In addition to an end-of-list sentinel value in a linked list, we must provide a special pointer for storing the address of the last structure in the list.

End-of-List Sentinel

An End-of-List Sentinel is a special value used to mark the end of a list, often used in data structures to signal the termination of iterations.

Special Pointer

A term not commonly used in standard programming documentation, possibly referring to a pointer with a specific function or capability beyond normal referencing. NO.

  • Familiarize yourself with the key operations (insertion, deletion, traversal) on linked lists and their advantages relative to arrays.
  • Comprehend the significance of special pointer values and their use as sentinels in data structures.

Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
In a singly linked list, the end of the list is typically indicated by a null reference in the next pointer of the last node, eliminating the need for a special pointer to store the address of the last structure.
