What is Difference between linked list or array..?

Question

please reply

Answer 1

simple words .....
array..
suppose
a 20 datatype holding space....make its place sideby side in your memory in device...
not randomly..

if u need 20 places 20 x dataspace have to be used and that total place will be initialised at once...

linked list..
is u need 20 datatype space not initialised at once...
but initialised only when the code needs it according to ur instruction...
they do not consume a leap of memory at once...they can stay in ur device memory randomly...
created dynamically...

example-------->>>>>>>>>>>

5 houses side by side from ur house is an array...

5 houses of your friends named f1,f2,f3,f4,f5...in different places

but u know the address of f1
f1 knows the address of f2
f2 knows the address of f3
.................................................................
f4 knows the address of f5

this is a linked list

Answer 2

if it is a circular linked list...

then f5 knows the address of u as well

Answer 3

THE THING IS.....

the 5 houses side by side dor those u dont need to know the address are actually useless to you..
u have "no work- no need" relation with them

but the 5 houses of ur friends are far away..
but u people know all address one by one and u people have "team work-high need" relation

this is a informal difference...
