Time and Space complexity on array vs linked listΒΆ

Time complexity (array) Space complexity (array) Time complexity (LL) Space complexity (LL)
create queue O(1) O(n) O(1) O(1)
enqueue O(1) O(1) O(1) O(1)
dequeue O(1) O(1) O(1) O(1)
peek O(1) O(1) O(1) O(1)
isEmpty O(1) O(1) O(1) O(1)
isFull O(1) O(1) N/A N/A
delete queue O(1) O(1) O(1) O(1)
Space efficient? NO YES

When we compare both implementations of arrays and linked lists, we can say that both implementations are relatively the same, but the linked lists are more space efficient.
