<human>:  What is the difference between a binary tree and a linked list?
<bot>: The main difference between a binary tree and a linked list is that a binary tree is a hierarchical structure where each node has two or more nodes that come before or after it, while a linked list is simply a linear collection of data points, where each node points to the next node in the chain. A binary tree is used for searching, sorting and other complex operations, while a linked list is mainly used for creating and traversing a data structure.
