Which gives faster access to item k?
Short answer. An array, directly by its index.
Which makes insertion and deletion easier?
A linked list, because only links change.
Compare
| Point | Array | Linked list |
|---|---|---|
| Size | fixed | grows |
| Access | direct | walk |
| Insert | shift | relink |
Remember
| Array: fast access |
| List: easy insert, delete |
Which one should you pick? It depends. Compare three points. An array has a fixed size, a list grows. Arrays give direct access. Lists insert by changing links. Remember. Arrays give fast access. Lists make insert and delete easy.
