JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures

Description

In this course, you will learn:

• While HTML and CSS regulate a page's content and layout, JavaScript makes it interactive. The JavaScript Algorithm and Data Structures Certification covers the essentials of JavaScript, such as variables, arrays, objects, loops, and functions. 
• Once you've mastered the principles, you'll use your knowledge by developing algorithms to manipulate strings, factorialize numbers, and even compute the orbit of the International Space Station. 
• About two fundamental programming styles or paradigms: object-oriented programming (OOP) and functional programming (FP).
