Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) with JavaScript involves a structured approach. Here's a detailed roadmap to help you navigate through the key concepts and techniques:
JavaScript Basics:
- Understand variables, data types, operators, and control structures (if-else, loops).
- Functions, scope, and closures.
- ES6+ features: let/const, arrow functions, template literals, destructuring, spread/rest operators.
Basic Data Structures:
- Arrays and Strings.
- Objects and Maps.
Linear Data Structures:
- Arrays: Basic operations, multi-dimensional arrays.
- Linked Lists: Singly, doubly, and circular linked lists.
- Stacks: LIFO principle, stack operations.
- Queues: FIFO principle, circular queue, priority queue.
Non-Linear Data Structures:
- Trees: Binary trees, binary search trees (BST), AVL trees, red-black trees.
- Heaps: Min-heap, max-heap.
- Graphs: Representations (adjacency list, adjacency matrix), types of graphs (directed, undirected, weighted, unweighted).
Hashing:
- Hash tables, hash functions, collision resolution techniques (chaining, open addressing).
Trie:
- Prefix trees for efficient string operations.
Sorting Algorithms:
- Bubble sort, selection sort, insertion sort.
- Merge sort, quicksort, heap sort.
- Counting sort, radix sort, bucket sort.
Searching Algorithms:
- Linear search, binary search.
- Search in rotated sorted array.
Dynamic Programming:
- Concepts of memoization and tabulation.
- Classic problems: Fibonacci sequence, knapsack problem, longest common subsequence.
Greedy Algorithms:
- Activity selection, coin change problem, Huffman coding.
Graph Algorithms:
- Depth First Search (DFS), Breadth First Search (BFS).
- Shortest path algorithms: Dijkstra’s, Bellman-Ford.
- Minimum spanning tree algorithms: Kruskal’s, Prim’s.
Backtracking:
- N-queens problem, subset sum, permutation and combination generation.
