Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What is the main disadvantage of using a linked list to implement a stack?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand what a stack is. A stack is a data structure that follows the Last In, First Out (LIFO) principle.
Step 2: Know that a linked list is a way to store data where each element points to the next one.
Step 3: Realize that in a linked list, each element (node) contains both the data and a pointer to the next node.
Step 4: Identify that when using a linked list for a stack, each element requires extra memory for the pointer.
Step 5: Compare this to other implementations of a stack, like an array, which only needs memory for the data.
Step 6: Conclude that the main disadvantage of using a linked list for a stack is that it uses more memory because of the additional pointers.
