A linked list is a fundamental data structure in computer science that consists of a sequence of nodes, where each node contains data and a reference (or link) to the next node in the sequence. Unlike arrays, which store elements in contiguous memory locations, linked lists store elements in non-contiguous memory locations, with each node containing the data and the address of the next node.
The main components of a linked list are:
Node
A node is the basic building block of a linked list. It contains two parts:
Data: The actual information or value stored in the node.
Next: A reference (or pointer) to the next node in the linked list.
Head
The head is the first node in the linked list. It represents the starting point of the list.
Tail
The tail is the last node in the linked list. It represents the end of the list.
Linked lists can be classified into different types, such as:
