Linked lists are fundamental data structures in computer science, used to store collections of elements in a sequential manner. There are several types of linked lists, each with its unique characteristics and use cases. The primary types of linked lists include:
Singly Linked Lists: This is the simplest form of a linked list. Each node in a singly linked list contains data and a reference (or link) to the next node in the sequence. This structure allows for efficient sequential access and modification by traversing the list from the beginning to the end. However, it does not support efficient reverse traversal[1][2][3].
Doubly Linked Lists: Doubly linked lists extend singly linked lists by including a second reference in each node. This additional reference points to the previous node in the sequence, allowing for traversal in both forward and backward directions. This bidirectional traversal capability makes doubly linked lists suitable for applications that require frequent insertion and deletion of elements from both ends of the list[1][2][3].
Circular Linked Lists: A circular linked list is a variation of a singly linked list where the last node in the list points back to the first node, creating a circular structure. This allows for continuous traversal of the list from any point without r...
