A linked list is a data structure that allows bi-directional traversal with constant-time access to both the head and the tail of the list. Elements may be pushed and popped from anywhere in the list.
A stack is a structure where elements are pushed and popped only at the head of the stack.
A stack is typically implemented using an array (either fixed-length or variable-length) where elements are pushed and popped from the end of the array (you need to keep track of where the last-used element is). However, a stack can also be implemented as a singly-linked list, pushing and popping at the head of the list.
Stacks generally do not allow traversal of the elements.
Linked list otherwise known as a one way list is a linear collection of data elements called nodes,where the linear order is given by a means of a pointer. each node is divided into two parts :the first part contains the info. about the element and the second part contains the address of the next node in the list and this is called linkfield. queue is a linear list of element in which deletion can take place at one end called front and insertion can take place only at the other end called rear.it has a phenomenon cald FIFO(first in first out) stack is a linear structure in which data items maybe added or removed only at one end.the phenomenon is called LIFO(last in first out). it has 2 major operations push:which is used to insert an element into a stack pop:used to delete an element from a stack.
A stack linked list refers to a stack implemented using a linked list. That is to say, a linked list in which you can only add or remove elements to or from the top of the list.
A stack is generally First In, Last Out, and a queue is First In First Out.Item can be added or removed only at one end in stack and in a queue insertion at the rear and deletion from the front.The basic operation of stack are 'push' and 'pop', on other hand of queue are 'enque' and 'dequeue'.
The top of a stack implemented as a linked list is the head of the list. All insertions and extractions occur at the head thus a forward list (singly-linked list) is sufficient to implement a stack.
It depends on what you intend to do with the data. The assumption is the data is dynamic, the number of elements are not known in advance. Binary trees are best if you want to sort the data as it is entered. Linked lists are best if you simply want a list of sequential data, or need to implement a stack or a queue.
I would say that there is no such thing as a circular queue. The point of a circular data structure is to allow the end to loop around to the beginning. Since you can only remove items from the beginning of a queue or add them to the front, having these two items linked has no purpose nor benefit.
Queues are a first in first out structure (FIFO). This means all extractions occur at the head of the list and all insertions occur at the tail. This requires that you maintain pointers to the head and tail node to allow constant time insertion and extraction of nodes. The nodes themselves are singly linked, each pointing to the next node. The tail node always points to NULL until a new node is insert, which the tail points to. The new node then becomes the tail. When extracting a head node, its next node (which may be NULL if it is also the last node) becomes the new head of the list. If the head is NULL, the tail is also set to NULL.
Yes it is possible to implement stack and queue using linked list

linked list are used for creation of stack,queues to use memory in optimum manner linked list are used as they are dynamic in nature

A stack is a data structure in which last item inserted is taken out first . That's why they are known as LIFO (last in first out). Inserting an item in stack is termed as push and taking an item out from stack I s termed as pop. Some applications of stack are : Polish notation, reversing string, backtracking , quick sort algorithm etc. The queue is a linear data structure where operations od insertion and deletion are performed at separate ends also known as front and rear. Queue is a FIFO structure that is first in first out. Whenever a new item is added to queue, rear pointer is used. and the front pointer is used when an item is deleted from the queue.
A queue in any language is a singly-linked list structure that permits new data to be inserted only at the end of a list while existing data can only be extracted from the beginning of the list. Queues are also known as a first in, first out (FIFO) structure. Unlike a standard singly-linked list, the list maintains a pointer to the last node as well as the first, in order to insert new data and extract existing data in constant time. Variations on the queue include the priority queue which permit data to be weighted, such that data with the greatest priority is promoted to the front of the queue, behind any existing data with the same or higher priority, using an insertion sort technique. Insertion is therefore achieved in linear time rather than constant time, however extraction is always in constant time.
Add weights to the elements of the queue and use an algorithm to sort the queue every time an element is added.
The default constructor of a stack is empty because the default value of any container, including a linked list, is an empty container which requires no arguments (all members default to zero).
