Linked List Data Structure with Javascript

问题

I'm trying to figure out the linked list data structure using Javascript. But there is a part that I'm not able to understand.

function LinkedList() {
  var Node = function(element) {
    this.element = element;
    this.next = null;
  }

  var length = 0;
  var head = null;

  this.append = function(element) {
    var node = new Node(element),
      current;

    if (head === null) {
      head = node;
    } else {
      current = head;

      //loop the list until find last item
      while (current.next) {
        current = current.next
      }

      //get last item and assign next to node to make the link
      current.next = node
    }
    length++;
  }

  this.removeAt = function(position) {
    //check for out of bounds values
    if (position > -1 && position < length) {
      var current = head,
        previous,
        index = 0;

      if (position === 0) {
        head = current.next;
      } else {
        while (index++ < position) {
          debugger;
          previous = current;
          current = current.next;
        }

        previous.next = current.next;
      }

      length--;

      return current.element;

    } else {
      return null;
    }
  }

  this.toString = function() {
    var current = head,
      string = '';

    while (current) {
      string = current.element;
      current = current.next;
    }

    return string;
  }
}

var list = new LinkedList();
list.append(15);
list.append(10);
list.append(11);
list.removeAt(1);

I don't understand how the variable current loses its reference to the node when you run the removeAt method.

If you want to create the link list you can use the below algorithm:-

var linkedList = function(){
  this.head=null;
  this.tail=null;
  this.size=0;
}
linkedList.prototype.add=function(obj){
 if(!this.head){
   this.head=obj;
   this.tail=obj;
   this.size++;
   return
 }
 this.tail.next = obj;
 this.tail=obj;
 this.size++;
}
