Final answer:
To complete the implementation, you need to implement the remove function in Java. In the remove function, you will be given a Position object p and you need to remove the element at the position p from the list.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given code is a partial implementation of a positional list implemented with a doubly linked list. The code contains various functions such as getElement, getPrev, getNext, addElement, and setPrev. To complete the implementation, you need to implement the remove function in Java.
In the remove function, you will be given a Position object p. You need to remove the element at the position p from the list.
Here is a possible implementation of the remove function:
public E remove(Position<E> p) throws IllegalArgumentException {
if (!(p instanceof Node<E>)) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid Position object");
}
Node<E> node = (Node<E>) p;
E element = node.getElement();
Node<E> prevNode = node.getPrev();
Node<E> nextNode = node.getNext();
prevNode.setNext(nextNode);
nextNode.setPrev(prevNode);
node.setNext(null);
node.setPrev(null);
node.setElement(null);
size--;
return element;
}
