What are the advantages of linked list over an array?

Answer Posted / Dheeraj Pal Singh

Linked lists and arrays are both important data structures with their own unique benefits. Here are some advantages of linked lists compared to arrays:
1. Dynamic Size: Unlike arrays, linked lists can grow or shrink dynamically during runtime as elements are added or removed.
2. Memory Efficiency: Linked lists use memory more efficiently for large lists because they don't need to store empty elements when the list size changes.
3. No Contiguous Memory Needed: Linked lists do not require contiguous blocks of memory, which can be an advantage in some systems with fragmented memory.
4. Insertion and Deletion Operations: Linked lists allow for efficient insertion and deletion operations at arbitrary positions without affecting the rest of the list.
