If you thought data structures and algorithms were all just theory, you're missing out on what they can do for your javascript code. Learn to use Big O notation to make your code run faster by orders of magnitude. Choose from data structures such as hash tables, trees, and graphs to increase your code's efficiency exponentially. With simple language and clear diagrams, this book makes this complex topic accessible, no matter your background. Every chapter features practice exercises to give you the hands-on information you need to master data structures and algorithms for your day-to-day work.
Algorithms and data structures are much more than abstract concepts. Mastering them enables you to write code that runs faster and more efficiently, which is particularly important for today's web and mobile apps. Take a practical approach to data structures and algorithms, with techniques and real-world scenarios that you can use in your daily production code. The javascript edition uses javascript exclusively for all code examples, exercises, and solutions.
Use Big O notation to measure and articulate the efficiency of your code, and modify your algorithm to make it faster. Find out how your choice of arrays, linked lists, and hash tables can dramatically affect the code you write. Use recursion to solve tricky problems and create algorithms that run exponentially faster than the alternatives. Dig into advanced data structures such as binary trees and graphs to help scale specialized applications such as social networks and mapping software. You'll even encounter a single keyword that can give your code a turbo boost. Practice your new skills with exercises in every chapter, along with detailed solutions.
Use these techniques today to make your javascript code faster and more scalable.
What You Need:
Certain code examples take advantage of recently introduced javascript features. Therefore, it's important to use a javascript environment that supports ECMAScript 6+ or a newer version.
Who Is This Book For?
This book is ideal for several audiences:
• You’re a computer science student who wants a text that explains data structures and algorithms in plain English. This book can serve as a supplement to whatever “classic” textbook you happen to be using.
• You’re a beginning developer who knows basic programming but wants to learn the fundamentals of computer science to write better code and increase your programming knowledge and skills.
• You’re a self-taught developer who has never studied formal computer science (or a developer who did but forgot everything!) and wants to leverage the power of data structures and algorithms to write more scalable and elegant code.
Whoever you may be, I tried to write this book so that it can be accessed and enjoyed by people of all skill levels.
