Iterate or Loop Through Elements LinkedList in Java Example

        System.out.println("\n=== Iterate over a LinkedList using listIterator() ===");
        // ListIterator can be used to iterate over the LinkedList in both forward and backward directions
        // In this example, we start from the end of the list and traverse backwards
        ListIterator < String > listIterator = progLangs.listIterator(progLangs.size());
        while (listIterator.hasPrevious()) {
            String speciesName = listIterator.previous();
            System.out.println(speciesName);
        }

        System.out.println("\n=== Iterate over a LinkedList using simple for-each loop ===");
        for (String name: progLangs) {
            System.out.println(name);
