one primary difference between linked list and array is ...array can be used for basic entity purpose to compute on single attribute values merely..Example: sorting of elements (integers) ....where as linked list can be implemented for multiple attribute nodes. Example: k-ary tree...its very difficult to implement using array and hence it would be better to implement with linked lists
