A node is a fundamental building block in various data structures, representing a single unit within a larger, interconnected structure. It typically contains data and references (or pointers) to other nodes, establishing relationships and enabling traversal through the structure.

Here's a breakdown of its key components and roles:

1. Data:

• Each node stores a specific piece of data, which can be of any type (e.g., an integer, a string, an object). This data is the value the node represents within the structure.

2. References/Pointers:

• Nodes contain references or pointers that link them to other nodes in the data structure. The type and number of these references depend on the specific data structure:
  • Linked Lists: Nodes typically have a next pointer, pointing to the subsequent node in the sequence. Doubly linked lists also include a previous pointer.
  • Trees: Nodes have left and rightchild pointers (for binary trees) and potentially a parent pointer.
  • Graphs: Nodes (often called vertices) can have multiple pointers to adjacent nodes (edges), representing connections in the graph.
