From 0 to 1 Data Structures & Algorithms in Java - The Linked List - The Most Basic Of All Data Structures

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at linked lists, a fundamental data structure. It explains the basic concept of linked lists, their implementation in Java, and how they differ from array lists. The tutorial covers how to access elements in a linked list, the structure of a node, and the implementation of a linked list class in Java. It also discusses the memory layout of linked lists, how to traverse them, and the complexity of common operations using big O notation. Linked lists are highlighted as a common topic in programming interviews, especially in C, due to their complexity.

What is the time complexity of adding an element to the end of a linked list?

How does deleting the first element in a linked list work?

What challenges are associated with linked lists in C compared to Java?

Explain the concept of a pointer and a reference in the context of linked lists.
