What is a linked list?

A linked list is a data structure that only contains a single node with no connections.

A linked list is a type of array that stores elements in contiguous memory locations.

A linked list is a collection of unordered elements without any references.

How does a singly linked list differ from a doubly linked list?

A singly linked list requires more memory than a doubly linked list due to its structure.

A singly linked list can store multiple data types, while a doubly linked list can only store one data type.

A singly linked list allows traversal in one direction, while a doubly linked list allows traversal in both directions.

A singly linked list has a fixed size, while a doubly linked list can grow dynamically.
