1) Short-Answer questions: p. 151 / 2
Solutions: Chapter4-questionsAnswers.pdf (see the last one)

2) Programming assignment: Let's think about doubly-linked lists. Define a class ListNode2, with three attributes: item, leftL, and rightL.
Left link points to the previous node in the list, right link points to the next node in the list.
You can also add the display method to this class (like we did it in class for the ListNode class).
Then test your class.
For example, create a linked list of 5 values: 34, 1, 23, 7, and 10. Display it. Then insert new value, say 8 between 34 and 1 (this time you will have to take care of links pointing to the previous and next node), display the resulting list. Then delete and element, update the links and display the new list.
