Re: boolean linkedlist help
What is the contains() method searching for? The Node x or a Node with the value of x?
You need to post a bit more code to show what variables are defined in the linkedlist class and the Node class.
Its not clear what the 3 args to the Node class are.
How does the next variable in the Node class get a value? The following statement assumes it has a value:if(current.next != x)

Re: boolean linkedlist help
to make it short my list contains 1,2,3,4,5 nodes. this method is being called in main as contains(list.3); is 3 is in the list which it is then it will print out true. if 3 is not the it will print false; im extending from another class so putting that up will be a waste of time because of how huge it is. the 3 args are (data, beginMarker, EndMarker). but the variables beginmarker and endmarker are private variables that i cannot call. i am not allowed to change around any pre written code.
Re: boolean linkedlist help
Without definitions for the classes I can't see what is wrong or how to make it better.
Linked list classes are normally very short. If yours is big for some reason, remove all the code that is not needed for testing this method. I'd think you'd need an add() method to build the list and a show() method to display its contents. And a driver method to call the other methods for testing.
Leave the rest out.

Re: boolean linkedlist help
the class we are extending from is indeed long for some odd reason. thats called from two classes im developing. i understand what you are talking about how its hard for you to go on what i have. most examples i have found online have a node as a passing arguement. i cant seem to find anything else.
Re: boolean linkedlist help
Sorry, without the code I can't make any suggestions, other than those in post#2
If you post any code, be sure to strip out any unrelated code.
