Linked List
A linked list is a linear data structure that does not store the members at adjacent memory locations. In the related Links, the components are connected using points. A linked list of nodes comprises basic words, where each node has a data field and a reference(link) to the following node in the link.
Singly Linked List
This is the simplest type of related Link in which every node holds certain information and a reference to the following node of the same data type. The node carries a reference to the following node, meaning that the node stores in the following node address. Only one direction can a single related Links travel data. The picture for the same is below.

// node

printList(head);
}

Doubly Linked List
A double-related Links or a two-way listed link is a more complicated form of a listed link that has a sequential indicator for the next node and the previous one. Hence it comprises three pieces of data. An indicator for the next node. An indicator for the previous one. This would allow us also to go back through the list. The picture below is identical.

System.out.print(“Created DLL is: “);
printList(head_ref);

Circular Linked List
A circular related Links holds the pointer to the initial node of the list. While we go through a circular. We may begin at any node and go back. Forth through the list in any direction until we have reached the same node that we started. So there is no start and no end to a circular related Links. The picture below is identical.

Double Circular
A dubious situation A circular related Link or a circular linked double-way list is a more complicated form of a connected list that contains both the next and the last nodes in the sequence. The difference between the two doubling lists is the same as between the one-bound list and the one-bound list. In the preceding field of the first node, the circulated double-related Links does not include null. The picture for the same is below.

Header Linked List
A linked list header is a particular form of related Links containing a header node at the start of the list. START will thus not point at the initial node of the list in header-related Links, but START will include the header node address. Below is the picture of the related Links Grounded Header.

// Structure of the list
static class link {
int info;
// Pointer to the next node
link next;};

// and traversal of Header Linked List
