Increase your productivity by implementing complex data structures and algorithms using JavaScriptKey FeaturesA step by step guide, which will provide you with a thorough discussion on the analysis and design of fundamental JavaScript data structuresGet a better understanding of advanced concepts such as space and time complexity to optimize your codeFocus more on solving the business problem and less on the technical challenges involvedBook DescriptionData structures and algorithms are the fundamental building blocks of computer programming. They are critical to any problem, provide a complete solution, and act like reusable code. Using appropriate data structures and having a good understanding of algorithm analysis are key in JavaScript to solving crises and ensuring your application is less prone to errors. Do you want to build applications that are high-performing and fast? Are you looking for complete solutions to implement complex data structures and algorithms in a practical way? If either of these questions rings a bell, then this book is for you! You'll start by building stacks and understanding performance and memory implications. You will learn how to pick the right type of queue for the application. You will then use sets, maps, trees, and graphs to simplify complex applications. You will learn to implement different types of sorting algorithm before gradually calculating and analyzing space and time complexity. Finally, you'll increase the performance of your application using micro optimizations and memory management. By the end of the book you will have gained the skills and expertise necessary to create and employ various data structures in a way that is demanded by your project or use case.What you will learnBuild custom Back buttons embedded within your applicationBuild part of a basic JavaScript syntax parser and evaluator for an online IDEBuild a custom activity user tracker for your applicationGenerate accurate recommendations for credit card approval using Decision TreesSimplify complex problems using a graphsIncrease the performance of an application using micro-optimizationsWho this book is forIf you are a JavaScript developer looking for practical examples to implement data structures and algorithms in your web applications, then this book is for you. Familiarity with data structures and algorithms will be helpful to get the most out of this book.

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 learnDeclare, initialize, add, and remove items from arrays, stacks, and queuesCreate and use linked lists, doubly linked lists, and circular linked listsStore unique elements with hash tables, dictionaries, and setsExplore the use of binary trees and binary search treesSort data structures using algorithms such as bubble sort, selection sort, insertion sort, merge sort, and quick sortSearch 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.
