Linked List Explained

A linked list is a linear collection of data elements, called nodes, each pointing to the next node in the sequence, creating a chain.

Algorithm Characteristics

  • Time Complexity (Insertion)O(1)
  • Time Complexity (Deletion)O(n)
  • Space ComplexityO(n)
  • Dynamic SizeYes
  • Non-ContiguousYes

Key Properties

  • Nodes contain a value and a pointer to the next node.

  • Dynamic size allows for flexible memory usage.

  • Insertion and deletion are efficient (O(1) if node is known).

  • Sequential access only; random access not supported.

Linked Lists are used when the number of elements is unknown or changes frequently
