Linked List Basics

This article introduces the basic structures and techniques for building linked lists with a mixture of explanations, drawings, sample code, and exercises. The material is useful if you want to understand linked lists or if you want to see a realistic, applied example of pointer-intensive code. Even if you never really need a linked list, they are an excellent way to learn pointers and pointer algorithms.
