Introduction to Linked List

When learning programming languages, beginners usually learn arrays as the first data structure.

Array

To access array elements, use the arr[index] syntax.

Linked List

A linked list consists of nodes, where each node contains data and a pointer (or pointers) to the next node (or nodes in the case of a doubly linked list).

The array elements are stored in memory sequentially.

Linked list nodes can be in different locations in memory, which makes for more efficient memory usage, but can also result in more memory consumption due to pointer storage.

In the following chapters you will step by step implement a linked list with the necessary functionality.
