Linked Lists Memory Tips

Learn important tips for managing memory in linked lists. Nodes are created on the heap and tracked with pointers. When creating new nodes, remember that a pointer is required to store the address. Be mindful of deleting nodes to avoid losing track of memory allocation. Ensure one delete operation per new node, not per pointer used.
