Key Differences Between Array and Linked List
1. An array is the data structure that contains a collection of similar type data elements whereas the Linked list is considered as non-primitive data structure contains a collection of unordered linked elements known as nodes.
2. In the array the elements belong to indexes, i.e., if you want to get into the fourth element you have to write the variable name with its index or location within the square bracket.
3. In a linked list though, you have to start from the head and work your way through until you get to the fourth element.
4. Accessing an element in an array is fast, while Linked list takes linear time, so it is quite a bit slower.
5. Operations like insertion and deletion in arrays consume a lot of time. On the other hand, the performance of these operations in Linked lists is fast.
6. Arrays are of fixed size. In contrast, Linked lists are dynamic and flexible and can expand and contract its size.
7. In an array, memory is assigned during compile time while in a Linked list it is allocated during execution or runtime.
9. Elements are stored consecutively in arrays whereas it is stored randomly in Linked lists.
10. The requirement of memory is less due to actual data being stored within the index in the array. As against, there is a need for more memory in Linked Lists due to storage of additional next and previous referencing elements.
11. In addition memory utilization is inefficient in the array. Conversely, memory utilization is efficient in the linked list.

Following are the points in favor of Linked Lists.

(1) The size of the arrays is fixed: So we must know the upper limit on the number of elements in advance. Also, generally, the allocated memory is equal to the upper limit irrespective of the usage, and in practical uses, the upper limit is rarely reached.

(2) Inserting a new element in an array of elements is expensive because a room has to be created for the new elements and to create room existing elements have to be shifted.

For example, suppose we maintain a sorted list of IDs in an array id[].

id[] = [1000, 1010, 1050, 2000, 2040, …..].

And if we want to insert a new ID 1005, then to maintain the sorted order, we have to move all the elements after 1000 (excluding 1000).

Deletion is also expensive with arrays until unless some special techniques are used. For example, to delete 1010 in id[], everything after 1010 has to be moved.

So Linked list provides the following two advantages over arrays
1) Dynamic size
2) Ease of insertion/deletion

Linked lists have following drawbacks:
1) Random access is not allowed. We have to access elements sequentially starting from the first node. So we cannot do a binary search with linked lists.
2) Extra memory space for a pointer is required with each element of the list.
3) Arrays have better cache locality that can make a pretty big difference in performance.

3. Consider the following function that takes reference to head of a Doubly Linked List as parameter. Assume that a node of doubly linked list has previous pointer as prev and next pointer as next.

void fun(struct node **head_ref)
{
    struct node *temp = NULL;
    struct node *current = *head_ref;
    while (current !=  NULL)
    {
        temp = current->prev;
        current->prev = current->next;
        current->next = temp;
        current = current->prev;
    }
    if(temp != NULL )
        *head_ref = temp->prev;
}

Assume that reference of head of following doubly linked list is passed to above function 1 <--> 2 <--> 3 <--> 4 <--> 5 <-->6. What should be the modified linked list after the function call?

2 <--> 1 <--> 4 <--> 3 <--> 6 <-->5

2 <--> 1 <--> 4 <--> 3 <--> 6 <-->5

Time taken to search an element is \Theta (h) where h is the height of Binary Search Tree (BST). The growth of height of a balanced BST is logerthimic in terms of number of nodes. So the worst case time to search an element would be \Theta (Log(n*2^n)) which is \Theta (Log(n) + Log(2^n)) Which is \Theta (Log(n) + n) which can be written as \Theta (n) .

5. Following function is supposed to calculate the maximum depth or height of a Binary tree -- the number of nodes along the longest path from the root node down to the farthest leaf node.

int maxDepth(struct node* node)
{
   if (node==NULL)
       return 0;
   else
   {
       /* compute the depth of each subtree */
       int lDepth = maxDepth(node->left);
       int rDepth = maxDepth(node->right);
 
       /* use the larger one */
       if (lDepth > rDepth)
           return X;
       else return Y;
   }
}

X = lDepth, Y = rDepth

X = lDepth, Y = rDepth

32.44%

X = lDepth + 1, Y = rDepth + 1

X = lDepth + 1, Y = rDepth + 1

41.45%

X = lDepth - 1, Y = rDepth -1

X = lDepth - 1, Y = rDepth -1

while(temp != head)
{
temp = temp.getNext();
