What is the worst-case time complexity for accessing an element in a queue implemented using a linked list?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand what a queue is. A queue is a data structure that follows the First In First Out (FIFO) principle.
Step 2: Know that a queue can be implemented using a linked list, where each element points to the next one.
Step 3: Realize that to access an element in a linked list, you usually start from the head (the first element) and move through the list.
Step 4: Understand that in the worst case, you may have to look at every element in the list to find the one you want.
Step 5: Since there can be 'n' elements in the queue, the time it takes to access an element can be proportional to 'n'.
Step 6: Therefore, the worst-case time complexity for accessing an element in a queue implemented using a linked list is O(n).
