Learning JavaScript Data Structures and Algorithms - Second Edition

By: Loiane Groner

Overview of this book

This book begins by covering basics of the JavaScript language and introducing ECMAScript 7, before gradually moving on to the current implementations of ECMAScript 6. You will gain an in-depth knowledge of how hash tables and set data structure functions, as well as how trees and hash maps can be used to search files in a HD or represent a database. This book is an accessible route deeper into JavaScript. Graphs being one of the most complex data structures you’ll encounter, we’ll also give you a better understanding of why and how graphs are largely used in GPS navigation systems in social networks. Toward the end of the book, you’ll discover how all the theories presented by this book can be applied in real-world solutions while working on your own computer networks and Facebook searches.

Summary


In this chapter, we covered the most-used data structure: arrays. You learned how to declare, initialize, and assign values as well as add and remove elements. You also learned about two-dimensional and multidimensional arrays as well as the main methods of an array, which will be very useful when we start creating our own algorithms in later chapters.

You also learned the new methods and functionalities that were added to the Array class in the ECMAScript 2015 and 2016 specifications.

In the next chapter, you will learn about stacks, which are arrays with a special behavior.
