Which of the following operations is NOT typically supported by a linked list?
Step 1: Understand what a linked list is. A linked list is a data structure where each element (node) points to the next one.
Step 2: Know that linked lists store data in a sequence, but they do not use indices like arrays do.
Step 3: Realize that in an array, you can access any element directly using its index (like array[0] for the first element).
Step 4: Understand that in a linked list, to access an element, you have to start from the first node and follow the links until you reach the desired node.
Step 5: Conclude that the operation of accessing an element directly by its index is NOT typically supported by a linked list.
