RE: What is a linked list?
Linked list is a data structure which contains data elements and a pointer of the node type which points to the next node in the linked list. It is useful when you do not know in advance how many elements will be there so you cannot preallocate space (e.g. using an array).

RE: What is a linked list?

In a linked list is one of the fundamental data structures used in It consists of a sequence of nodes each containing arbitrary data fields and one or two ( links ) pointing to the next and/or previous nodes. A linked list is a self-referential datatype because it contains a pointer or link to another data of the same type. Linked lists permit insertion and removal of nodes at any point in the list in constant time but do not allow randam access. Several different types of linked list exist: singly-linked lists doubly-linked lists and circularly-linked lists.
