JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures

This repository contains JavaScript-based examples of many popular algorithms and data structures.

Each algorithm and data structure has its own separate README with related explanations and links for further reading (including ones to YouTube videos).

Data Structures

A data structure is a particular way of organizing and storing data in a computer so that it can be accessed and modified efficiently. More precisely, a data structure is a collection of data values, the relationships among them, and the functions or operations that can be applied to the data.

Remember that each data has its own trade-offs. And you need to pay attention more to why you're choosing a certain data structure than to how to implement it.

Algorithms

An algorithm is an unambiguous specification of how to solve a class of problems. It is a set of rules that precisely define a sequence of operations.

How to use this repository

Install all dependencies

npm install

Run ESLint

You may want to run it to check code quality.

npm run lint

Run all tests

npm test

Run tests by name

npm test -- 'LinkedList'

Troubleshooting

If linting or testing is failing, try to delete the node_modules folder and re-install npm packages:

rm -rf ./node_modules
npm i

Also, make sure that you're using the correct Node version (>=16). If you're using nvm for Node version management you may run nvm use from the root folder of the project and the correct version will be picked up.

Useful Information

Big O Notation

Big O notation is used to classify algorithms according to how their running time or space requirements grow as the input size grows.

On the chart below, you may find the most common orders of growth of algorithms specified in Big O notation.

Big O Notation Type Computations for 10 elements Computations for 100 elements Computations for 1000 elements
O(1)
Constant 1 1 1
O(log N)
Logarithmic 3 6 9
O(N)
Linear 10 100 1000
O(N log N)
n log(n) 30 600 9000
O(N^2)
Quadratic 100 10000 1000000
