Singly Linked Lists vs. Doubly Linked Lists

Explore the key differences between singly and doubly linked lists, including bidirectional traversal, deletion efficiency, and the impact of adding a tail pointer to improve operations in C# implementations.

We'll cover the following...

Which is better?

DLLs have a few advantages over SLLs, but these perks do not come without a cost:

  • Doubly linked lists can be traversed in both directions, which makes them more compatible with complex algorithms.
  • Nodes in doubly linked lists require extra memory to store the previousElement pointer.
