The Java LinkedList removeFirstOccurrence(Object) method removes the first occurrence of the specified element in this linkedList. This operation modifies the LinkedList instance.
DeclarationFollowing is the declaration for java.util.LinkedList.removeFirstOccurrence(o) method
public boolean removeFirstOccurrence(Object o)Parameters
o − The element whose first occurrence is to be removed from this linkedList, if present.
Return ValueThis method returns true if the linkedList contains the specified element.
ExceptionNA
Removing First Occurence of Element from a LinkedList of Integers ExampleThe following example shows the usage of Java LinkedList removeFirstOccurrence() method with Integers. We're creating an LinkedList of Integers, adding some elements, print it and then use removeFirstOccurrence() method to remove first occurence of an element. As LinkedList is modified it is printed to check if first occurence of that element is removed or not.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.LinkedList; public class LinkedListDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create an empty linkedList LinkedList<Integer> linkedList = new LinkedList<>(); // use add() method to add elements in the linkedList linkedList.add(25); linkedList.add(30); linkedList.add(20); linkedList.add(18); linkedList.add(20); // let us print all the elements available in linkedList System.out.println("LinkedList = " + linkedList); // it will remove first occurrence of element System.out.println("Element removed : " + linkedList.removeFirstOccurrence(20)); // let us print all the elements available in linkedList again System.out.println("LinkedList = " + linkedList); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
LinkedList = [25, 30, 20, 18, 20] Element removed : true LinkedList = [25, 30, 18, 20]Removing First Occurence of an Element from a LinkedList of Strings Example
The following example shows the usage of Java LinkedList removeFirstOccurrence() method with Strings. We're creating an LinkedList of Strings, adding some elements, print it and then use removeFirstOccurrence() method to remove first occurence of an element. As LinkedList is modified it is printed to check if first occurence of that element is removed or not.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.LinkedList; public class LinkedListDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create an empty linkedList LinkedList<String> linkedList = new LinkedList<>(); // use add() method to add elements in the linkedList linkedList.add("A"); linkedList.add("B"); linkedList.add("C"); linkedList.add("D"); linkedList.add("C"); // let us print all the elements available in linkedList System.out.println("LinkedList = " + linkedList); // it will remove first occurrence of element System.out.println("Element removed : " + linkedList.removeFirstOccurrence("C")); // let us print all the elements available in linkedList again System.out.println("LinkedList = " + linkedList); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
LinkedList = [A, B, C, D, C] Element removed : true LinkedList = [A, B, D, C]Removing First Occurence of an Element from a LinkedList of Objects Example
The following example shows the usage of Java LinkedList removeFirstOccurrence() method with Student objects. We're creating an LinkedList of Student objects, adding some elements, print it and then use removeFirstOccurrence() method to remove first occurence of an element. As LinkedList is modified it is printed to check if first occurence of that element is removed or not.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.LinkedList; 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")); linkedList.add(new Student(2, "Robert")); // let us print all the elements available in linkedList System.out.println("LinkedList = " + linkedList); // it will remove first occurrence of element System.out.println("Element removed : " + linkedList.removeFirstOccurrence(new Student(2, "Robert"))); // let us print all the elements available in linkedList again System.out.println("LinkedList = " + linkedList); } } 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 −
LinkedList = [[ 1, Julie ], [ 2, Robert ], [ 3, Adam ], [ 2, Robert ]] Element removed : true LinkedList = [[ 1, Julie ], [ 3, Adam ], [ 2, Robert ]]
