dsa_utils v1.1.45

dsa_utils

A collection of data structures and utilities for JavaScript.

• Stack
  • Is implemented using a Doubly-Linked List.
  • Supports the following operations in O(1) Time
    • push()
    • pop()
    • peek()
    • get_length()
• Deque
  • Is implemented using a Doubly-Linked List.
  • Supports the following operations in O(1) Time, in addition to those supported by Stack
    • push_left()
    • shift()
    • peek_left()
• range()
  • Works exactly like Python's range() function.
• memoize(fn)
  • returns a cached/memoized version of fn
• properties
  • find all properties of an object, including inherited properties
• protochain
  • walks up the protochain
• protochain_soft
  • same as protochain but only lists "name" properties on objects

Installation and Usage: Deno

cat <<\EOF > main.js
import {Deque, Stack, range, memoize, properties, protochain, protochain_soft} from "https://deno.land/x/dsa_utils/main.js" // "https://deno.land/x/dsa_utils@v0.0.2.5/main.js"
console.log(Deque, Stack, range, memoize, properties, protochain, protochain_soft)
EOF
deno run main.js

Installation and Usage: Node

mkdir my_project; cd my_project;
touch main.js
npm init -y; npm pkg set type="module";
npm pkg set scripts.test1="node main.js"
npm install dsa_utils

cat <<\EOF > main.js
import {Deque, Stack, range, memoize, properties, protochain, protochain_soft} from 'dsa_utils';
console.log(Deque, Stack, range, memoize, properties, protochain, protochain_soft);
EOF

node main.js

Sympathizing with noobs:

• You must have node.js installed in order to use this package
• Install it via https://nodejs.org or via your favorite package manager, e.g. Homebrew

Notes on Package Managers:

• A package manager is like Apple's "App Store", but for programmers.
• https://brew.sh/ aka Homebrew, is a great package manager for Mac users
• Homebrew is similar to Apple's "App Store", but better in every way.
• There are generally two types of apps you can download, Command Line Tools, and GUI Apps.
• Command Line Tools, like git, node, npm, and gcc are used in the terminal.
• GUI Apps, like Chrome, Firefox, iMessage, etc. are used in the GUI.
• Homebrew calls Command Line Tools "formulae", and GUI Apps "casks".
• Good luck!
