# 1.0.0[−][src]Struct alloc::collections::linked_list::LinkedList

    pub struct LinkedList<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

A doubly-linked list with owned nodes.

The `LinkedList` allows pushing and popping elements at either end in constant time.

Almost always it is better to use `Vec` or `VecDeque` instead of `LinkedList`. In general, array-based containers are faster, more memory efficient and make better use of CPU cache.

## Methods

### `impl<T> LinkedList<T>`[src]

#### `pub fn new() -> Self`[src]

Creates an empty `LinkedList`.

# Examples

    use std::collections::LinkedList;

    let list: LinkedList<u32> = LinkedList::new();

#### `pub fn append(&mut self, other: &mut Self)`[src]

Moves all elements from `other` to the end of the list.

This reuses all the nodes from `other` and moves them into `self`. After this operation, `other` becomes empty.

This operation should compute in O(1) time and O(1) memory.

# Examples

    use std::collections::LinkedList;

    let mut list1 = LinkedList::new();
    list1.push_back('a');

    let mut list2 = LinkedList::new();
    list2.push_back('b');
    list2.push_back('c');

    list1.append(&mut list2);

    let mut iter = list1.iter();
    assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&'a'));
    assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&'b'));
    assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&'c'));
    assert!(iter.next().is_none());

    assert!(list2.is_empty());

ⓘImportant traits for DrainFilter<'a, T, F>

### Important traits for DrainFilter<'a, T, F>

`impl<'a, T, F> Iterator for DrainFilter<'a, T, F> where
F: FnMut(&mut T) -> bool, type Item = T;`
`pub fn drain_filter<F>(&mut self, filter: F) -> DrainFilter<T, F> where
F: FnMut(&mut T) -> bool,` [src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`drain_filter` #43244)

recently added

Creates an iterator which uses a closure to determine if an element should be removed.

If the closure returns true, then the element is removed and yielded. If the closure returns false, the element will remain in the list and will not be yielded by the iterator.

Note that `drain_filter` lets you mutate every element in the filter closure, regardless of whether you choose to keep or remove it.

# Examples

Splitting a list into evens and odds, reusing the original list:

    #![feature(drain_filter)]
    use std::collections::LinkedList;

    let mut numbers: LinkedList<u32> = LinkedList::new();
    numbers.extend(&[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15]);

    let evens = numbers.drain_filter(|x| *x % 2 == 0).collect::<LinkedList<_>>();
    let odds = numbers;

    assert_eq!(evens.into_iter().collect::<Vec<_>>(), vec![2, 4, 6, 8, 14]);
    assert_eq!(odds.into_iter().collect::<Vec<_>>(), vec![1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13, 15]);

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
