# Linked List Overview
A linked list is a linear data structure consisting of a sequence of elements, where each element points to the next one in the sequence. Unlike arrays, linked lists do not have a fixed size and allow for dynamic memory allocation.
# Operations:
1. Insert
- Description: Adds a new element to the end of the linked list.
- Syntax: void insert(const T& value);
2. Display
- Description: Prints the elements of the linked list to the console.
- Syntax: void display();
# Properties:
1. Singly Linked List
- Description: Each element in the list points to the next one, forming a unidirectional sequence.
- Advantages: Efficient insertion and deletion at the beginning and end of the list.
- Disadvantages: Inefficient random access and traversal requires sequential scanning.
2. Doubly Linked List
- Description: Each element in the list points to both the next and the previous one, forming a bidirectional sequence.
- Advantages: Supports efficient traversal in both directions and faster deletion of nodes.
- Disadvantages: Requires more memory to store additional pointers.
3. Circular Linked List
- Description: The last element in the list points back to the first one, forming a circular sequence.
- Advantages: Allows for efficient traversal and operations that require looping through the list indefinitely.
- Disadvantages: Insertion and deletion operations may be slightly more complex compared to linear linked lists.
