Why did my whole list vanish?

Short answer. You moved start before linking the new node, so the rest of the list was lost.

How do you delete the first node?

start = start.next.

Remember

Link the new node first
Then move start
Delete: skip the node

One wrong order, and the whole list is lost! To insert, link n to start first. Then move start to n. To delete, move start to the next node. Remember. Link the new node first. Then move start. To delete, skip the node.

This clip is from the full lesson: Linked Lists — 6 minutes, with the tables, the quick answers and the whole lesson in text.

Useful for: ISC Class 12 Computer Science (868), Programming All levels Java
