Applications of Linked List
Here are some of the applications of a linked list:
- Linear data structures such as stack, queue, and non-linear data structures such as hash maps, and graphs can be implemented using linked lists.
- Dynamic memory allocation: We use a linked list of free blocks.
- Implementation of graphs: Adjacency list representation of graphs is the most popular in that it uses linked lists to store adjacent vertices.
- In web browsers and editors, doubly linked lists can be used to build a forwards and backward navigation button.
- A circular doubly linked list can also be used for implementing data structures like Fibonacci heaps.
Introduction to Linked List – Data Structure and Algorithm Tutorials
Linked List is basically chains of nodes where each node contains information such as data and a pointer to the next node in the chain. It is a popular data structure with a wide range of real-world applications. In this article, we will provide a complete introduction of Linked List, which will help you tackle any problem based on Linked List.
