Behavioral Design Patterns in C++ - Containers - II (List)

The lecture covers the implementation of a linked list as a dynamic data structure. It begins with an introduction to the concept of nodes and pointers, followed by the process of adding nodes to the list. The instructor explains the implementation of the constructor and destructor, highlighting the challenges of accessing elements in a linked list compared to an array. The lecture concludes with a reflection on the implementation and encourages students to think about alternative approaches for accessing elements in data structures.

What is a linked list and how does it differ from an array?

Explain the structure of a node in a one-way linked list.

What steps are involved in adding a new node to the front of a linked list?

Discuss the performance implications of adding a node at the end of a linked list.

How can the head pointer be used to access elements in a linked list?
