Learning JavaScript Data Structures and Algorithms: Write complex and powerful JavaScript code using the latest ECMAScript, 3rd Edition 3rd Revised edition
Purchase options and add-ons
Create classic data structures and algorithms such as depth-first search and breadth-first search, learn recursion, as well as create and use a heap data structure using JavaScript
Key Features
- Implement common data structures and the associated algorithms along with the context in which they are used
- Master existing JavaScript data structures such as arrays, sets, and maps, and learn how to implement new ones such as stacks, linked lists, trees, and graphs in ES 8
- Develop abstract data types to make JavaScript a more flexible and powerful programming language
Book Description
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.
What you will learn
- Declare, initialize, add, and remove items from arrays, stacks, and queues
- Create and use linked lists, doubly linked lists, and circular linked lists
- Store unique elements with hash tables, dictionaries, and sets
- Explore the use of binary trees and binary search trees
- Sort data structures using algorithms such as bubble sort, selection sort, insertion sort, merge sort, and quick sort
- Search elements in data structures using sequential sort and binary search

- Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2018Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI purchased this book after failing horribly at a software developer interview. I have been a developer for 4 years but as a self taught developer I lacked some of the CS fundamentals. This book has taught me a lot about how to solve many CS problems by using data structures. I have not finished the book yet but I already feel pretty confident with the new things I have learned.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2019Format: KindleVerified Purchasetoo many references to the code written elsewhere. It becomes tiresome to go go back and remind yourself. Many errors in the code.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2021Format: KindleThe author of the book doesn't use a file folder structure that makes sense if you're a student trying to learn for a first time. The code has short cuts that won't make sense to someone seeing it for the first time either. She uses imported comparison functions and not doesn't really explain how they work. Its also hard to code along with this book. You'll have to zoom out to tiny font size to see most of the code in one page. She doesn't put comments after the semi colon or above the line of code so if you are coding along you're going to have to turn the page or use two column view - using up more screen - just to see the comments she has on the next page. Bad formatting and bad book. I bought this while I was in a coding bootcamp and I learned more from searching blogs than this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018Format: Paperbackwhat is new in this version? I noticed the modules section about es6 modules in node. And a full chapter on es6 and ECMAScript
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2018Format: PaperbackWhen you are able to determine what the author is saying, you'll discover its wrong. There are so many errors in this book, I am unsure why this book is in its 3rd Edition. I paid about 50.00 bucks for this book and I feel completely ripped off. Also, you will not find any refuge in "Hands-on Data Structures and Algorithms with Javascript by Kashyap Mukkamala" as the case is the same.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2019Format: PaperbackSo many errors... I questioned every line. Some errors are mindblowing. Here is my favorite: "...This resulted in a new language standard, which we know as ECMAScript. JavaScript is an implementation of this specification (the most popular), which is known as ActionScript." (ActionScript is in bold!).
Is this book about ActionScript? What is known as ActionScript? JavaScript? ECMAScript? Since when???
Quit without finishing chapter 1 simply because I don't trust the information it provides. It's a pity since I don't see enough books on this topic.

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the best resources out there to learn JavaScript Algorithm
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseFirst I was scared of previews reviews but then I quickly used book.google to find get some content of the book.
In my experience , the best resources out there to learn Algorithm and Data Structures . You'll need to start from references online and then practice with this book.
Thanks once again for this wonderful book - Joaquim Pagian BarbozaReviewed in Spain on April 27, 2023
