Name an advantage of linked list over array?..

Answer / satish kondapalli

computer memory is divided into blocks.each work use these
blocks in non-contigious manner.but array elements are
stored in continous memory allocation.this will adversely
affect unuse of the memory blocks.array searches for bigger
blocks it needed,so that many small nlocks of memory is
unused.the main advantage of linkedlist is it can use
non-continuous memory blocks,because of it has the relation
between the nodes,and this is main merit over array.
