For this question, you will be given a sorted Linked List and a data value. Write a method that will return the node before that data value.
For example if you are given the linked list: 3 --> 5 -->8 --> 9 --> 10 and the number 9, return the node containing 8.
If the value passed in as a parameter is not in the linked chain, the code should throw an IndexOutOfBounds error.
For example if you are given the linked list: 3 --> 5 -->8 --> 9 --> 10 and the number 100, throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException. Note, calling the method with an empty linked chain would also throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException by this logic. NOTE: For this code to work you'll need to create an IndexOutOfBoundsException that takes in a string (IndexOutOfBoundsException("error message")
If the value passed in as a parameter is the first item in the linked chain, return null.
For example if you are given the linked list: 3 --> 5 -->8 --> 9 --> 10 and the number 3, return null.
