    12 <concept id="GUID-6006AAB0-B319-546F-8D79-E2D4887A1E72" xml:lang="en"><title>Singly

    13 linked lists</title><shortdesc>A singly linked list is one where each element points forwards

    14 to the next element.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

    15 <p>Unlike a doubly linked list, elements do <i>not</i> point back to the previous

    16 element. The list has an anchor point which points forwards to the first element

    17 and also has a pointer to the last element.</p>

    18 <p>Anchor points are always referred to as <i>headers</i>.</p>

    19 <p>A singly linked list is useful for maintaining a non-circular queue of

    20 items; for example, a stack.</p>

    25 <p>Singly linked lists involve the creation and use of the classes:</p>

    26 <ul>

    27 <li id="GUID-8D31B03F-8978-5292-BE6E-4D3C0EE62460"><p><codeph>TSglQueLink</codeph> </p> </li>

    28 <li id="GUID-547C604A-1F01-5FF7-A316-8F09EE9462EC"><p><codeph>TSglQue&lt;class

    29 T&gt;</codeph> </p> </li>

    30 <li id="GUID-E567AD7E-DB54-54B9-8C1E-5C9A36B1C927"><p><codeph>TSglQueIter&lt;class

    31 T</codeph> </p> </li>

    32 </ul>

    33 <p>In practice, these classes are almost always used as components of other

    34 classes.</p>
