Struct std::collections::LinkedList

pub struct LinkedList<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

A doubly-linked list with owned nodes.

The LinkedList allows pushing and popping elements at either end in constant time.

Almost always it is better to use Vec or VecDeque instead of LinkedList. In general, array-based containers are faster, more memory efficient and make better use of CPU cache.

Methods

impl<T> LinkedList<T>

pub fn new() -> LinkedList<T>

Creates an empty LinkedList.

Examples

use std::collections::LinkedList;

let list: LinkedList<u32> = LinkedList::new();

pub fn append(&mut self, other: &mut LinkedList<T>)

Moves all elements from other to the end of the list.

This reuses all the nodes from other and moves them into self. After this operation, other becomes empty.

This operation should compute in O(1) time and O(1) memory.

Examples

use std::collections::LinkedList;

let mut list1 = LinkedList::new();
list1.push_back('a');

let mut list2 = LinkedList::new();
list2.push_back('b');
list2.push_back('c');

list1.append(&mut list2);

let mut iter = list1.iter();
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&'a'));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&'b'));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&'c'));
assert!(iter.next().is_none());

assert!(list2.is_empty());

Important traits for DrainFilter<'a, T, F>

impl<'a, T, F> Iterator for DrainFilter<'a, T, F> where
    F: FnMut(&mut T) -> bool,  type Item = T;

pub fn drain_filter<F>(&mut self, filter: F) -> DrainFilter<T, F> where     F: FnMut(&mut T) -> bool,

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (drain_filter #43244)

recently added

Creates an iterator which uses a closure to determine if an element should be removed.

If the closure returns true, then the element is removed and yielded. If the closure returns false, the element will remain in the list and will not be yielded by the iterator.

Note that drain_filter lets you mutate every element in the filter closure, regardless of whether you choose to keep or remove it.

Examples

Splitting a list into evens and odds, reusing the original list:

#![feature(drain_filter)]
use std::collections::LinkedList;

let mut numbers: LinkedList<u32> = LinkedList::new();
numbers.extend(&[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15]);

let evens = numbers.drain_filter(|x| *x % 2 == 0).collect::<LinkedList<_>>();
let odds = numbers;

assert_eq!(evens.into_iter().collect::<Vec<_>>(), vec![2, 4, 6, 8, 14]);
assert_eq!(odds.into_iter().collect::<Vec<_>>(), vec![1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13, 15]);

pub fn front_place(&mut self) -> FrontPlace<T>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (collection_placement #30172)

method name and placement protocol are subject to change

Returns a place for insertion at the front of the list.

Using this method with placement syntax is equivalent to push_front, but may be more efficient.

Examples

#![feature(collection_placement)]
#![feature(placement_in_syntax)]

use std::collections::LinkedList;

let mut list = LinkedList::new();
list.front_place() <- 2;
list.front_place() <- 4;
assert!(list.iter().eq(&[4, 2]));

pub fn back_place(&mut self) -> BackPlace<T>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (collection_placement #30172)

method name and placement protocol are subject to change

Returns a place for insertion at the back of the list.

Using this method with placement syntax is equivalent to push_back, but may be more efficient.

Examples

#![feature(collection_placement)]
#![feature(placement_in_syntax)]

use std::collections::LinkedList;

let mut list = LinkedList::new();
list.back_place() <- 2;
list.back_place() <- 4;
assert!(list.iter().eq(&[2, 4]));
