Singly Linked List is a linear, unidirectional data structure where each node stores data and a single pointer to the next node, so traversal moves head-to-tail only and memory is allocated dynamically as new nodes get added.

Što je pojedinačno povezani popis?
Singly Linked List is a linear and unidirectional data structure where data is saved on the nodes, and each node is connected via a link to its next node. Each node contains a data field and a link to the next node. Singly Linked Lists can be traversed in only one direction, whereas a Dvostruko povezana lista can be traversed in both directions.
Here is the node structure of a Singly Linked List:

Why Use a Linked List Over an Array?
Several scenarios favor a Linked List over an Poredak:
- Nepoznat broj elemenata: When the required element count is not known at compile time, a Linked List allocates memory dynamically as elements get added.
- Nasumični pristup: When random indexed access is not needed, a Linked List is a suitable choice.
- Umetanje u sredini: Inserting in the middle of an array requires shifting elements. A Linked List allows insertion at any position by rewriting only a few pointers.
Operacije pojedinačno povezanog popisa
A Singly Linked List is good for dynamically allocating memory. It supports the standard operations of the linked list, i.e., insertion, deletion, searching, updating, merging two lists, and traversing.
The following operations are discussed in this article:
- Umetanje u glavu
- Umetanje u rep
- Umetanje nakon čvora
- Umetanje ispred čvora
- Izbrišite glavni čvor
- Izbrišite repni čvor
- Pretraživanje i brisanje čvora

Here is an example of a linked list with four nodes.
Primjer pojedinačno povezane liste
Insertion at the Head of a Singly Linked List
This is a simple operation. It is generally known as pushing onto a Singly Linked List. A new node is created and placed at the head of the list.
To perform this operation, follow two important conditions:
- If the list is empty, the newly created node becomes the head node, and its sljedeći pointer is NULL.
- If the list is not empty, the new node becomes the head node, and its sljedeći pointer points to the previous head node.
Here is the pseudo-code for inserting a node at the head of a linked list:
function insertAtHead(head, value): newNode = Node(value) if head is NULL: head = newNode return head else: newNode.next = head return newNode
Umetanje u glavu
Insertion at the End of a Singly Linked List
Inserting a node at the end of a linked list is similar to inserting at the head. Traverse to the tail node, then point its sljedeći pointer to the new node. If the head is NULL, the new node becomes the head.
Korak 1) Traverse until the sljedeći pointer of the current node becomes NULL.
Korak 2) Stvorite novi čvor s navedenom vrijednošću.
Korak 3) Dodijelite novi čvor kao sljedeći čvor repnog čvora.
The pseudo-code for inserting at the tail of a singly list:
function insertAtEnd(head, value): newNode = Node(value) if head is NULL: head = newNode return head while head.next is not NULL: head = head.next head.next = newNode newNode.next = NULL
Umetanje u rep
Insertion After a Node in a Singly Linked List
Inserting after a node has two parts: search for the target node and attach a new node after it. Traverse the list until a match is found, then splice the new node in.
Korak 1) Traverse until the value of the current node equals the search item.
Korak 2) Set the new node’s sljedeći pointer to the current node’s sljedeći pokazivač.
Korak 3) Point the current node’s sljedeći pointer to the new node.
Pseudokod:
function insertAfter(head, value, searchItem): newNode = Node(value) while head.value != searchItem: head = head.next newNode.next = head.next head.next = newNode
Umetanje čvora nakon čvora u pojedinačno povezani popis
Insertion Before a Node in a Singly Linked List
This is similar to insertion after a node. Traverse until the next node matches the search value, then insert the new node before it.
Korak 1) Krećite se dok vrijednost sljedećeg čvora ne bude jednaka traženoj stavci.
Korak 2) Create a new node and set its sljedeći pointer to the current node’s sljedeći.
Korak 3) Point the current node’s sljedeći to the new node.
function insertBefore(head, value, searchItem): newNode = Node(value) while head.next.value != searchItem: head = head.next newNode.next = head.next head.next = newNode

Delete the Head of the Singly Linked List
The head pointer is provided as the parameter. The head node is removed, and the next node becomes the new head. The memory of the deleted node must be freed to avoid memory leaks.
Korak 1) Assign the next node of the head as the new head.
Korak 2) Free the allocated memory of the previous head node.
Korak 3) Vratite novi glavni čvor.
function deleteHead(head): temp = head head = head.next free(temp) return head

Delete the Tail of the Singly Linked List
Deleting the tail node is similar to deleting the head node. The difference is that traversal to the end of the list is required. In a Singly Linked List, the node whose sljedeći pointer is NULL is the tail node.
Korak 1) Traverse until just before the tail node. Save the current node.
Korak 2) Free the memory of the next node (the tail).
Korak 3) Set the next node of the current node to NULL.
function deleteTail(head): while head.next.next is not NULL: head = head.next free(head.next) head.next = NULL

Search and Delete a Node from a Singly Linked List
This function performs two tasks: search and delete. Traverse until the end of the list. If a matching node is found, remove it and relink the previous node’s sljedeći pokazivač.
Korak 1) Traverse until the end of the list. Check whether the current node equals the search node.
Korak 2) If a match is found, store a pointer to the current node.
Korak 3) The sljedeći of the previous node becomes the next node of the current node.
Korak 4) Delete the current node and free its memory.
function searchAndDelete(head, searchItem): while head.next.next is not NULL and head.next.value != searchItem: head = head.next temp = head.next head.next = head.next.next free(temp)

Traverse a Singly Linked List
A Singly Linked List only supports traversal from head to tail. There is no pointer to the previous node, so reverse traversal is not possible. Each node is visited in turn, printing its value until NULL is reached.
Korak 1) Traverse each node until NULL is reached.
Korak 2) Ispiši vrijednost trenutnog čvora.
function traverse(head): while head is not NULL: print head.value head = head.next

Složenost pojedinačno povezanog popisa
There are two kinds of complexity: time complexity and space complexity. The worst and average case time complexity are the same for a Singly Linked List.
Best-case time complexity:
- Insertion at the head can be done in O(1). No traversal inside the list is required.
- Search and delete can be done in O(1) if the target element is at the head node.
Average-case time complexity:
- Insertion inside a linked list takes O(n), where n is the total number of elements.
- Search and delete can take O(n) too, because the target element can reside anywhere up to the tail node.
Space complexity of Singly Linked List
A Singly Linked List dynamically allocates memory. To store n elements, it allocates n memory units. So the space complexity is O(n).
Applications of Singly Linked List
Singly Linked Lists appear in many places where forward-only traversal and dynamic memory are useful:
- Stacks and queues: Underlying storage for LIFO stacks and FIFO queues built from nodes.
- Hash table chaining: Collisions are resolved by chaining entries into a Singly Linked List per bucket.
- Adjacency lists: Sparse graphs use a Singly Linked List of neighbors for each vertex.
- Tablice simbola: Compilers and interpreters chain identifiers into a Singly Linked List per scope.
- Memory allocators: Free-list allocators track free blocks as a Singly Linked List.
