  * 1. Node Structure: Each node contains three parts: a data field, a pointer (or reference) to the previous node, and a pointer to the next node. This structure allows traversal of the linked list in both directions.
  * 2. Bidirectional Traversal: Unlike doubly linked lists, singly linked lists can be easily traversed forwards but not backwards.
  * 3. No Centralized Index: Unlike arrays, elements in a linked list are not stored contiguously, so there is no centralized index. Accessing elements in a linked list typically requires traversing from the head or tail node.
  * 4. High Efficiency in Insertion and Deletion: Adding or removing elements in a linked list does not require moving other elements, making these operations more efficient than in arrays.
  * Caution: Although our linked list classes provide methods such as at, setAt, addAt, and indexOf that are based on array indices, their time complexity, like that of the native Array.lastIndexOf, is 𝑂(𝑛). If you need to use these methods frequently, you might want to consider other data structures, such as Deque or Queue (designed for random access). Similarly, since the native Array.shift method has a time complexity of 𝑂(𝑛), using an array to simulate a queue can be inefficient. In such cases, you should use Queue or Deque, as these data structures leverage deferred array rearrangement, effectively reducing the average time complexity to 𝑂(1).
