The advantages and disadvantages of linear table sequential storage and the advantages and disadvantages of linear list

Sequential storage of linear tables

Advantages: It has the advantages of simplicity and convenient operation, especially for linear table with small linear table or fixed length, the advantage of sequential storage structure is more outstanding;

Disadvantages: 1. Sequential storage inserts and deletes an element that must move large data elements to this large linear table, especially in the case of inserting and deleting elements very frequently, taking sequential storage is inconvenient and inefficient;

2. Sequential storage space is easy to fill, overflow, program access problems, sequential storage structure, storage space is inconvenient to expand;

3. The allocation of sequential storage space, divided into more waste, less space on the overflow.

For large linear table, especially the large linear table with frequent element change, the sequential storage space should not be used, but the chain-type storage structure is adopted.
