What characterizes a linked list compared to other data structures?
What characterizes a linked list compared to other data structures?
- It requires contiguous memory allocation for efficient usage.
- Nodes are arranged in a strictly physical sequence.
- It consists of a collection of nodes linked logically. (correct)
- Memory for all nodes is allocated statically.
In terms of memory allocation, how does a linked list operate?
In terms of memory allocation, how does a linked list operate?
- Memory is allocated only for the first node.
- Memory for each node is allocated prior to the list's usage.
- Memory is allocated for all nodes at once during initialization.
- Memory is allocated for each node at run time. (correct)

Study Notes
Linked Lists
- A linked list is a linear data structure that stores a sequence of nodes.
- These nodes are connected in a logical order, but their physical location in memory can be non-sequential.
- Linked lists are dynamic data structures. This means that memory is allocated for each node during runtime, allowing the list to grow or shrink as needed.
