Thread: Remove at index method for singly linked list... what's wrong?

Hi,

I'm trying to create a public E remove(int index) method. What am I doing wrong here?

		 /** removes the element at the specified position in this list.
		  *  Shifts any subsequent elements to the left (subtracts one
		  *  from their indices.
		  *  @return the element that was removed from the list
		  *  @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException
		  */
		 public E remove(int index) {
			 Node<E> temp = head;
		     if (index < 0 || index >= size) {
		         throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException(Integer.toString(index));
		     }
		     if (index == 0) {
		    	 E result = head.data;
		    	 head = head.next;
		    	 size--;
		    	 return result;
		     }
		     else if (index == size) {
		    	 E result = tail.data;
		    	 tail = tail.next;
		    	 size--;
		    	 return result;
		     }
		     for(int i = 0; i < index-1; i++) {
		    	 temp = temp.next;
		    	 Node<E> current = temp.next;
		    	 temp.next = current.next;
		    	 E result = current.data;
		    	 current = null;
		    	 size--; 
		    	 return result;
		     }
 
		 }

Why do you think what you've posted is incorrect?
