There doesn't seem to be a LinkedList in the Kotlin std library - any obvious alternatives?

[spand]

Why isnt an ArrayList good enough ?

[marstran]

If you're on the JVM, then you can just use java.util.LinkedList.

[v79]

Because I want the links between previous and next items without referring to array positions.

[spand]

Kotlins List supports ListIterator also

[spand]

I am not sure how you get previous / next without using that

[robin]

Kotlin doesn't have any data structures in its stdlib, only convenience functions that use the default java data structures. So you'll be perfectly fine just using the standard java LinkedList.

Multiplatform though.

Having done some experiments, I'm pretty certain LinkedList isn't the right structure for my dataset either. Maybe a SortedSet... Or maybe I need to rethink the design!

[karelpeeters]

That often ends up being the case!
