Grade (0-5): 4.5

Student answer: Arrays must be of a defined size... elements can be added to a linked list w/o defining any size.
Grade (0-5): 5

Student answer: The principal benefit of a linked list over a conventional array is that the order of the linked items may be different from the order that the data items are stored in memory or on disk, allowing the list of items to be traversed in a different order. A linked list is a self-referential datatype because it contains a pointer or link to another datum of the same type. Linked lists permit insertion and removal of nodes at any point in the list in constant time

Question: What is the main advantage of arrays over linked lists?
Instructor answer: The elements in an array can be accessed directly (as opposed to linked lists, which require iterative traversal).

Student answer: Array can retrieve memory from any place in the list while in a link list you have to traverse through each individual node.<br>
Grade (0-5): 5

Student answer: Arrays require less memory than linked lists and allow direct access to a specified item. Also, insertion and deletion in arrays does not require a list traversal.
Grade (0-5): 4.5

Student answer: Access to a particular element is very fast, because its location in memory can be determined mathematically and accessed directly.
Grade (0-5): 5

Student answer: Arrays are good for random access and good for sequential access which are both in constant time. Where linked lists are linear for random access. Arrays are faster in this case.
Grade (0-5): 5

Student answer: An array is capable of accessing any part of that array based on the index. The link list must be traversed from the beginning or the end, that is, data can only be accessed if it is adjacent to the previous or next nodes.
Grade (0-5): 5

Student answer: On the other hand, arrays allow random access, while linked lists allow only sequential access to elements. Singly-linked lists, in fact, can only be traversed in one direction.

Student answer: You don't have to iterate through the entire list to access elements.
Grade (0-5): 4.5

Student answer: you can go forwards and backwards and point to any piece of data at any given time where linked lists have to point to the next piece of data.
Grade (0-5): 3

Student answer: Take up less memory and are contiguously stored
Grade (0-5): 4

Student answer: Arrays, being fixed, are less error prone.
Grade (0-5): 2

Student answer: Arrays have a set list of values. Meaning you can pick a spot in the array such as a[7] picks the 8th spot in the array. With linked lists you have to keep track with pointers if you want to take specific nodes out, otherwise you must traverse the entire list.
Grade (0-5): 5

Student answer: direct access to elements, and speed, linked lists have increased search times to access elements even if the list is sorted. ( like getting the last element without a pointer directly to the end of the list. )
Grade (0-5): 4.5

Student answer: Array items are accessed directly with equal access time
Grade (0-5): 5

Student answer: Array-bases implementations require less memory than a pointer-bases one.
Grade (0-5): 3.5

Student answer: You can go up and down an array , but you can only go one direction while traversing a linked list.
Grade (0-5): 3

Student answer: arrays allow for the random access of any item cotained a any time, linked lists must be gone through toget to the desired item
Grade (0-5): 5

Student answer: In arrays you have direct access to each element, but in linked lists you have to traverse the list up to the element that you need.
Grade (0-5): 5

Student answer: Array size is fixed. But Linked is not fixed, data is also accessed quicker in array list, also memory requirement is less and no pointers required. Arrays have random access and less overheads compared to Linked list have sequential access only with too much overheads and no cache memory support. On the other hand, arrays allow random access, while linked lists allow only sequential access to elements. Singly-linked lists, in fact, can only be traversed in one direction.
Grade (0-5): 5
Question: How are linked lists passed as arguments to a function?
Instructor answer: By reference.

Student answer: They are passed by reference because you want the function to change the pointer<br>
Grade (0-5): 4.5

Student answer: Linked lists are passed as arguments to a function by passing the head pointer of the list by reference.

Student answer: They are passed by reference because you want the function to change the pointer<br>
Grade (0-5): 0.5

Student answer: In a circular linked list, every node has a successor which means that the last node's successor is the head or first node.
Grade (0-5): 5

Student answer: A circular linked list is a linked list that links items in a continuous circle. This allows the full list to be traversed by starting at any item in the list; a fixed head or tail is not required.
Grade (0-5): 4.5

Student answer: In a circular linked list, the last node points to the first node.
Grade (0-5): 5

Student answer: On a circular linked list, the end element points to the head, thus making the circle. A basic link list has nothing pointing to the head, and the last element points to null.
