Initializing every bucket's pointer to NULL

#1

By initializing every bucket’s pointer to Null, are we creating individual buckets that could be linked later?

Hey @gargprachi1203
We make pointer as null when new node is created, which we generally do while inserting i.e linking a new node to already existing linked list.

If I initialize every element to NULL and then link them later, using a while loop, would it work?

Yes It will work too but we generally don’t do like this because you have to maintain a hashmap where key is nos and value is nodes
