/**
 * Linked list implementation of the List interface. In addition to the
 * methods of the List interface, this class provides access to the first
 * and last list elements in O(1) time for easy stack, queue, or double-ended
 * queue (deque) creation. The list is doubly-linked, with traversal to a
 * given index starting from the end closest to the element.<p>
 *
 * LinkedList is not synchronized, so if you need multi-threaded access,
 * consider using:<br>
 * <code>List l = Collections.synchronizedList(new LinkedList(...));</code>
 * <p>
 *
 * The iterators are <i>fail-fast</i>, meaning that any structural
 * modification, except for <code>remove()</code> called on the iterator
 * itself, cause the iterator to throw a
 * {@link ConcurrentModificationException} rather than exhibit
 * non-deterministic behavior.
