so, everything works through the first iteration (don't know if this is an appropriate term for linked lists, but we just learned arrays) but then it stops. I thought that telling it to continue until position.next != null and increasing the position after every iteration would work but I think I have coded something incorrectly / am not taking something into consideration. I would be greatly obliged if you can offer any advice!
I had one more question I wanted to ask...
I am also writing a method called insertionSort (using insertion sort to sort a linked list). Anyway, I know in an array, you copy the item into a temporary space and then insert it into the sorted list in its appropriate place. I am wondering how I create such a space as with bubble sort my temp. space was merely incorporated as the next node.
Thanks,
Hunter
