Determine which data structures and algorithms are most appropriate for the problems youΓÇÖre trying to solve, and understand the tradeoffs when using them in a JavaScript program. An overview of the JavaScript features used throughout the book is also included.
This book covers:
Arrays and lists: the most common data structures
Stacks and queues: more complex list-like data structures
Linked lists: how they overcome the shortcomings of arrays
Dictionaries: storing data as key-value pairs
Hashing: good for quick insertion and retrieval
Sets: useful for storing unique elements that appear only once
Binary Trees: storing data in a hierarchical manner
Graphs and graph algorithms: ideal for modeling networks
Algorithms: including those that help you sort or search data
Advanced algorithms: dynamic programming and greedy algorithms
