Types of Linked List

Linked List:

A linked list is a dynamic linear data structure that contains a collection of data elements that are called nodes, where the linearity is maintained by using a pointer.

Operations on Linked List:

1. Counting the total number of nodes.
2. Insertion of a new node in the list.
3. Deletion of an existing node from the list.
4. Searching a specified node in the list.
5. Display all nodes of the list.

Types of Linked List:

There are two types of linked lists depending on the number of links:

• Singly Linked List
• Doubly Linked List

Singly Linked List:

In Singly Linked List, each node has only one address field to contain the address of the next node in the list.

Doubly Linked List:

In Doubly Linked List, each node contains two pointer fields, one contains the address of the next node and the other link keeps track of the previous node in the list.
