Unlike arrays, linked lists do not have a fixed size, allowing for dynamic memory allocation as elements are added or removed.
Node structure:
data
represents the value stored in the node.next
is a reference to the next node in the sequence. It is initialized tonull
if the node is the last node in the list.- The constructor initializes a node with the provided data and sets the next reference to
