In this lecture, we’ll cover the Singly Linked List, one of the most fundamental dynamic data structures. Unlike arrays, linked lists allow efficient memory usage and flexible insertion/deletion.
🔑 What You’ll Learn
What a Singly Linked List is and how it works
Structure of a node (data + pointer to next)
Core operations: insertion, deletion, traversal
Step-by-step C++ implementation with annotated code
Real-world applications of linked lists (dynamic memory allocation, polynomial representation, file systems)
🎯 Why Watch?
Singly linked lists are the building blocks for advanced data structures like stacks, queues, and trees. Understanding them is crucial for mastering algorithms and preparing for technical interviews.
