[![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/trekhleb/javascript-algorithms/branch/master/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/trekhleb/javascript-algorithms)

This repository contains JavaScript based examples of many 
popular algorithms and data structures.

Each algorithm and data structure have its own separate README 
with related explanations and links for further reading and YouTube
videos.

## Data Structures

Data structure is a particular way of organizing and storing data in a computer so that it can 
be accessed and modified efficiently. More precisely, a data structure is a collection of data 
values, the relationships among them, and the functions or operations that can be applied to 
the data.

## Algorithms

Algorithm is an unambiguous specification of how to solve a class of problems. Algorithm is
a set of rules that precisely defines a sequence of operations.
