Questions and Answers

Which of the following statements is true about linked lists?

  • Linked lists allow for efficient insertion or removal of elements at any position. (correct)
  • Each element in a linked list points to the previous element.
  • Linked lists can only be traversed in a forward direction.
  • Linked lists store data elements in a random order in memory.
  • What is the main advantage of using linked lists?

  • Linked lists can store data elements in a contiguous block of memory.
  • Linked lists have a fixed size and cannot be resized.
  • Linked lists provide faster access to data compared to arrays. (correct)
  • Linked lists allow for random access to elements.
  • What is a drawback of using linked lists?

  • Linked lists have a higher memory overhead compared to arrays. (correct)
  • Linked lists can only store a limited number of elements.
  • Linked lists cannot be used to implement other data structures.
  • Linked lists have constant time complexity for data access.

    Linked Lists

    • One of the true statements about linked lists is that they can dynamically allocate and deallocate memory as elements are added or removed.

    Advantages of Linked Lists

    • The main advantage of using linked lists is that they can efficiently insert or delete elements at any position in the list, with a time complexity of O(1).

    Drawbacks of Linked Lists

    • A drawback of using linked lists is that they have a slower search time compared to arrays, with a time complexity of O(n), because each element must be traversed in sequence to find a specific element.
    • Another drawback is that they require more memory than arrays, because each element must store a pointer to the next element in the list.
