Course
Data Structures and Algorithms in Javascript
48 hours 21 minutes
Credits: Optional Learning
Description
This course teaches learners how to implement and apply fundamental data structures and algorithms using JavaScript. Starting with core data structures including linked lists, queues, stacks, hash maps, trees, heaps, and graphs, learners then progress to algorithm design and analysis covering recursion, sorting algorithms, binary search, graph traversal, and pathfinding techniques.
