Preface

JavaScript is currently the most popular programming language. It is known as "the Internet language" due to the fact that Internet browsers understand JavaScript natively, without installing any plugins. JavaScript has grown so much that it is no longer just a frontend language; it is now also present on the server (Node.js) and database as well (MongoDB).

Understanding data structures is very important for any technology professional. Working as a developer means you have the ability to solve problems with the help of programming languages and data structures. They are an indispensable piece of the solutions we need to create to solve these problems. Choosing the wrong data structure can also impact the performance of the program we are writing. This is why it is important to get to know different data structures and how to apply them properly.

Algorithms play a major role in the art of Computer Science. There are so many ways of solving the same problem, and some approaches are better than others. That is why it is also very important to know the most famous algorithms.

Happy coding!
