Program 1

import java.util.LinkedList;

public class LinkedListGetExample {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		LinkedList<Integer> oddNumbers = new LinkedList<>();
		oddNumbers.add(5);
		oddNumbers.add(7);
		oddNumbers.add(9);
		oddNumbers.add(11);

		System.out.println("Linked List elements: " + oddNumbers);
		System.out.println("Element at index 1 in this linked-list: " + oddNumbers.get(1));

		System.out.println("Element at index 3 in this linked-list: " + oddNumbers.get(3));

	}
}

Output

Linked List elements: [5, 7, 9, 11]
Element at index 1 in this linked-list: 7
Element at index 3 in this linked-list: 11

Program 2

import java.util.LinkedList;

public class LinkedListGetExample {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		LinkedList<Integer> oddNumbers = new LinkedList<>();
		oddNumbers.add(5);
		oddNumbers.add(7);
		oddNumbers.add(9);
		oddNumbers.add(11);

		System.out.println("Linked List elements: " + oddNumbers);
		System.out.println("Element at index 7 in this linked-list: " + oddNumbers.get(7));

	}
}

Output

Linked List elements: [5, 7, 9, 11]
