Sorry I've been away OT, cool things are happening in San Francisco this week.

Anyways, it's time to exercise your skull organ! For today's challenge, I'm moving away from math and over to programming basics.

Explain the difference between a linked list and an array. For bonus points, give a scenario when you would use a linked list over an array.

an array maintains index based system for its elements?

might be java

arrays have a determined size

arrays are expensive to add to and delete from

linked list has expansive size and is easy to add and remove from

bwahaha

It's easier to store data of different sizes in a linked list. An array assumes every element is exactly the same size.
As you mentioned, it's easier for a linked list to grow organically. An array's size needs to be known ahead of time, or re-created when it needs to grow.
Shuffling a linked list is just a matter of changing what points to what. Shuffling an array is more complicated and/or takes more memory.
As long as your iterations all happen in a "foreach" context, you don't lose any performance in iteration.
