What are the advantages of linked lists over arrays?

Linked lists offer dynamic memory allocation, allowing for efficient insertions and deletions.

Can you explain how dynamic memory allocation works in linked lists?

Sure! In linked lists, each element (node) points to the next, so memory can be allocated as needed.

What about the performance differences in accessing elements?

Arrays allow for O(1) access time, while linked lists require O(n) due to traversal.

Are there any scenarios where arrays are better than linked lists?

Yes, arrays are better for scenarios requiring fast access and when the size is known in advance.
