List out the disadvantages of using a linked list?..

Answer / Ravindra Nath Pandey

2. Extra space for pointers is required for each node which can lead to increased memory usage compared to arrays.
3. Insertion and deletion operations are slower due to the need to traverse through the list until the desired position is found.
