Data Structures: Arrays and Linked Lists

Data structures are a way of organizing and storing data to perform operations
efficiently. Arrays and linked lists are fundamental types of data structures.

- Arrays:
- An array is a collection of elements stored in contiguous memory locations.
The elements are indexed, and access to any element is fast with a time complexity
of O(1).
- Arrays have a fixed size and can be used for storing data like integers,
strings, or objects.

- Linked Lists:
- A linked list is a linear collection of data elements called nodes, where
each node contains data and a reference (or link) to the next node in the sequence.
- Linked lists allow for dynamic memory allocation and can be more flexible
than arrays for certain operations, such as inserting or deleting elements.
- Types of linked lists: singly linked list, doubly linked list, and circular
linked list.

Example:
- In an array, accessing the element at index 3 is done in constant time. In a
linked list, traversing through the list is necessary to find the third element.
