By knowing the first data cell of the array, it helps us identify the sequence and location of the elements we require. But to have this access, one needs to know the size of the array. An array comes with its drawbacks. The size of the array is limited, therefore it could be either a waste of memory (in case of fewer elements) and lack thereof in case of more elements. To combat this, the Linked list data structure is used. 🔹 Introduction to Linked List Data Structure A linked list is a linear data structure, in which the elements are not stored at contiguous memory locations. A linked list, although consumes more time than an array, is easier to store data without the drawbacks of the array. In a linked list, each slot is reserved only for one element of data called a node. They needn’t be arranged in a sequence. To preserve the order, every node holds a link to the data and a reference to the next cell of the sequence. Therefore knowing the location of the head cell becomes imperative.
