Linked List Remove?

[Luke Gotto]

When i run this it removes all of the elemets of the list except the last one... Any ideas why it is not geting to the last node?

public E remove() // delete link with given key
{
E tmp;
tmp = null;
cursor = first;
previous = first;


if (cursor == null)
return null;
else
tmp = first.item;
previous = cursor;
first = cursor.next;
length = length -1;

return tmp;


}

Sorry, I really can't figure out how this is intended to work. I think it might help if you explained the steps in English. It's a good way to check your own logic, and it would give us a clear idea of what you're expecting to happen.

(Code Tags with clean indentation would also help.)
