Data Theory

This is a repository dedicated to data structures and data theory for JavaScript and in the future maybe C++ as Native Node Addons.

If you are looking for the original repository for this, you can find it in the original branch.

Benchmarks

Theories & Structures

As theories and structures are built, I'll list them under this heading.

You won't see a todo list or a target list this time around. I'll take suggestions as issues on the repository, but I'm going to focus on building common structures and items one at a time. One thing I have learned as a developer is never get ahead of yourself, you can get paralyzed with planning and expectations.

  • LinkedStack: based on a linked list (slower)
  • UArrayStack: based on JS unbounded array (fast)
  • BArrayStack: based on JS bounded array (fastest)
  • LinkedQueue: based on a linked list (fast)
  • UArrayQueue: based on JS array unbound (very slow) Sadly this is the one most professionals teach and it is so wrong
  • BFixArrayQueue: based on JS array bounded but with fixed front at 0 index (slowest) only shown for educational purposes
  • BFltArrayQueue: based on JS array bounded but with floating front index (fastest)

Use in your projects

npm install data-theory
yarn add data-theory

Usage

const { queues } = require('data-theory');

let queue = new queues.LinkedQueue();

queue.enqueue('item');
queue.dequeue();

What is the original branch?

I moved the old repo to the original branch, this old repo was a different appraoch on how to do the data theory applications. I am redoing the entire repo and showing the new types and systems and making it importable.
