5 Questions
What is a linked list?
A linked list is a linear collection of data elements whose order is not given by their physical placement in memory. Instead, each element points to the next.
How does a linked list represent a sequence?
A linked list consists of nodes which together represent a sequence. Each node contains data and a reference to the next node in the sequence.
What advantage does a linked list offer for insertion and removal of elements?
A linked list allows for efficient insertion or removal of elements from any position in the sequence during iteration.
What is a drawback of linked lists?
A drawback of linked lists is that data access time is a linear function of the number of nodes for each linked list. Access time linearly increases as nodes are added to a linked list.
What is random access?
Random access refers to the ability to directly access any element in a data structure, without having to traverse through the preceding elements.
