>Hi Chris, thanks for the reply. There's a couple of reasons why I would need a Linked List (and other data structures):
>- Education: the Linked List is a core data structure that CS undergraduates (among others) use and study, so it is vital that they have hands on access to them. A list is basically a dynamic array; the only property it shares with a Linked List is that it's dynamic.
My CS courses required us to implement our own linked lists (in FORTRAN
IV yet). Providing a built-in linked list just negates the educational
aspect.
>- Development: the use of correct data structures is important when developing applications, especially for issues like scaling and efficiency. For instance, when working with polynomials, Linked Lists provide a great interface to access and edit them.
What does having links gain you that you don't get from a regular list
with slicing?
