Questions and Answers

What is the advantage of using a 'first' pointer in a circular linked list?

  • It allows for faster deletion
  • It allows for easier access to both the first and last nodes (correct)
  • It allows for faster searching
  • It allows for easier insertion at the end

    • What is the main characteristic of a circular linked list?

  • Each node points to the previous node
  • The last node points to the first node (correct)
  • The first node points to the last node
  • Each node points to the next node

    • What is the purpose of a header node in a linked list?

  • It is used for sorting the list
  • It acts as the last node in the list
  • It acts as the first node in the list
  • It simplifies the insertion and deletion algorithms (correct)

    • In a circular linked list, how can you access the last node?
