A linked list can be thought of as a series of linked nodes (or items) that are connected by links (or paths). Each link represents an entry into the linked list, and each entry points to the next node in the sequence. The order in which nodes are added to the list is determined by the order in which they are created.
Following are some applications of linked list data structure:
- Stack, Queue, binary trees, and graphs are implemented using linked lists.
- Dynamic management for Operating System memory.
- Round robin scheduling for operating system tasks.
- Forward and backward operation in the browser.
