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.

Graph traversals


Similar to the tree data structure, we can also visit all the nodes of a graph. There are two algorithms that can be used to traverse a graph, called breadth-first search (BFS) and depth-first search (DFS). Traversing a graph can be used to find a specific vertex or a path between two vertices, to check whether the graph is connected, to check whether it contains cycles, and so on.

Before we implement the algorithms, let's try to better understand the idea of traversing a graph.

The idea of graph traversal algorithms is that we must track each vertex when we first visit it and keep track of which vertices have not yet been completely explored. For both traversal graph algorithms, we need to specify which will be the first vertex to be visited.

To completely explore a vertex, we need to look at each edge of this vertex. For each edge connected to a vertex that has not been visited yet, we will mark it as discovered and add it to the list of vertices to be visited.

In order to...
