What’s wrong with it? All the fields are public Calling each link an IntList does not seem entirely correct... Review: SLList Access modifiers changed to private Outside users cannot access fields directly public class SLList { Hides the internals using encapsulation private class IntNode { Hide the inner workings of the list from the private int item; user, store info about the list (ex. size) private IntNode next; private IntNode(int i, IntNode - n) User sees the list as a whole, not the { individual nodes of the list, and does not item = i; have to deal with logic of pointer next = n; manipulation } Analogy: You refer to a train as a whole, not as } individual cars. Instead of dealing with the raw private IntNode first; public SLList(int x) { links with first and next, you refer to it as a first = new IntNode(x, null); whole. } public int get(int position) { ... } Review: SLList Diagram We add a size variable so we don’t have to step through t
