In this assignment, you will expand on the information provided in the course to answer the following questions in a 2- to 3-page paper:

What is the difference between a singly-linked list and a doubly-linked list?

  • In what situation would you use a singly-linked list over a doubly-linked list?
  • In what situation would you use a doubly-linked list over a singly-linked list?

If a node is in a linked list with N nodes, how many nodes will be traversed during a search for the node?

  • Explain the best- and worst-case search scenarios.
  • Explain why a singly-linked list defines a RemoveAfter() function, while a doubly-linked list defines a Remove() function.
  • Could a RemoveAfter() function also be defined for a doubly-linked list? Explain why or why not.
  • Could a Remove() function also be defined for a singly-linked list? Explain why or why not.
