Q&A
| Q1: | Why should I create a linked list if an array will work? |
| A1: | An array must have a fixed size, whereas a linked list can be sized dynamically at runtime. |
| Q2: | Why do you separate the data object from the node? |
| A2: | Once you get your node objects working properly, you can reuse that code for any number of objects that might want to live in a list. |
| Q3: | If I want to add other objects to the list, do I have to create a new list type and a new node type? |
| A3: | For now, yes. We'll solve that when we get to templates. |
