Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 20, Problem 5SA
Explanation of Solution
Store the elements of a list using linked allocation:
- The linked allocation stores each element using a pointer to the memory location of its successor.
- The linked allocation is used for linked list.
- In linked allocation, there no need to allocate consecutive memory locations to store the elements of list.
- In Java, a linked list is executed as a sequence of nodes.
- Here, each node contains an element and a reference to the next node in the list.
- In a linked list, each element consists of two things such as the value and a reference to the next node. The final node contains a reference to “null”.
- The entry point into a linked list is called the list head...

Group of answer choices Unlike array, linked list can dynamically grow and shrink With linked list, it is faster to access a specific element than with array Linked list is easier to implement than array Unlike array, linked list can only hold a fixed number of elementsarrow_forwardDefine the term " print linked list " .arrow_forward
- What are the Advantages of circularly linked lists over singly linked lists ?arrow_forwardIN PYTHON Linked Lists Consider the implementation of the Linked list class, implement the following functions as part of the class: index(item) returns the position of item in the list. It needs the item and returns the index. Assume the item is in the list. pop() removes and returns the last item in the list. It needs nothing and returns an item. Assume the list has at least one item. pop_pos(pos) removes and returns the item at position pos. It needs the position and returns the item. Assume the item is in the list. a function that counts the number of times an item occurs in the linked list a function that would delete the replicate items in the linked list (i.e. leave one occurrence only of each item in the linked list) Your main function should do the following: Generate 15 random integer numbers in the range from 1 to 5. Insert each number (Item in a node) in the appropriate position in a linked list, so you will have a sorted linked list in ascending order. Display the…arrow_forwardWhich of the following points is true about Linked List data structure when it is compared with array: It is easy to insert and delete elements in Linked List. Random access is allowed in a implementation of Linked Lists. Linked list consume less memory than Array. Time complexity for any operation in a linked list is O(1)arrow_forward
