Answer / gurpreet kaur
In arrays memory requirement is less as a refrence is not
required whereas memory for the data as well as for the
pointer is required and hence the overhead.
Arrays allow random access, any element can be accessed
using the subscript whereas linked lists allow sequential
access, accessing of any element requires processing of the
list from the beginning upto the element.

Answer / shruthi
1. Arrays have continguous memory allocation which makes it
easy to access elements inbetween.
2. As memory is allocated during compilation makes the
program faster
3. Fixed in size so if we are aware of the exact size of
datas then there can be no memory wastage which is also an
advantage linked list has.
4. Insertion and deletion at the end of the array is easy
but not inbetween.
5. Accessing data is easy a[2] etc

is not possible to access the middle element of linklist
directly

Answer / atul kumar gupta
1-:array is working the concept of sequential.but linked
list is not provid the go directaly access the any alement.
2-:linked list are very complicated comparing the array
becouse the consist the two part which frst part is contain
the item and second is contain address of next node,so that
these are complicated compare then array.

Answer / nisha
Addresing is possible in case of arrays where as in linked list sequential address is possible

Answer / p.madhupriya
arrays are static in nature, therefore all operations
like memory allocation occur at the time of compilation
only. So processor has to put less effort at its runtime .
linkedlist uses dynamic memory allocation

difference between abstraction and encapsulation with progarammatic eg. hi,just recently i went for an interview .The interviewer asked what is the difference between abstraction and encapsulation with programmatic eg. I gave the answer as encapsulation mean hiding the relevant data which is not useful for the user, eg a electric fan .hiding the information how the electricity is converted into machanical energy. abtraction showing only the relevant data to the user eg electric fan. it look ,its color ,it design etc only relevant data. Then the interviewer asked me, give me some programmic eg .I Said Let assume a web form having control like textbox,button etc. The user can view textbox,button etc this is the eg of abstraction and when the user click on the button how he is redirected is not known by the user is the eg of the encapsulation. Am I Correct .was the answer given by me is perfect .now i am planing to go for an another interview should i give the same answer.IF not please suggest me a better answer.with some good eg Please help
