## 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'
```

## Useful Information
### Big O Notation
Order of growth of algorithms specified in Big O notation.
![Big O graphs](https://github.com/trekhleb/javascript-algorithms/blob/master/assets/big-o-graph.png)
Source: [Big O Cheat Sheet](http://bigocheatsheet.com/).
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 |
