Question

I have an add method that inserts the latest string of text to the end of a list where I want it to insert as the first string of text. Any help is appreciated. Here is the method:

 public void add (Magazine mag)
  {

  MagazineNode node = new MagazineNode (mag);
  MagazineNode current;

  if (list == null)
     list = node;
  else
  {
     current = list;
     while (current.next != null)
        current = current.next;
     current.next = node;
  }
   }

Assuming I understand want you need, which might be off, I think you’re wanting the following method.

public void add_first (Magazine mag)
{
  MagazineNode node = new MagazineNode (mag);

  // make the new first node point to the current root
  node.next=list;

  // update the root to the new first node
  list=node;
}
