Questions and Answers

What is a linked data structure?

A data structure consisting of arithmetic operations on pointers
A data structure consisting of data records linked together by references (correct)
A data structure consisting of special data types that cannot be dereferenced
A data structure consisting of data stored in adjacent memory locations

How are linked data structures contrasted with arrays?

Arrays are organized by references
Arrays consist of special data types that cannot be dereferenced
Arrays require performing arithmetic operations on pointers (correct)
Arrays are stored in non-adjacent memory locations

What is a linked list?

A collection of structures with no logical links between them
A collection of structures stored in adjacent memory locations
A collection of structures ordered by logical links stored as part of the data (correct)
A collection of structures ordered by their physical placement in memory

Match the following with their primary usage in linked data structures:

Links or pointers = Used to connect data records Dereferencing = Operation on special data types in linked data structures Comparison for equality = Operation on special data types in linked data structures Array index linking = One way of linking in linked data structures Signup and view all the answers

Match the following with their characteristics in linked data structures:

Linked data structures = Contrasted with arrays in terms of pointer operations Linked lists = Not necessarily stored in adjacent memory locations Array indices = Actually used as references in some linked data structures Data field and address field = Components of every structure in a linked list Signup and view all the answers
