Thread: please teach me how to do this Link List assignment

please teach me to do this assignment question no7,just question no 7 because i really dont understand *public*void*
swapMiddle() in Linked ListCapture.JPG

Swapping two elements of linked list requires changing the current pointers to the way they'd be if the items were swapped. In the original:

1 -> 2
2 -> 3
3 -> 4

Becomes

1 -> 3
3 -> 2
2 -> 4

Given two elements of a linked list, write a method to swap them by changing the pointers.

But what's that got to do with "*public*void*?" 'public' is the access modifier and 'void' is the return type. What don't you understand about those?

so we need create method in link list class?

can somebody help me fix this code as i want to swap the middle number
