining a history in software that you may use to edit photos. You may want the ability to step backwards/forwards through your previous actions, and this can be maintained fairly well with a Linkedlist.

[@vizijayt]

Journey To Programming thank you for the answer!

[@dominickdavis1580]

Hello, great video! I have a question though. How exactly would I pass a node as a method parameter?

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Hey, glad the video helped. Normally you'd pass a root (or tail) node of the tree or subtree. Depending on your language, you can make your node class the parameter.

[@thesupereman22]

Keep making content! It good

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Thanks, Elie. I appreciate the comment!

[@graazgautam]

Hey, well explained. How could i make it read in text file and output text file?

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Are you looking to read in data from a text file and store it in a linkedlist and then spit it back out into a text file when done? Or do you just need to read/write to a text file in general?

[@altair91100]

When I want to add methods like adding a node to the end or just in the middle, how do I make other nodes reference to the nodes I am creating right now? Should they have an index or something?

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Hey Altair, not sure if you figured this out already, but the node class should have a reference to the prev or next node.

[@cydthekid3809]

thanks

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

You're welcome!

[@jesuskristus18]

You deserve more views. Thanks for the great tutorial! Is it possible to email your for help?

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Hey Alexander, thanks for the comment. Sure thing, feel free to reach out at [e-mail]

[@expertreviews1112]

You shoulda dropped a github link with this code... been much easier for us instead of rewinding the video 20x times back and forth

[@kexetmine]

👍

[@eyobaleameha7345]

woohoooo

[@omarbanisalman2326]

At 7:53 of the Video a wild lion enters the room...

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Haha. It's half a year after you posted this comment and I still get a chuckle out of it. That's our ferocious lion of a cat named Spock.

[@danielruizleyva3825]

Literally a lion. Expecting to see a Kitty while rewatching

[@DataQuestLive]

So i did exactly what you did and Nothing was printed....

[@ishansinha9214]

write Console.ReadKey(); in the list line of Main function

[@tylerrogan4306]

You went over everything in sufficient detail. Yet, I am not able to follow along and understand what each piece is doing. When you go off into detail about situations for example where you need to keep track of the count of nodes, etc. it is very confusing for a beginner trying to grasp this concept. Just some attempted constructive feedback. I will need to approach learning this from a different angle.

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Thanks for the feedback Tyler. It's very much appreciated. I hope you were able to clear up things around linked lists. Send me a pm if you have specific questions. Happy to help elaborate on areas I was vague.

[@greg5326]

Please separate the concepts part from the code part. I personally think explaining what a linked list is becomes just a waste of time at the point you are clicking on "how to implement a linked list in C#"

[@journeytoprogramming5289]

Hey Greg, that's actually great feedback and I very much appreciate it. Thanks for sharing, and I'll take note in future videos as I completely agree

[@greg5326]

@@journeytoprogramming5289 Yea, no sweat. And thanks for mentioning the established class for linked lists as well. I meant to give the praise with the criticism, so pardon the delay.
