Name an advantage of array over linked list? ..

Answer / gurpreet kaur

In arrays memory requirement is less as a refrence is not
required whereas memory for the data as well as for the
pointer is required and hence the overhead.
Arrays allow random access, any element can be accessed
using the subscript whereas linked lists allow sequential
access, accessing of any element requires processing of the
list from the beginning upto the element.
