Study Notes

  • The video is the first in a series on data structures, focusing on linked lists
  • It covers traversing, adding items, and removing items from linked lists
  • Emphasizes the importance of checking if a data structure is full or empty before adding or removing items
  • Discusses implementing linked lists using arrays or an object-oriented approach
  • Explains the process of adding an item to a linked list, including special cases like when the list is empty or the new node needs to be placed in a specific position
  • Details the process of removing an item from a linked list, handling cases where the item to be deleted is the first node or located somewhere inside the list
  • Demonstrates how to traverse through a linked list, starting from the start pointer and following pointers from node to node until reaching the end of the list
  • Mentions a book called "Essential Algorithms for A-Level Computer Science" available on Amazon, covering data structures, algorithms, and providing coded algorithms in Python and VB for practice

Learn about linked lists, including traversal, insertion, and deletion operations. Understand the importance of checking whether a linked list is full or empty before making changes. Explore implementation using arrays or an object-oriented approach, and handle special cases when adding or removing items from a linked list.
