Linked list is a dynamic data structure that contains a "link" to the structure containing the next item. It is a collection of structures ordered not by their physical placement in memory (like array) but by logical links that are stored as part of the data in the structure itself.Advantages of Linked Lists- Dynamic structure (Mem. Allocated at run-time).- We can have more than one datatype.- Re-arrange of linked list is easy (Insertion-Deletion).- It doesn't waste memory.Disadvantages of Linked Lists- In linked list, if we want to access any node it is difficult.- It is occupying more memory.
A singly-linked circular list is useful for implementing queue data structures with minimum overhead. Normally we implement a queue with two pointers: one to the tail for insertions and one to the head for extractions. With a circular list we only need to maintain a single pointer to the tail because the tail always points "forwards" to the head (instead of null as it normally would), thus achieving constant-time access to both the head and tail via a single pointer. Circular linked lists are generally useful wherever "wraparound" is necessary. That is, from any given node in the list, we can traverse forwards with the guarantee that we will eventually arrive back at that same node. With doubly-linked circular lists we have the advantage of traversing in either direction (bi-directional traversal).
The Josephus problem is a problem to locate the place for the last survivour. It shows the power of the circular linked list over the singly linked lists.
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.
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.
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.

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.

Yes. The tail node's next node is the head node, while the head node's previous node is the tail node.
Structures are data structures, which includes arrays, linked-lists, doubly-linked lists, circular lists, trees, binary trees and balanced binary trees, amongst many others. They are simply frameworks that are used to represent and manipulate data. For instance, a self-balancing binary tree is often used to automatically sort data as it is input, allowing for fast search and retrieval of that data. Lists are typically used for unsorted queues and stacks while arrays are typically used for high-speed random access.
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.
Circular linked lists are really no different to ordinary linked lists, other than that the tail node points back to the head node (and vice versa if the list is doubly-linked). Therefore the merge process is exactly the same: iterate through the second list and insert each node's data into the first list. Since lists are un-associated containers, it doesn't matter where the insertions occur but, by convention, insertions typically occur at the tail of the list. If an order must be maintain, an insertion sort should be employed instead. Note that if you need to maintain the original two lists (in their un-merged state), simply copy the first and insert the second into the copy instead.
Doubly linked lists require more memory than singly linked lists because each node in a doubly-linked list requires two pointers whereas each node in a singly-linked list only requires one pointer. In terms of operation, doubly-linked lists are only useful if you need bi-directional traversal of the the list. If you only need mono-directional traversal, a singly-linked list is more efficient. However, linked lists of either sort do not perform well when random access is essential. In this case a vector or an array will provide constant time access to any element, and memory consumption is further reduced since there is no longer a need for pointers. However, dynamic expansion of an array can be costly in terms of memory consumption and performance. In cases where random access and scalability are required, one or the other must be compromised.
