linked list is a linear data structure and it consists of group of nodes in a sequence which is divided in two parts link part and info part...
Advantages:-
a)they are dynamic in nature and allocate memory when required
b)insertion and deletion operation can be easily done
c)stack and queue can be easily executed
d)linked list reduces the accessâ time
disadvantages:-
a)memory is wasted as pointer require extra memory
b)no element can be accessed randomly;node is to accessed sequentially
c) reverse traversing is difficult
applications:-
a)used to implement stack,queue,graphs etc
b)elements can be inserted at begining and end
c)in linked list we don't need to know size in advance
types of linked list:-
a)linear linked list
b)double linked list
c)circular linked list
