Overview of this book

A 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.

The linked list data structure

Arrays (or lists) are probably the most common data structure used to store a collection of elements. As we mentioned previously in this book, each language has its own implementation of arrays. This data structure is very convenient and provides a handy [] syntax to access its elements. However, this data structure has a disadvantage: the size of the array is fixed (in most languages), and inserting or removing items from the beginning or from the middle of the array is expensive, because the elements need to be shifted over (even though we learned that JavaScript has methods from the Array class that will do that for us; this is what happens behind the scenes as well).

Linked lists store a sequential collection of elements but, unlike arrays, in linked lists the elements are not placed contiguously in memory. Each element consists of a node...
