CHAPTER 4 Linked Lists and Iterators

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of this chapter are to familiarize the student with the features, implementation, and uses of linked structures and list iterators. More specifically, the student will be able to

Explain the advantages of linked structures and be able to quantify their performance.

Understand the memory model programmers use to represent linked structures and the resulting advantages and disadvantages of this representation.

Understand the classic linked structures Singly Linked list (and ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
