Study Notes

Introduction to Linked Lists and Basic Operations

Linked lists are collections of nodes connected through links, with each node containing data and a pointer to the next node in the list.
Unlike arrays, linked lists have no defined size limit, allowing for flexible storage and deletion of data.
There are three types of linked lists: singly linked lists, doubly linked lists, and circular linked lists.
Singly linked lists have one link between nodes, enabling traversal in one direction only, while doubly linked lists have two links allowing for traversal in both directions.
Circular linked lists can be either singly or doubly linked and have a last node that connects back to the first node.
Basic operations in linked lists include insertion, deletion, searching, display, and deleting an element at a given key.
Insertion involves creating a new node and linking it to the appropriate location in the list, which can be done at the beginning, end, or any position within the list.
Deletion involves locating the target node and removing its link, then deallocating or keeping the node in memory.
Reverse operation involves making the last node point to the head node and reversing the entire list.
Search operation involves comparing each element in the list with a given key element to find a match.
Traversal operation involves walking through all the elements of the list in order and displaying them.
Linked lists can be implemented in various programming languages, such as C, C++, Java, and Python.
