&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;In [[computer science]], a '''linked data structure''' is a [[data structure]] which consists of a set of [[Data record (computer science)|data records]] ([[Node (computer science)|nodes]]) linked together and organized by [[Reference (computer science)|references]] (links or [[Pointer (computer programming)|pointers]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The link between data can also be called a connector.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In linked data structures, the links are usually treated as special data types that can only be dereferenced or compared for equality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Linked data structures are thus contrasted with [[arrays]] and other data structures that require performing arithmetic operations on pointers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This distinction holds even when the nodes are actually implemented as elements of a single array, and the references are actually array indices: as long as no arithmetic is done on those indices, the data structure is essentially a linked one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Linking can be done in two ways:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Dynamic allocation]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Array index linking]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Linked data structures include many other widely used data structures:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Linked lists]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Search trees]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Expression trees]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are also key building blocks for many efficient algorithms, such as topological sort and set union-find.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
