A LinkedList is similar to an ArrayList in that it is ordered by
index position, but it differs in that the elements are
double-linked to one another. This linkage gives you new methods
for adding and removing from the beginning or end.
If your program frequently provides random access to the data of
the list, the ArrayList class offers quick access to individual
elements of the list. This quick access comes at a cost of
slower operations for adding and removing in the middle of the
list. If this latter behavior is what you desire, than the
LinkedList class offers a better alternative. It provides quick
sequential access, additions, and deletes, at a cost of slower
random access.
