In CS courses, you will often come across data structures that are created through a linkage of nodes. Some examples include Linked List and graph data structures. Today, we look at the Java OOP method of tackling this problem! We will begin by building a simple data structure, extensible for use in many different applications. Recommended Pre-requisite knowledge for the best learning experience: - Basic Java knowledge - Basic Object Oriented Programming knowledge, preferably in Java = Contents = Want to skip ahead?
