    Default Remove at index method for singly linked list... what's wrong?

    Hi,

    I'm trying to create a public E remove(int index) method. What am I doing wrong here?

    		 /** removes the element at the specified position in this list.
    		  *  Shifts any subsequent elements to the left (subtracts one
    		  *  from their indices.
    		  *  @return the element that was removed from the list
    		  *  @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException
    		  */
    		 public E remove(int index) {
    			 Node<E> temp = head;
    		     if (index < 0 || index >= size) {
    		         throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException(Integer.toString(index));
    		     }
    		     if (index == 0) {
    		    	 E result = head.data;
    		    	 head = head.next;
    		    	 size--;
    		    	 return result;
    		     }
    		     else if (index == size) {
    		    	 E result = tail.data;
    		    	 tail = tail.next;
    		    	 size--;
    		    	 return result;
    		     }
    		     for(int i = 0; i < index-1; i++) {
    		    	 temp = temp.next;
    		    	 Node<E> current = temp.next;
    		    	 temp.next = current.next;
    		    	 E result = current.data;
    		    	 current = null;
    		    	 size--; 
    		    	 return result;
    		     }
     
    		 }

    Why do you think what you've posted is incorrect?
