What is the difference between a singly-linked list and a doubly-linked list?



  • In what situation would you use a singly-linked list over a doubly-linked list?

  • In what situation would you use a doubly-linked list over a singly-linked list?






If a node is in a linked list with N nodes, how many nodes will be traversed during a search for the node?



  • Explain the best- and worst-case search scenarios.

  • Explain why a singly-linked list defines a RemoveAfter() function, while a doubly-linked list defines a Remove() function.
