Dynamic array extension for Node.js offering better performance for use as a stack or queue

Purpose: This extension wraps a C++ std::deque giving Node.js developers asymptotically optimal queues and stacks.

Requirements: Node.js, node-gyp, gcc and g++

Build instructions: cd to download directory, node-gyp configure, node-gyp build

NPM: Can be installed from NPM via: npm install dynamic-array

Usage:

var arr = require('dynamic-array').DynamicArray();

// use as a queue

console.log("Use as a queue");
console.log("Should list 0 - 9");

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
  arr.enqueue(i);

while(arr.size() > 0)
  console.log(arr.dequeue());

// use as a stack

console.log("Use as a stack");
console.log("Should list 9 - 0");

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
  arr.push(i);

while(arr.size() > 0)
  console.log(arr.pop());

// iteration

console.log("Iteration");
console.log("Should list 0 - 9");

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
  arr.push_back(i);

arr.each(function(item) {
  console.log(item);
});

arr.clear();

// sorting

console.log("Sorting");
console.log("Should list 0 - 9");

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
  arr.push_back(i);

arr.each(function(item) {
  console.log(item);
});

console.log("Should now be reversed")

arr.sort(function(a, b) {
  return (a > b);
});

arr.each(function(item) {
  console.log(item);
});

arr.clear();

// assignment

console.log("Assignment");
console.log("Should list 0 - 8, 8");

for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
  arr.push_back(i);

arr.assign(9, 8);

arr.each(function(item) {
  console.log(item);
});

// retrieval

console.log("Retrieval");
console.log("Should list 7, 8");

console.log(arr.at(7));
console.log(arr.at(8));

arr.clear();

// bounds checking

console.log("Should throw exceptions for being out of bounds");
console.log("This bounds checking is to prevent memory leaks and other programming errors");

try {
  arr.at(1);
} catch (e) {
  console.log(e);
}

try {
  arr.assign(1, 0);
} catch (e) {
  console.log(e);
}
