Linked Lists vs. Arrays
Explore the differences between linked lists and arrays focusing on memory allocation and performance. Learn how insertion, deletion, and access operations vary, including their time complexities. This lesson helps you grasp when to use each data structure effectively in C# programming.

Memory allocation comparison
The main difference between arrays and linked lists is memory allocation. An array instantiates a fixed block of memory based on the size defined in its declaration.
On the other hand, linked lists can access or release memory based on the addition and deletion elements. Its size is not fixed.
Performance comparison
Other differences can be observed in the way that elements are inserted and deleted. ...
