/**
* Linked list implementation of the <tt>List</tt> interface. Implements all
* optional list operations, and permits all elements (including
* <tt>null</tt>). In addition to implementing the <tt>List</tt> interface,
* the <tt>LinkedList</tt> class provides uniformly named methods to
* <tt>get</tt>, <tt>remove</tt> and <tt>insert</tt> an element at the
* beginning and end of the list. These operations allow linked lists to be
* used as a stack, {@linkplain Queue queue}, or {@linkplain Deque
* double-ended queue}. <p>
*
* The class implements the <tt>Deque</tt> interface, providing
* first-in-first-out queue operations for <tt>add</tt>,
* <tt>poll</tt>, along with other stack and deque operations.<p>
*
* All of the operations perform as could be expected for a doubly-linked
* list. Operations that index into the list will traverse the list from
* the beginning or the end, whichever is closer to the specified index.<p>
*
* <p><strong>Note that this implementation is not synchronized.</strong>
* If multiple threads access a linked list concurrently, and at least
* one of the threads modifies the list structurally, it <i>must</i> be
* synchronized externally. (A structural modification is any operation
* that adds or deletes one or more elements; merely setting the value of
* an element is not a structural modification.) This is typically
* accomplished by synchronizing on some object that naturally
* encapsulates the list.
*
* If no such object exists, the list should be "wrapped" using the
* {@link Collections#synchronizedList Collections.synchronizedList}
* method. This is best done at creation time, to prevent accidental
* unsynchronized access to the list:<pre>
* List list = Collections.synchronizedList(new LinkedList(...));</pre>
*
* <p>The iterators returned by this class's <tt>iterator</tt> and
* <tt>listIterator</tt> methods are <i>fail-fast</i>: if the list is
* structurally modified at any time after the iterator is created, in
* any way except through the Iterator's own <tt>remove</tt> or
* <tt>add</tt> methods, the iterator will throw a {@link
* ConcurrentModificationException}. Thus, in the face of concurrent
* modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than
* risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined
* time in the future.
*
* <p>Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed
* as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the
* presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators
* throw <tt>ConcurrentModificationException</tt> on a best-effort basis.
* Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this
* exception for its correctness: <i>the fail-fast behavior of iterators
* should be used only to detect bugs.</i>
*
* <p>This class is a member of the
* <a href="{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/collections/index.html">
