Java.. SingleLinkedList problem..
So i have a project for class, creating a SingleLinkedList class with different methods for adding and removing in different types of ways.. I have stumbled upon a problem with on of my methods, for removing all occurences of a given value. It works for every case i have tested, but i have run in to a problem when i have two identical numbers in the end of the list, eg: 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 4, 4 and it tell the program to revomve all occurences of 4. It do not remove the last occurence of 4, so list ends up:  5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 4.. I dont know if i need to post the entire code, but i will post my method for removeElementAll() in hope that somebody can help me, and if u need more code to help, just say and i will post it..

private Node head;

public SingleLinkedList()

{

head = null;

}

public void removeElementAll(int element) throws NoSuchElementException {

       if (isEmpty()) {
           throw new NoSuchElementException();
       }
       Node ptr = head;
       Node previous = null;

       while (ptr != null) {
           if (ptr.element == element) {
               if (ptr == head) {
                   head = head.next;
               } else {
                   previous.next = ptr.next;
               }
           }
           previous = ptr;
           ptr = ptr.next;
       }
   }
