## 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'
```
