Chapter 8, Problem 16

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider the method insertInOrder, as given in Segment 8.11, that inserts an object into its correct position within a sorted portion of an array. If we were to use a similar algorithm to insert a node into a sorted chain of linked nodes, we would begin at the end of the chain. For example, to insert a node containing 6 into the chain shown in Figure 8-9, we first would compare 6 with the integer 10. Since 6 belongs before 10, we would then compare 6 with 8. Since 6 belongs before 8, we compare 6 with 5 and discover that 6 belongs between 5 and 8. Describe how you could use this algorithm to define a method insertInOrder for a sorted chain of linked nodes.
