title: In what sense can a LinkedList be said to not support random access?
body: <p><a href="http://www.javatpoint.com/LinkedList-in-collection-framework" rel="nofollow">This article</a> states that there's "No random access" in LinkedList. Can anybody explain this to me?</p>
  
  <p>Given</p>
  
  <pre><code>LinkedList&lt;String&gt; l = new LinkedList&lt;&gt;();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I can use,</p>
  
  <pre><code>l.get(n);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Given this, why does the article say "No random access"?</p>
