Q&A
Q Why should I create a linked list if an array will work?
A An array must have a fixed size, whereas a linked list can be sized dynamically at run time.
Q Why do you separate the data object from the node?
A Once you get your node objects working properly, you can reuse that code for any number of objects that might want to live in a list.
Q If I want to add other objects to the list, do I have to create a new list type and a new node type?
A For now, yes. We'll solve that when we get to templates.
