Part of the Backend Developer Roadmap.
Summary
A linear data structure of nodes linked via pointers rather than contiguous memory — a classic interview topic for pointer manipulation practice.
How to Learn This
- 1Implement a singly linked list from scratch (insert, delete, traverse).
- 2Solve classic problems: reverse a linked list, detect a cycle, find the middle node.
- 3Learn the 'fast and slow pointer' (tortoise and hare) technique.
