Questions and Answers

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?

  • 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)
  • Which of the following statements is true regarding the elements of a linked list?

  • Their sequence is determined by direct memory addresses.
  • They must be stored in contiguous memory locations.
  • They must follow a specific order defined by a sorting algorithm.
  • They do not need to be in a physical sequence. (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.
