Can we remove an element in a single linked list without
traversing?
Lets suppose the link list is like this
1 2 3 4 5 6

We need to remove 4 from this list (without traversing from
beginning) and the final link list shud be 1 2 3 5 6

only thing we know is the pointer to element "4". How can
we remove "4" and link "3" to "5"?

Answer / truong nguyen

Memory address of all elements in a linked list are not
continuous. So if we only know the memory address of the
element "4", we cannot know memory address of element "3"
and "5" without traversing. And we cannot remove it from the
linked list.

class A { public: void f(); protected: A() {} A(const A&){} }; Examine the class declaration shown above. Why are the default and copy constructors declared as protected? 1. To ensure that A cannot be created via new by a more derived class 2. To ensure that A cannot be copied 3. To ensure that A cannot be used as a base class except when public inheritance has been used 4. To ensure that A cannot be created/copied outside the inheritance chain 5. To ensure that A cannot be instantiated as a static variable
