    The difference between Linear Array and a Record are as follows:
    - An array is suitable for homogeneous data but the data items in a record may have different data type. You cannot store different type of data in array as integer, float, double, etc.
    - In a record, there may not be a natural ordering in opposed to linear array. In array, ordering always start from index.
    - A record form a hierarchical structure but a linear array does not. As an example a record may be parent child relationship, so it will create hierarchical structure.
    The operation of processing each element in the list is known as traversing the link list.
