To delete a linked list walk through the list and delete the memory allocated to each element, remembering the next element address, and then iterating or recursing the process using the next element address, until the next element address is null.

what are the various operations in linked list which can be performed on linked list?

In linked list, there are various operations in linked list that you can perform on linked list, eg: adding new elements, deleting elements, getting the first element, getting the next element after an element, any many others.

What is the advantage of doubly linked list over Doubly linked list?

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).


How can you efficiently sort a doubly linked list?

To efficiently sort a doubly linked list, you can use a sorting algorithm such as merge sort or quicksort. These algorithms can be implemented to work with doubly linked lists by considering the pointers in both directions. By recursively dividing the list and merging or partitioning the elements, you can achieve an efficient sorting process.


How do you find whether linked list is circular or not?

To determine if a linked list is circular, you can use the Floyd's cycle detection algorithm. This algorithm involves using two pointers moving at different speeds through the list, and if there is a cycle, the two pointers will eventually meet at the same node. If they don't meet and one of the pointers reaches the end of the list, then the list is not circular.


Is deleting the only node in linked list a special case?

It depends on whether or not you have a head node. If you do, then it is not a special case. If you don't, then it is, and you need to be able to update the head pointer.


Convert single linked list to double 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.
