This blog contains an important linked list topic \u201cdescendingiterator in java\u201d. descendingiterator in java will make your command stronger on Java and data structures like linked list. Let\u2019s discuss what is descendingiterator in java for linked list.<\/p>\n

The descendingIterator()<\/strong> method returns an iterator over the elements of the LinkedList in reverse order. That means the elements will be returned in order from the last element to the first element, i.e. tail to head.<\/p>\n

We know that in Java, LinkedList is implemented as Doubly LinkedList, so we can start from the tail pointer<\/a> and iterate the list reversely. For the purpose of traversal, we use an iterator and, descendingiterator in java<\/strong> helps us in traversing the list from tail pointer to head pointer.<\/p>\n
