What is a linked list in computer science?
What is a linked list in computer science?
- A random arrangement of data elements in memory
- A collection of nodes with no connections
- A linear collection of data elements where each element points to the next (correct)
- A data structure where each element contains data and a reference to a previous node
What allows for efficient insertion or removal of elements from any position in a linked list during iteration?
What allows for efficient insertion or removal of elements from any position in a linked list during iteration?
- The structure of the linked list with nodes pointing to the next (correct)
- The physical placement of elements in memory
- The random arrangement of data elements
- Additional links in the linked list
What is a drawback of linked lists in terms of data access time?
What is a drawback of linked lists in terms of data access time?
- Data access time is a linear function of the number of nodes (correct)
- Data access time decreases as the number of nodes increases
- Data access time is constant regardless of the number of nodes
- Data access time is logarithmic in relation to the number of nodes
