Data Structures and Algorithms in JavaScript

For Javascript developers, this book is a one-stop-shop for learning the algorithms and data structures that solve and optimize complex problems. Covering everything from functional programming and abstract data types, to sorting and searching, lists, bags, binary trees, forests, heaps, and graphs - the author uses examples taken from coding challenges and interview questions, enabling readers to explore the real-world advantages of specific algorithms and data structures. Written and illustrated to be a developer's go-to reference manual as well as for immediate on-the-job applications, performance - both from a theoretical point of view and a practical standpoint - is considered alongside every algorithm or data structure introduced. In addition to demonstrating best practices throughout the text, each chapter ends with a series of questions that amplify the preceding concepts and provide further examples for the reader to apply. Also of note, the book utilizes the latest version of JavaScript (ECMAScript) and its more modern features wherever appropriate.
