Tas0 1' Linked-list
Purpose:
Creation of a linked-list in order to be used in the hash table implementation.
In a linked list, objects are arranged in a linear order, determined by a reference in each
object, providing a fleible representation for dynamic sets.
!he recursi.it4 in the program "orks by invoking the method: #set6ord($ method$ putting the
"ords inside the linked list as "ell counting each one of them.
%irst, the method compares the "ord that "as fed into the method if the "ord already eists
&count ' (& )keeps track of repeated "ords* other"ise go to the net object, if an object eists
that is: &not null& then calls again )in a recursi.e "ay* the &set+ord)*& method in order to count
it do"n again and put it into the net position inside the Linked-list, on the other hand if the
net object )element* in the Linked-list is the last element &net -- null&, then creates a ne"
object inside the Linked-list.
.ere&s the code of the method:
//put method, increments 012count013 if 012"013 matches 012"ord013. If they are
different and if the net object eists, 012"013 is passed on to the net object. 4ther"ise, it
creates a ne" object for 012"013
