  public static void main(String args[]){
	LinkedList<String> linkedList = new LinkedList<String>();
	linkedList.add("Jai");
	linkedList.add("Mahesh");
	linkedList.add("Naren");
	linkedList.add("Vivek");
	linkedList.add("Vishal");
	linkedList.add("Hemant");
	System.out.println("Actual LinkedList:"+linkedList);
	System.out.println("Last Element: "+linkedList.getLast());
        System.out.println("Last Element: "+linkedList.peekLast());
  }
}
