What is the search speed in LinkedList (average and worst case)?

Answer from AI
In a LinkedList, the search for an element by value has a complexity:
- Average time: O(n), since it requires traversing the list elements until the desired one is found.
- Worst-case time: O(n), when the element is at the end of the list or not present.
LinkedList does not support direct access by index, so search always requires sequential traversal of elements.
