What is the time complexity of linked list operations?

Can you explain the time complexity of different operations in a linked list?

Sure! The time complexity varies by operation. For example, inserting or deleting a node at the beginning is O(1), while searching for a node is O(n).

What about accessing an element in a linked list?

Accessing an element in a linked list is O(n) because you have to traverse the list from the head to the desired node.

Is the time complexity different for singly and doubly linked lists?

The time complexities for basic operations are generally the same, but doubly linked lists allow for easier deletion and insertion at both ends.

Can you give me a summary of all the time complexities for linked list operations?

Certainly! Here’s a quick summary: Insertion at head: O(1), Insertion at tail: O(n), Deletion: O(1) at head, O(n) elsewhere, Search: O(n), Access: O(n).
