## Running Tests

**Run all tests**
```
npm test
```

**Run tests by name**
```
npm test -- -t 'LinkedList'
```

## Playground

You may play with data-structures and algorithms in `./src/playground/playground.js` file and write
tests for it in `./src/playground/__test__/playground.test.js`.

Then just simply run the following command to test if your playground code works as expected:

```
npm test -- -t 'playground'
```

Below is the list of some of the most used Big O notations and their performance comparisons against different sizes of the input data.

| Big O Notation | Computations for 10 elements | Computations for 100 elements | Computations for 1000 elements  |
| -------------- | ---------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| **O(1)**       | 1                            | 1                             | 1                               |
| **O(log N)**   | 3                            | 6                             | 9                               |
| **O(N)**       | 10                           | 100                           | 1000                            |
| **O(N log N)** | 30                           | 60                            | 9000                            |
| **O(N^2)**     | 100                          | 10000                         | 1000000                         |
| **O(2^N)**     | 1024                         | 1.26e+29                      | 1.07e+301                       |
