Learning JavaScript Data Structures and Algorithms

Create classic data structures and algorithms such as depth-first search and breadth-first search learn recursion as well as create and use a heap data structure using JavaScriptKey FeaturesImplement common data structures and the associated algorithms along with the context in which they are usedMaster existing JavaScript data structures such as arrays sets and maps and learn how to implement new ones such as stacks linked lists trees and graphs in ES 8Develop abstract data types to make JavaScript a more flexible and powerful programming languageBook DescriptionA data structure is a particular way of organizing data in a computer to utilize resources efficiently. Data structures and algorithms are the base of every solution to any programming problem. With this book you will learn to write complex and powerful code using the latest ES 2017 features.Learning JavaScript Data Structures and Algorithms begins by covering the basics of JavaScript and introduces you to ECMAScript 2017 before gradually moving on to the most important data structures such as arrays queues stacks and linked lists. You will gain in-depth knowledge of how hash tables and set data structures function as well as how trees and hash maps can be used to search files in an HD or represent a database. This book serves as a route to take you deeper into JavaScript. You’ll also get a greater understanding of why and how graphs one of the most complex data structures are largely used in GPS navigation systems in social networks.Toward the end of the book you’ll discover how all the theories presented in this book can be applied to solve real-world problems while working on your own computer networks and Facebook searches.What you will learn Declare initialize add and remove items from arrays stacks and queues Create and use linked lists doubly linked lists and circular linked lists Store unique elements with hash tables dictionaries and sets Explore the use of binary trees and binary search trees Sort data structures using algorithms such as bubble sort selection sort insertion sort merge sort and quick sort Search elements in data structures using sequential sort and binary searchWho this book is forIf you’re a JavaScript developer who wants to dive deep into JavaScript and write complex programs using JavaScript data structures and algorithms this book is for you.
