1. Linked lists provide a dynamic data structure where elements are linked using pointers. Elements can be easily inserted or removed without reorganizing the entire data structure.
2. Linked lists are commonly used to implement stacks and queues, where elements are added or removed from the top/front of the structure. Dynamic memory allocation allows pushing and popping elements efficiently.
3. Polynomials can also be represented using linked lists, where each term is a node containing the coefficient and exponent, linked in descending exponent order. This provides an efficient way to perform operations on polynomial expressions.
