Real life example of linked list in data structure
Get FREE domain for 1st year and build your brand new site Show In this article, we have covered the applications of Linked List, Circular Linked List and Doubly Linked List. We start with the basics of Linked List and then, move to applications of the different types of Linked List. Linked listThe linked list is a linear data structure, that has a sequence of continuous nodes. A single node is just the object which contains things like, "data" and a "next" pointer which points to the next node in case of singly and circular linked list, and also "previous" pointer which will point to the previous node in case of a doubly linked list. In this way, it forms a chain-like structure. It can easily perform insertion, append, deletion operations without reorganization of the entire list because memory allocation is done during run-time but if we want the same operations on an array that needs to allocate fixed memory, its run time will get more expensive. So, this is the most important factor for using linked lists in case of memory and storage than arrays. So, we will be discussing the applications of all three types of Linked List as following:
Applications of Singly Linked List are as following:
Applications of Circular Linked List are as following:
Applications of Doubly Linked List are as following:
