Linked List Quiz

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.

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.

A linked list allows for efficient insertion or removal of elements from any position in the sequence during iteration.

<p>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.</p> Signup and view all the answers
