LinkedLists

Definition

LinkedLists are linear data structures where each element, called a node, contains a reference to the next node in the sequence. They provide efficient insertion and deletion operations but have slower access times compared to arrays.

Arrays:

Arrays are fixed-size collections of elements stored in contiguous memory locations. They provide fast access to individual elements but have limited flexibility for insertion and deletion operations.

Stacks: A stack is a data structure that follows the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle, where elements are added and removed from only one end.

Queues: A queue is a data structure that follows the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) principle, where elements are added at one end and removed from the other end.
