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.

Preface

Chapter 11. Patterns of Algorithm

So far, we had fun discussing how to implement several different data structures, among them; the most-used are sorting and searching algorithms. Algorithm in the programming world is very interesting. In this chapter, you will learn more about this world, and we will also discuss the next steps in case you are interested in delving deeper into this world.

We will cover recursion, which was introduced in Chapter 8 , Trees. We will also cover dynamic programming and greedy algorithms, and we will also cover some famous problems.
