when compiled the following program returns "Cannot find symbol method SetPrev(LinkedList.Node)" line 133 and Cannot symbol method getPrev()" line 186. Everything seems to be in place. Please Help.

Can you point us to the code that calling setPrev() would execute? I don't see such a method defined in your Node class.

Makes sense now. Got it fixed. Thanks for pointing it out. Sometimes while trying something new I look at all the lines of code and simply can't see what it needs.

The compiler messages are actually very helpful. If it says "I can't find a method" (as in this case), I always try to find the method myself. I cut-n-paste the EXACT method name it says it can't find. I turn on "match by case" since java is case sensitive, and then I search for the method. If I can't find it, the compiler probably can't either.

If I CAN find it, then I start digging deeper. Is the method signature correct/match? are the access modifiers correct? Did I include the correct CLASSPATH, etc.

Seems like makeEmpty could pretty much be "head = null", no?
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
