The Java LinkedList descendingIterator() method returns an iterator over the elements in this list in reverse sequence. It helps to iterate elements from last to first or from tail to head.
DeclarationFollowing is the declaration for java.util.LinkedList.descendingIterator() method
public Iterator<E> descendingIterator()Parameters
NA
Return ValueThis method returns an iterator over the elements in this list in reverse sequence.
ExceptionNA
Getting Iterator to Iterate LinkedList of Integers in Descending Order ExampleThe following example shows the usage of Java LinkedList descendingIterator() method. We're creating a LinkedList of Integers. We're adding couple of Integers to the LinkedList object using add() method calls per element and using descendingIterator() method, we're iterating the list and print all the elements in reverse order.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.LinkedList; import java.util.Iterator; public class LinkedListDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create an empty linked list LinkedList<Integer> linkedList = new LinkedList<>(); // use add() method to add elements in the linkedList linkedList.add(0); linkedList.add(1); linkedList.add(2); linkedList.add(3); linkedList.add(4); linkedList.add(5); linkedList.add(6); Iterator<Integer> iterator = linkedList.descendingIterator(); iterator.forEachRemaining(i -> System.out.println(i)); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

The following example shows the usage of Java LinkedList descendingIterator() method. We're creating a LinkedList of Strings. We're adding couple of Strings to the LinkedList object using add() method calls per element and using descendingIterator() method, we're iterating the list and print all the elements in reverse order.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.LinkedList; import java.util.Iterator; public class LinkedListDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create an empty linked list LinkedList<String> linkedList = new LinkedList<>(); // use add() method to add elements in the linkedList linkedList.add("A"); linkedList.add("B"); linkedList.add("C"); Iterator<String> iterator = linkedList.descendingIterator(); iterator.forEachRemaining(i -> System.out.println(i)); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
C B AGetting Iterator to Iterate LinkedList of Objects in Descending Order Example
The following example shows the usage of Java LinkedList descendingIterator() method. We're creating a LinkedList of Student objects. We're adding couple of Student objects to the LinkedList object using add() method calls per element and using descendingIterator() method, we're iterating the list and print all the elements in reverse order.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.LinkedList; import java.util.Iterator; public class LinkedListDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create an empty linkedList LinkedList<Student> linkedList = new LinkedList<>(); // use add() method to add elements in the linkedList linkedList.add(new Student(1, "Julie")); linkedList.add(new Student(2, "Robert")); linkedList.add(new Student(3, "Adam")); Iterator<Student> iterator = linkedList.descendingIterator(); iterator.forEachRemaining(i -> System.out.println(i)); } } class Student { int rollNo; String name; Student(int rollNo, String name){ this.rollNo = rollNo; this.name = name; } @Override public String toString() { return "[ " + this.rollNo + ", " + this.name + " ]"; } @Override public boolean equals(Object obj) { Student s = (Student)obj; return this.rollNo == s.rollNo && this.name.equalsIgnoreCase(s.name); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
[ 3, Adam ] [ 2, Robert ] [ 1, Julie ]
