To get the most out of this book

Although this book provides a brief introduction on JavaScript in its first chapter, you will need a basic knowledge of JavaScript and programming logic.

To test the code examples provided by this book, you will need a code editor (such as Atom or Visual Studio Code) so that you can read the code and also a browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Edge).

You can also test the examples online by accessing https://javascript-ds-algorithms-book.firebaseapp.com/. Also, remember to open the developer tools of the browser so that you can see what is being outputted in the browser's console.

Conventions used

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Mount the downloaded WebStorm-10*.dmg disk image file as another disk in your system."

A block of code is set as follows:

class Stack {
  constructor() {
    this.items = []; // {1}
  }
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

const stack = new Stack();
console.log(stack.isEmpty()); // outputs true

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

 npm install http-server -g
