Learning JavaScript Data Structures and Algorithms - Second Edition

Summary

In this chapter, you learned about the linked list data structure and its variants, the doubly linked list and the circular linked list. You learned how to remove and add elements at any position, and how to iterate through a linked list. You also learned that the most important advantage of a linked list over an array is that you can easily add and remove elements from a linked list without shifting over its elements. So, whenever you need to add and remove lots of elements, the best option would be a linked list instead of an array. In the next chapter, you will learn about sets, the last sequential data structure that we will cover in this book.
