A doubly linked list can be traversed in both directions (forward and backward). A singly linked list can only be traversed in one direction.
A node on a doubly linked list may be deleted with little trouble, since we have pointers to the previous and next nodes. A node on a singly linked list cannot be removed unless we have the pointer to its predecessor. On the flip side however, a doubly linked list needs more operations while inserting or deleting and it needs more space (to store the extra pointer).
A circularly linked list guarantees that every link in the list will point to a valid element in the list. Also, it guarantees that you will have access to every other element in the linked list, even if it is only singly linked.
In a single link list, you have only a pointer pointing to the next node. While in a double link list, you have previous and next pointers. Hence you can traverse only in a single direction in a single linked list while in a double linked list, you can traverse in either directions. Hence operations like deleting a successor or a predecessor, printing the list in reverse order, etc can be easily done in double linked list compared to a single link list.
Circular link list can be traversed from any node of the list means any node node can be accessed from other node.
Uses more memory, and the list-handling functions are different (not necessarily more difficult, though)
There is no advantage -- they are exactly the same thing!
Yes, each node in a doubly linked list contain a link to the previous as well as the next node. That is the definition of the doubly linked list.
You copy a singly linked list into a doubly linked list by iterating over the singly linked list and, for each element, calling the doubly linked list insert function.

In C programming, a double linked-list refers to a linked data structure that contains a set of links that have been linked sequentially.
Traversing a doubly linked list is generally faster than traversing a singly linked list, but the speedup depends on how you do the traversal:Traversing from first to last node: No difference.Random access: Doubly linked list is faster, the difference is a fixed factor. (Like twice as fast. Which makes it still very slow for random access compared to arrays.)Reverse order: Doubly linked list is just as fast traversing "backwards" as "forwards", while a singly linked list traversing in reverse order needs to traverse the entire list once for every element in the list - it is a LOT slower. (Time complexity O(n) for doubly linked list, O(n*n) for singly linked, if you are familiar with the notation.)If you are talking about the computer science "big O notation", doubly linked and singly liked lists are the same. This is because the Big O notation ignores fixed factors and only looks at how time increases with the length of the list, and in this respect the two are the same. (Except for the special case of traversing the list in reverse order. Even here a singly linked list could do it in O(n) time - same as a doubly linked list - by reversing the list (O(n)) before traversing it (O(n)) for a total time of 2*O(n), which by the rules of Big O is the same as O(n).)
Yes, each node in a doubly linked list contain a link to the previous as well as the next node. That is the definition of the doubly linked list.
singly linked list stores only the address of next node while doubly linked list stores the address of previous node and next node and hence it is called doubly linked list. In singly linked list only forward traversing is possible while in doubly linked list forward and backward traversal is possible.
You copy a singly linked list into a doubly linked list by iterating over the singly linked list and, for each element, calling the doubly linked list insert function.
A doubly linked list is a linked list in which each node knows where both of its neighbors are.A circular linked list is a linked list in which the "tail" of the list is linked to the "root". (Note that both the tail and root of the list are undefined/arbitrary in a circular linked list)Doubly linked lists are actually not necessarily related to circular linked list (aside from both being based on a linked list structure). In fact, you can have a circular doubly linked list, where each node knows where both of its neighbors are andwhere the list wraps around to connect to itself.

one-dimensional array, and doubly-linked list.

Answersingly linked list has the node inserted only at one end. and the pointer corresponds to the next pointer.but in a doubly linked list, the node pointer points to the both previous and the next node.singly linked list has two nodesdoubly linked list has three nodesA doubly linked list makes sense when you need to traverse the list in both directions. You aren't able to do that with a singly linked list.
You'll need to use a doubly-linked circular list, since otherwise when you pop off the tail element you'll need to whizz all the way round the list to find its predecessor. See the links section for an implementation of a doubly-linked circular list.
I'm sorry brother
