LinkedList data structure is suitable when you frequently need to insert or delete elements in the middle of the list, and fast random access by index is not important. Unlike an array, LinkedList allows efficient addition and removal of elements without shifting others, as elements are linked via references.
Examples of situations:
- Implementation of queues and stacks, where add and remove operations occur at the ends.
- When the size of the collection changes frequently and you want to avoid the costs of memory reallocation.
- When you need to traverse elements in sequential order.
However, if fast access by index is required, it is better to use an array or ArrayList.
