Linear singly linked lists also allow tail-sharing, the use of a common final portion of sub-list as the terminal portion of two different lists.

Several operating systems developed by Technical Systems Consultants ( originally of West Lafayette Indiana, and later of Chapel Hill, North Carolina ) used singly linked lists as file structures.

A simple example of why mutual exclusion is important in practice can be visualized using a singly linked list of four items, where the second and third are to be removed.
15.
In Scheme, a list is a collection of pairs, consisting of a value and a pointer to the next pair ( or null value ), making a singly linked list.
16.
Using an alternative container ( for example a singly linked list instead of a vector ) would be a better choice ( globally more efficient ) if the stability of the iterators is needed.
17.
Each file may occupy one or more of these clusters depending on its size; thus, a file is represented by a chain of these clusters ( referred to as a singly linked list ).
18.
A list consists of a singly linked sequence of symbols, as might be expected-- plus some " description lists ", which are subsidiary singly linked lists interpreted as alternating attribute names and values.
19.
An alternative implementation represents a node as a triple and links the children of a node together as a singly linked list : points to the node's first child, to the parent node's next child.
20.
Program lines were stored in memory as a singly linked list with a line number, a pointer ( containing the address of the beginning of the next program line ), and then the tokenized code for the line.
