Each element in a linked list is stored in the form of a  node .   And a node is a collection of two sub-elements or parts , information or data part and another is address part .  A linked list is formed when many such nodes are linked together to form a chain. Each node points to the next node present in the order. The first node is always used as a reference to traverse the list and is called  Start or head and t he last node points to   NULL .
