JAVA Program for Deletion from End of a Doubly Linked List
JAVA Program to Delete a Node from the End of a Doubly Linked Last
Each variation of Data Structure has some basic list of operations that can be performed on them one of them is Deletion from Various Nodes. Here in this page we’ll take a look at the detailed explanation of the Delete Operation from the End of a Doubly Linked List.
Example: If we have a list (10 –> 20 –> 30 –> 40 –> 50) and we have to Delete the node storing 50. So after Deleting the Last Node. Updated Linked list will be (10 –> 20 –> 30 –>40) . We will be learning more about the whole process in the explanation below.


Steps to be followed while Inserting a Node at the Beginning of a Doubly Linked List
- Check for the presence of Node in the List, if there exists some Nodes, Continue.
- Now, to Delete a node from the end of the Doubly Linked List, we’ll have to redirect links of the Linked List.
- Let the length of the List = i.
- First of all the next pointer of the (i-1)th node of the Linked List will now be re-directed towards the Tail of the Linked List.


Algorithm to be used for the Deletion of a Node from the End of a Doubly Linked List
- IF(HEAD == NULL)
- RETURN
- ELSE IF(HEAD != TAIL)
- HEAD = HEAD.NEXT
- TAIL.NEXT = NULL
- ELSE
- HEAD = TAIL = NULL
Java Program for Insertion in the end of a Doubly Linked List
public class PrepInsta { //Constitiute a node of the doubly linked list class Node{ int data; Node prev; Node next; public Node(int data) { this.data = data; } } // Function to traverse and print the linked list public void display() { Node temp = head; while (temp != null) { System.out.print(temp.data + "–>"); // Set temp to point to the next node temp = temp.next; } System.out.println("END"); } //Constitiute the head and tail of the doubly linked list Node head, tail = null; //appendAtEnd function will add a node to the end of the list public void addNode(int data) { //Create a new node Node newNode = new Node(data); //Check if the list is empty if(head == null) { head = tail = newNode; head.prev = null; tail.next = null; } //Append newNode as new tail of the list else { //newNode will be added after tail such that tail's next will point to newNode tail.next = newNode; //newNode's previous will point to tail newNode.prev = tail; //newNode will become new tail tail = newNode; //As it is last node, tail's next will point to null tail.next = null; } } public void deleteLast() { if(head == null) { return; } else { if(head != tail) { tail = tail.prev; tail.next = null; } else { head = tail = null; } } } //print() will print the nodes of the doubly linked list void print() { //Node current will point to head Node curr = head; if(head == null) { System.out.println("List is empty"); return; } while(curr != null) { //Prints each node by increasing order of the pointer System.out.print(curr.data + " "); curr = curr.next; } System.out.println(); } public static void main(String[] args) { PrepInsta dList = new PrepInsta(); dList.addNode(10); dList.addNode(20); dList.addNode(30); dList.addNode(40); dList.addNode(50); System.out.println("Initial Doubly Linked List: "); dList.print(); dList.deleteLast(); System.out.println("Doubly Linked List after Deletion from End: "); dList.print(); } }
Initial Doubly Linked List: 10 20 30 40 50 Doubly Linked List after Deletion from End: 10 20 30 40
