Question

Please answer the questiong correctly, show approprite code and output of compiled code.

Linked Lists [10 marks]

Create a concrete LinkedList class that extends the provided ALinkedList class. You will need to override the extract method in your class. You can use your main method for testing your method (although you do not need to provide a main method).

Recall that a list is an ordered collection of data

The extract(int start, int end) method removes all elements

from the list. It also returns all removed elements as a new list (LinkedList) that retains the same ordering.

For example, if the initial list called animals was

then animals.extract(1,5) would return the new list

and animals would now be the list
