	/**
	* (Circular) Linked List ADT (Doubly Linked Pointer to Node Style) - 
	* By Kevin Jenkins (http://www.rakkar.org)
	* Initilize with the following command
	* LinkedList<TYPE>
	* OR
	* CircularLinkedList<Type>
	*
	* Has the following member functions
	* - size: returns number of elements in the linked list
	* - insert(item):  inserts @em item at the current position in 
	*   the LinkedList.
	* - add(item): inserts @em item after the current position in 
	*   the LinkedList.  Does not increment the position
	* - replace(item): replaces the element at the current position @em item.
	* - peek:  returns the element at the current position
	* - pop:  returns the element at the current position and deletes it
	* - del: deletes the current element. Does nothing for an empty list.
	* - clear:  empties the LinkedList and returns storage
	* - bool is_in(item): Does a linear search for @em item.  Does not set 
	*   the position to it, only returns true on item found, false otherwise
	* - bool find(item): Does a linear search for @em item and sets the current 
	*   position to point to it if and only if the item is found. Returns true 
	*   on item found, false otherwise
	* - sort: Sorts the elements of the list with a mergesort and sets the 
	*   current pointer to the first element
	* - concatenate(list L): This appends L to the current list
	* - ++(prefix): moves the pointer one element up in the list and returns the 
	*   appropriate copy of the element in the list
	* - --(prefix): moves the pointer one element back in the list and returns 
	*   the appropriate copy of the element in the list
	* - beginning - moves the pointer to the start of the list.  For circular 
	*   linked lists this is first 'position' created.  You should call this 
	*   after the sort function to read the first value.
	* - end - moves the pointer to the end of the list.  For circular linked 
	*   lists this is one less than the first 'position' created
	* The assignment and copy constructor operators are defined
	*
	* @note 
	* 1. LinkedList and CircularLinkedList are exactly the same except LinkedList 
	*    won't let you wrap around the root and lets you jump to two positions 
	*    relative to the root/
	* 2. Postfix ++ and -- can be used but simply call the prefix versions.
	*
	*
	* EXAMPLE:
	* @code
	* LinkedList<int> A;  // Creates a Linked List of integers called A
	* CircularLinkedList<int> B;  // Creates a Circular Linked List of 
	*          // integers called B
	*
	* A.insert(20);  // Adds 20 to A.  A: 20 - current is 20
	* A.insert(5);  // Adds 5 to A.  A: 5 20 - current is 5
	* A.insert(1);  // Adds 1 to A.  A: 1 5 20 - current is 1
	*
	* A.is_in(1); // returns true
	* A.is_in(200); // returns false
	* A.find(5);  // returns true and sets current to 5
	* A.peek();  // returns 5
	* A.find(1);  // returns true and sets current to 1
	*
	* (++A).peek();  // Returns 5
	* A.peek(); // Returns 5
	*
	* A.replace(10);  // Replaces 5 with 10.
	* A.peek();  // Returns 10
	*
	* A.beginning();  // Current points to the beginning of the list at 1
	*
	* (++A).peek();  // Returns 5
	* A.peek();  // Returns 10
	*
	* A.del();  // Deletes 10.  Current points to the next element, which is 20
	* A.peek();  // Returns 20
	* 
	* A.beginning();  // Current points to the beginning of the list at 1
	*
	* (++A).peek();  // Returns 5
	* A.peek();  // Returns 20
	*
	* A.clear();  // Deletes all nodes in A
	*
	* A.insert(5);  // A: 5 - current is 5
	* A.insert(6); // A: 6 5 - current is 6
	* A.insert(7); // A: 7 6 5 - current is 7
	*
	* A.clear();
	* B.clear();
	*
	* B.add(10);
	* B.add(20);
	* B.add(30);
	* B.add(5);
	* B.add(2);
	* B.add(25);
	* // Sorts the numbers in the list and sets the current pointer to the 
	* // first element
	* B.sort();  
	*
	* // Postfix ++ just calls the prefix version and has no functional 
	* // difference.
	* B.peek();  // Returns 2
	* B++;
	* B.peek();  // Returns 5
	* B++;
	* B.peek();  // Returns 10
	* B++;
	* B.peek();  // Returns 20
	* B++;
	* B.peek();  // Returns 25
	* B++;
	* B.peek();  // Returns 30
