Stuck with Java method

Hello, I am currently working on a Java program and I have come across a bit of a problem. I am using an interface and two classes to make a list of objects. The program currently includes an interface List, a class ConsList which implements List and contains an object "first" and a ConsList "rest", as well as a class EndList implementing List which contains an object "last" and is used to terminate the list. An example of use would be:
List l = new ConsList(foo,new ConsList(foo2, new EndList(end)));

All classes implementing List need to have a shiftRight(object o) method, which puts "o" at the beginning of the list, and removes the last object from the list. I have been trying to write this for a while now, but as I am not exceptional at Java the proper method definition continues to elude me. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.

fuck off javafag

Not appreciated, >>2.

Java sucks

For the ConsList:
  rest.shiftRight(first);
  first = o;
For the EndList:
  last = o;

so your point is?...

lol you're rewriting Common Lisp in Java? How stupid are you? Languages are supposed to make your life easier, not translate some concepts from one language to another lol

One word, the forced indentation of code. Thread over.

Oh shuuut uuup.

no because this time I'm serious.

Dear OP, I was feeling generous and I wanted to piss off the 'DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK' faggots, so I installed jdk and did your homework for you. Note that I've used null to mark the end of the list instead of inventing a magic singleton class. The main method acts as a test case/usage example.

public class ConsList //implements List
{
    private Object car;
    private ConsList cdr;

    public ConsList(Object car, ConsList cdr) {
        this.car = car;
        this.cdr = cdr;
    }

    public ConsList(Object car) {
        this.car = car;
        this.cdr = null;
    }

    public Object head() {
        return car;
    }

    public ConsList tail() {
        return cdr;
    }

    public boolean isLast() {
        return cdr == null;
    }

    public ConsList init() {
        if(isLast()) {
            return null;
        } else {
            return new ConsList(car, cdr.init());
        }
    }

    public Object last() {
        if(isLast()) {
            return car;
        } else {
            return cdr.last();
        }
    }

    public ConsList shiftRight(Object o) {
        return new ConsList(o, init());
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ConsList foo = new ConsList("hello", new ConsList("world",
                    new ConsList("java", new ConsList("sucks"))));

        for(ConsList bar = foo.shiftRight("omg"); bar != null; bar = bar.tail()) {
            System.out.println((String)bar.head());
        }
    }
}

>>11
why would we be pissed about that?

>>12
Because /prog/ is unhelpful.

>>13
that doesn't answer why would they be *pissed*, numbnuts

>>14
Don't spoil this for me :(

>>15
too late

Public boolean ms int?
