I might be missing something totally obvious here, but where in your

Ok, I did that but by doing so, I had to change the private access of
head to protected for it to work. At this point, I'm unsure and too
tired to think whether this is accepted for the 'data hiding' theory
part of Javs. Professors are adamant throughout my courses that
everytihng is declared as private.


Another sidenote: you should stick to the standard conventions of CS,
like that the first element of a list has the index '0', not '1' as in
your case (see for instance arrays, the java.util collections, ...)

What do you mean by "CS"?


I think he means: CS = computer science.

To the OP: your main() method ought to do something to display or otherwise
prove that the contents of your list are what you expect them to be.

Noted...the next time I post something of this nature, I shall include
external debugging statements within the code.

Thanks guys, for your input. :)
