Java Tree toString for LinkedBinaryTree, decision tree

im working on java tree and getting stuck on setting toString for LinkedBinaryTree and mapping yes/no to left/right child.

Error
Type mismatch: cannot convert from Deque.ListIterator to Iterator
Can anyone help with the error? and fix it if you have a better idea

An Iterable<T> is not an Iterator<T>, but it has a method to get an Iterator<T>. Just change
public Iterator<Item> iterator()
{
return new ListIterator();
}
to
public Iterator<Item> iterator()
{
return new ListIterator().iterator();
}
beyond that, I would suggest you use an ArrayDeque (or even LinkedList) when you need a Deque. Your implementation does not appear to improve on either and worse your class name shadows the java.util.Deque interface (which you don't implement). Finally, a Deque should be a Collection (not just Iterable).

Iterators and throwing exception

I am trying to make a double ended deque but I keep running into errors I frankly have no idea how to solve. The first one is regarding deque. In my iterator function, I keep getting the following error and I have no idea why:
Deque.java:105: error: incompatible types: Deque.DequeIterator cannot be converted to Iterator<Item>
return new DequeIterator();
Additionally, I have been trying to throw exceptions but haven't been able to for some reason. I keep getting errors such as the following:
Deque.java:72: error: cannot find symbol
throw java.util.NoSuchElementException();
^
symbol: class util
location: package java
Here is my code:
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.NoSuchElementException;
public class Deque<Item> implements Iterable<Item>{
private int size;
private Node<Item> first;
private Node<Item> last;
private class Node<Item>{
Item item;
Node<Item> next;
Node<Item> prev;
Node(Item item) {
this.item = item;
next = null;
prev = null;
}
}
// construct an empty deque
public Deque(){
first = null;
last = null;
size = 0;
}
public boolean isEmpty(){return size == 0;} // is the deque empty?
public int size(){return size;} // return the number of items on the deque
// add the item to the front
public void addFirst(Item item){
if (item == null){
throw new java.lang.NullPointerException();
}
else if (this.isEmpty()){
first = new Node(item);
first = last;
}
else{
Node oldfirst = first;
Node first = new Node(item);
first.next = oldfirst;
oldfirst.prev = first;
}
size ++;
}
// add the item to the end
public void addLast(Item item){
if (item == null){
throw new java.lang.NullPointerException();
}
else if (this.isEmpty()){
Node last = new Node(item);
last = first;
}
else{
Node oldlast = last;
Node last = new Node(item);
oldlast.next = last;
last.prev = oldlast;
}
size ++;
}
// remove and return the item from the front
public Item removeFirst(){
if (this.isEmpty()){
throw java.util.NoSuchElementException();
}
else{
Item item = first.item;
first = first.next;
first.prev = null;
if (size == 1){
first = last;
}
size --;
return item;
}
}
// remove and return the item from the end
public Item removeLast(){
if (this.isEmpty()){
throw java.util.NoSuchElementException();
}
else{
Item item = last.item;
last = last.prev;
if (size == 1){
last = first;
}
size --;
return item;
}
}
// return an iterator over items in order from front to end
public Iterator<Item> iterator() {
return new DequeIterator();
}
private class DequeIterator<Item> implements Iterable<Item>{
private Node current;
public DequeIterator() { this.current = first;}
public boolean hasNext(){ return current != null;};
public void remove() {throw new UnsupportedOperationException();}
public Item next(){
if (!hasNext()) throw new NoSuchElementException();
Item item = current.item;
current = current.next;
return item;
}
}
// unit testing (optional)
public static void main(String[] args){
Deque<String> deque = new Deque<String>();
deque.addFirst("1");
//StdOut.println("addfirst to string: " + deque.AXCToString());
deque.addFirst("2");
//StdOut.println("addfirst to string: " + deque.AXCToString());
deque.addFirst("3");
//StdOut.println("addfirst to string: " + deque.AXCToString());
deque.addFirst("4");
//StdOut.println("addfirst to string: " + deque.AXCToString());
deque.addFirst("5");
}
}

Your first issue is that your DequeIterator class implements Iterable, when it should implement Iterator. Iterable is usually used for things like collections, which can then provide an Iterator instance. It looks like you've already implemented the methods for Iterator, so this should just be a matter of changing the line to be:
private class DequeIterator<Item> implements Iterator<Item> {
For your second issue, you're missing the new keyword to construct the exception. It should be as follows:
throw new java.util.NoSuchElementException();
Additionally, it's standard practice in Java to use imports rather than using absolute paths, and it looks like you've already imported it, so you can shorten it to just this:
throw new NoSuchElementException();

Java Doubly Linked List Clone Method

I'm working on coding some data structures on my own time. I've noticed that the clone method is not copying the list as I expect. I'll post my results underneath the code as the main method is near the bottom of the class. Here is the class I have written so far:
public class DoublyLinkedList<E> implements Cloneable {
//------------nested Node class------------
private static class Node<E> {
private E element; // reference to stored element
private Node<E> prev; // reference to previous element
private Node<E> next; // reference to next element
/** The constructor that creates a node */
public Node(E e, Node<E> p, Node<E> n) {
element = e;
prev = p;
next = n;
}
// methods
/** getter for the element */
public E getElement() {
return element;
}
/** getter for previous node in list */
public Node<E> getPrev() {
return prev;
}
/** getter for next node in list */
public Node<E> getNext() {
return next;
}
/** setter for previous node */
public void setPrev(Node<E> p) {
prev = p;
}
/** setter for the next node */
public void setNext(Node<E> n) {
next = n;
}
} //------------end of nested node class------------
// instance variables of DoublyLinkedList
private Node<E> header; // head sentinel
private Node<E> trailer; // tail sentinel
private int size = 0; // number of elements in list
/** List constructor */
public DoublyLinkedList() {
header = new Node<E>(null, null, null); // create header
trailer = new Node<E>(null, header, null); // header precedes trailer
header.setNext(trailer); // trailer follows header
}
// access methods
/** Returns the size of the doubly linked list */
public int getSize() {
return size;
}
/** Tests whether the linked list is empty */
public boolean isEmpty() {
return size == 0;
}
/** Returns but does not remove the first element in the list */
public E first() {
if (isEmpty()) {
return null;
} else {
return header.getNext().getElement(); // return first node's element
}
}
/** Returns but does not remove the last element in the list */
public E last() {
if (isEmpty()) {
return null;
} else {
return trailer.getPrev().getElement(); // return last node's element
}
}
//update methods
/** Adds element e to the front of the list */
public void addFirst(E e) {
addBetween(e, header, header.getNext());
}
/** Adds element e to the back of the list */
public void addLast(E e) {
addBetween(e, trailer.getPrev(), trailer);
}
/** Removes and returns the first element of the list */
public E removeFirst() {
if (isEmpty()) {
return null;
} else {
return remove(header.getNext());
}
}
/** Removes and returns the last element of the list */
public E removeLast() {
if (isEmpty()) {
return null;
} else {
return remove(trailer.getPrev());
}
}
// private update helpers
/** Does the heavy lifting for adding an element to the list */
private void addBetween(E e, Node<E> predecessor, Node<E> successor) {
// create and link a new node
Node<E> newest = new Node<>(e, predecessor, successor);
predecessor.setNext(newest);
successor.setPrev(newest);
size++;
}
/** Does the heavy lifting for removing an element from the list */
private E remove(Node<E> node) {
Node<E> predecessor = node.getPrev();
Node<E> successor = node.getNext();
predecessor.setNext(successor);
successor.setPrev(predecessor);
size--;
return node.getElement();
}
// equals and clone methods
/** Equals method currently assumes that the list must be of the same
* type in order to be equal. This means that a doubly linked list will

#SuppressWarnings({ "rawtypes" })
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (o == null) {
return false;
}
// at this point, the classes have to be the same.
if (getClass() != o.getClass()) {
return false;
}
DoublyLinkedList other = (DoublyLinkedList) o; // use non-parameterized type (erasure)
// the size must be the same for them to be equal
if (size != other.size) {
return false;
}
Node walkA = header; // traverse primary list
Node walkB = other.header; // traverse secondary list
// We don't want to compare the trailers, so size - 1
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
if (!walkA.getElement().equals(walkB.getElement())) {
return false; // mismatch
}
walkA = walkA.getNext();
walkB = walkB.getNext();
}
return true; // if we reach this, then they are equal.
}
/** The clone method that performs a deep clone of the list */
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public DoublyLinkedList<E> clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
// always use inherited Object.clone() to create initial copy

other.header = new Node<>(null, null, null);
other.trailer = new Node<>(null, other.header, null);

public static void main(String args[]) {
DoublyLinkedList theList = new DoublyLinkedList();
DoublyLinkedList clonedList;

try {

System.out.println("Original List values");

}
}
} //------------ end of doubly linked list class ------------
The main method in this class is just for testing. It should be pretty straightforward. However, whenever I run this code, I get the following result:
Original List values
2
1
3
Cloned List values
2
2
2
true
I'm not sure why the Cloned List values are not the same as those in the original list. I tried changing the 2 in the code to a 4 to see if I would get three 4s out of my cloned list, and indeed I did. Perhaps the list is not walking and grabs the element at the front of the list n times.
Do any of you see my mistake?

What about using the already existing API to create a correct DoubleLinkedList?
public DoublyLinkedList<E> clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
// always use inherited Object.clone() to create initial copy
DoublyLinkedList<E> other = new DoublyLinkedList<>();
if (size > 0) {
Node<E> walk = header.getNext();
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
other.addLast(walk.getElement());
walk = walk.getNext();
}
}
return other;
}
That way you don't have to worry about your entire list logic in multiple places.
Alternatively keeping your current approach you can do the following
public DoublyLinkedList<E> clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
// always use inherited Object.clone() to create initial copy
DoublyLinkedList<E> other = (DoublyLinkedList<E>) super.clone();
if (size > 0) {
other.header = new Node<>(null, null, null);
other.trailer = new Node<>(null, other.header, null);
other.header.setNext(other.trailer);
Node<E> walk = header.getNext();
Node<E> otherWalk = other.header;
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
Node<E> newest = new Node<>(walk.getElement(), otherWalk, otherWalk.getNext());
otherWalk.getNext().setPrev(newest);
otherWalk.setNext(newest);
otherWalk = otherWalk.getNext();
walk = walk.getNext();
}
}
return other;
}

toString() for DoublyLinkedList

It's just not working ):
Here's my toString() method.
public String toString() {
String s= "[";
DoublyLinkedList<E>.ListNode next= new ListNode(null,null,null);
next= head.successor();
while(next!=tail){
s+= next.getValue()+ ", ";
next=next.successor();
}
s +="]";
// Write this method body and remove this comment
return s;
}
it tells me there's a null pointer error at "next= head.successor()"
Here's the class ListNode:
/** An instance is a node of this list. */
public class ListNode {
/** Predecessor of this node on the list (null if the list is empty). */
private ListNode pred;
/** The value of this node. */
private E value;
/** Successor of this node on the list. (null if the list is empty). */
private ListNode succ;
/** Constructor: an instance with predecessor p (p can be null),
* successor s (s can be null), and value v. */
private ListNode(ListNode p, ListNode s, E v) {
pred= p;
succ= s;
value= v;
}
/** Return the value of this node. */
public E getValue() {
return value;
}
/** Return the predecessor of this node in the list (null if this node
* is the first node of this list). */
public ListNode predecessor() {
return pred;
}
/** Return the successor of this node in the list (null if this node
* is the last node of this list). */
public ListNode successor() {
return succ;
}
And DoublyLinkedList...
/** An instance is a doubly linked list. */
public class DoublyLinkedList<E> {
private ListNode head; // first node of linked list (null if none)
private ListNode tail; // last node of linked list (null if none)
private int size; // Number of values in linked list.
/** Constructor: an empty linked list. */
public DoublyLinkedList() {
}
/** Return the number of values in this list. */
public int size() {
return size;
}
/** Return the first node of the list (null if the list is empty). */
public ListNode getHead() {
return head;
}
/** Return the last node of the list (null if the list is empty). */
public ListNode getTail() {
return tail;
}
/** Return the value of node e of this list.
* Precondition: e must be a node of this list; it may not be null. */
public E valueOf(ListNode e) {
return e.value;
}

You should implement Iterable for your list.
public class DoublyLinkedList<E> implements Iterable<E> {
...
public Iterator<E> iterator() {
// TODO: return a new iterator here.
}
}
Then implement an Iterator<E> for your list as an inner class. See Java source code for examples:
java.util.AbstractList
java.util.LinkedList ListItr
It is a well-established pattern for iterating through lists. Then, you don't have to worry about getting your while loop right, instead, you can just use standard for each loops:
for (E item: this) {
}
