public class LinkedListContainsExample {

        public static void main(String[] args) {

                LinkedList oddNumbers = new LinkedList();
                oddNumbers.add(5);
                oddNumbers.add(7);
                oddNumbers.add(9);
                oddNumbers.add(11);

                System.out.println("Linked List elements: " + oddNumbers);
                System.out.println("Does this linked-list contains 7: " + oddNumbers.contains(7));

                System.out.println("Does this linked-list contains 4: " + oddNumbers.contains(4));
        }
}

Output

Linked List elements: [5, 7, 9, 11]
Does this linked-list contains 7: true
Does this linked-list contains 4: false
