C# | Removing first occurrence of specified value from LinkedList<T>

Last Updated : 20 Jun, 2022

Remove(T) method is used to remove the first occurrence of the specified value from the LinkedList<T>. Syntax:

public bool Remove (T value);

Here, value is the value to remove from the LinkedList<T>. Return Value: This method returns True if the element containing value is successfully removed, otherwise, False. This method also returns False if value was not found in the original LinkedList<T>. Below given are some examples to understand the implementation in a better way: Example 1:

CSHARP

// C# code to remove the first 
// occurrence of the specified 
// value from LinkedList 
using System; 
using System.Collections; 
using System.Collections.Generic; 

class GFG { 

    // Driver code 
    public static void Main() 
    { 
        // Creating a LinkedList of Integers 
        LinkedList<int> myList = new LinkedList<int>(); 

        // Adding nodes in LinkedList 
        myList.AddLast(2); 
        myList.AddLast(4); 
        myList.AddLast(6); 
        myList.AddLast(6); 
        myList.AddLast(6); 
        myList.AddLast(8); 

        // To get the count of nodes in LinkedList 
        // before removing all the nodes 
        Console.WriteLine("Total nodes in myList are : " + myList.Count); 

        // Displaying the nodes in LinkedList 
        foreach(int i in myList) 
        { 
            Console.WriteLine(i); 
        } 

        // Removing the first occurrence of 
        // the specified value from LinkedList 
        myList.Remove(6); 

        // To get the count of nodes in LinkedList 
        // after removing all the nodes 
        Console.WriteLine("Total nodes in myList are : " + myList.Count); 

        // Displaying the nodes in LinkedList 
        foreach(int i in myList) 
        { 
            Console.WriteLine(i); 
        } 
    } 
}

Output:

Total nodes in myList are : 6
2
4
6
6
6
8
Total nodes in myList are : 5
2
4
6
6
8

Example 2:

CSHARP

// C# code to remove the first 
// occurrence of the specified 
// value from LinkedList 
using System; 
using System.Collections; 
using System.Collections.Generic; 

class GFG { 

    // Driver code 
    public static void Main() 
    { 
        // Creating a LinkedList of Strings 
        LinkedList<String> myList = new LinkedList<String>(); 

        // Adding nodes in LinkedList 
        myList.AddLast("A"); 
        myList.AddLast("B"); 
        myList.AddLast("C"); 
        myList.AddLast("D"); 
        myList.AddLast("E"); 

        // To get the count of nodes in LinkedList 
        // before removing all the nodes 
        Console.WriteLine("Total nodes in myList are : " + myList.Count); 

        // Displaying the nodes in LinkedList 
        foreach(string str in myList) 
        { 
            Console.WriteLine(str); 
        } 

        // Removing the first occurrence of 
        // the specified value from LinkedList 
        // As "H" is not in LinkedList, so 
        // there will be no change in the LinkedList 
        myList.Remove("H"); 

        // To get the count of nodes in LinkedList 
        // after removing all the nodes 
        Console.WriteLine("Total nodes in myList are : " + myList.Count); 

        // Displaying the nodes in LinkedList 
        foreach(string str in myList) 
        { 
            Console.WriteLine(str); 
        } 
    } 
}

Output:

Total nodes in myList are : 5
A
B
C
D
E
Total nodes in myList are : 5
A
B
C
D
E

Note: This method performs a linear search. Therefore, this method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count. Reference:

Space complexity: O(n) where n is size of the linked list
