What are concrete examples of use cases ofrules for using a linked listslist instead of an array?

A linked list can be used when you want cheap insertion and deletion of elements and when it doesn't matter that the elements aren't next to each other in memory.

This is very abstract and I would like to see somea concrete examplesexplanation of whenwhy a linked list isshould be used rather than an array. I'm not very experienced with programming, so I haven't got much (if any) real-world experience.
