Questions and Answers

What is a linked list in its simplest form?

  • A data structure with fixed memory allocation
  • An array of elements connected in a linear manner
  • A set of data elements stored contiguously
  • A collection of nodes forming a linear ordering (correct)

What does each node in a linked list store?

  • Only a pointer to the next node
  • Data or information of the element, and a pointer to the next node (correct)
  • Data, pointer to the next node, and a reference to the previous node
  • Only the data or information of the element

What is the key advantage of a linked list in terms of memory?

  • It has fixed memory allocation for each node
  • It stores data contiguously for faster access
  • It allows random access to elements
  • It does not waste memory space (correct)

Study Notes

Linked List Basics

  • A linked list is a dynamic collection of nodes, where each node contains data and a reference to the next node.
  • Each node in a linked list typically stores two items: data (the actual information or value) and a reference (a pointer) to the next node.

Memory Advantage

  • The key advantage of a linked list is that it can efficiently use memory, as nodes can be dynamically allocated and deallocated as needed.

Data Storage

  • Linked lists can store various types of data, including integers, strings, objects, and even other linked lists.

'Next' Reference

  • The purpose of the 'next' reference in each node is to point to the next node in the sequence, allowing for efficient traversal and manipulation of the linked list.
