Where linked list is used in computer?

Answer 1

Linked lists are dynamic linear data containers.

They are linear because each item has one adjacent item in each direction (there is a predecessor, or none, and a successor, or none, to each item, but never more than one in each direction).

They are dynamic because the size is not generally fixed and potentially infinite. To manage such a dynamic structure, memory for new items is allocated at runtime, and the different items are connected, or linked, through pointers.

In a single linked list, a single pointer points from one item to the next item.

In a double linked list, one pointer points from one item to the next item, and a second pointer points to the previous item in the list.

Answer 2

data processing frequently involves storing and processing data organised in to lists

and link them with pointers hece termed as linked lists
