Question

Linked lists certainly offer some additional flexiblity over arrays. What might be a good example of an application that would use them appropriately? Typed preference.

Answer 1

Answer)
The linked list is a linear data structure where the elements which are stored in separate objects and the elements are not stored in a contiguous location and the elements are linked using the pointers. The linked list nodes are much up of data and reference node. The arrays are the data structures which can hold a fixed number of the values in a single data type which is pre-defined.
Linked lists offer much additional flexibility over the array data structures.
For example:
The size of the arrays are fixed and pre-defined and the upper limit on the array is defined in advanced and thus the allocated memory is equal to the upper limit of the array and the upper limit is not usually reached. Thus the array uses space and memory whereas linked lists are dynamic and elements are added and linked list expands as they are needed and are not pre-defined.
For inserting and deleting in a particular position, it is a problem for the array list while we need to just insert and link the elements in the linked lists. Such as when we maintain a sorted list of number in an array, we need to shift the elements to maintain the sorted list we need to move the elements for maintaining the order. But in a linked list, we just need to get to the position and insert the elements in the middle of the sorted order to maintain the sorted order.
Thus linked list has the advantages of dynamic size and also ease in the insertion and deletion of the elements.
