+ * A linked list is similar to an array, it holds values. However, links in a linked list do not have indexes.
+ * With a linked list you do not need to predetermine it's size as it grows and shrinks as it is edited.
+ * This is an example of a singly linked list. Elements can only be added/removed at the head/front of the list.
