Remember what the loops look like for doing each traversal. for (int i=0; i<array.length; i++){array[i]...} vs. current = this; while (current != null) {...current = current.getNext();}. Mark Guzdial
In an array you just go straight down the line, or in terms of computer memory from 00001 - 00002 etc. With a linked list yes they are all in line, but the individual pieces are scattered all over memory, and if you wanted to find the 9999/10000'th term, you'd have to find every last one before it instead of just skipping to the index.
