* Title: Singly Linked List
* Project: geekviewpoint
* Package: datastructure
*
* Description: A LinkedList is a data structure that allows access
* to a collection of data using pointers/references. While an
* array can also be defined as above, LinkedLists and arrays differ
* in how they are stored in memory and in the operations they
* allow. Unlike an array that must be stored in a block of memory,
* the nodes of a LinkedList can be stored anywhere because each
* node has a reference to the node that succeeds it. Because the
* nodes are stored so loosely, inserting nodes into a LinkedList
* is easy; whereas in an array, all the succeeding elements must
* be shifted. Of course, insertion also means changing the size of
* the array, which means creating the entire array anew.
*
* Perhaps the greatest beauty of LinkedList is that it allows
* accessing an entire sequence of nodes using only one variable:
* a reference to the first node in the sequence.
*
* Countless operations can be performed on LinkedLists. Following
* are a few, ranging from the common to the very interesting.
