Detailed explanation-3: -The Linked List is a linear data structure, in which the elements are not stored at contiguous memory locations. The elements in a linked list are linked using pointers. It is implemented on the heap memory rather than the stack memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -A linked list is called a dynamic data structure because it can be used with a data collection that grows and shrinks during program execution. The major advantage of using linked list over arrays is in implementing any data structure like stack or queue.

Detailed explanation-5: -A linked list is a dynamic data structure. The number of nodes in a list is not fixed and can grow and shrink on demand.
