javascript-algorithms is a repository that implements a comprehensive collection of classic data structures and algorithmic solutions in JavaScript — including sorting, searching, graph algorithms, dynamic programming, and more. It serves as a learning and reference resource for developers wanting to understand how standard algorithms can be expressed in JavaScript, bridging the gap between theoretical algorithm knowledge and practical implementation usable in web or Node.js contexts. Because algorithms are implemented in a language (JavaScript) many developers use daily, the repo becomes especially useful for students, interview-preparation candidates, or anyone wanting to learn algorithmic thinking without switching languages. The code tends to be readable, structured, and adapted to JavaScript idioms, making it easier to follow for JS developers.
Features
- Implementations of classic algorithms and data structures (sorting, searching, graphs, dynamic programming, etc.) in JavaScript
- Code written in JavaScript / Node.js — easy to run, test, and integrate in web/JS projects
- Useful for learning algorithmic concepts in a language familiar to many developers rather than switching to lower-level languages
- Readable, well-structured code suited for educational use, interview prep, or quick prototyping
- Offers solutions that can be adapted, extended or customized for real-world JS applications
- Serves as a reference library to understand algorithm performance or behavior directly in JS
