What is this?
A JavaScript implementation of classic algorithms and data structures, built for beginners who want readable, well-organized reference code.
A JavaScript implementation of classic algorithms and data structures, built for beginners who want readable, well-organized reference code.Is this a library I can install, or just a reference collection to browse?It is a reference collection rather than a package meant for production use - the maintainers say these implementations exist for demonstration purposes and give no guarantee of performance, security, or API stability.
