As a someone who is currently learning front end web development, research has led me to the realization that these days companies test both front end and back end developers on their knowledge of Data structures and Algorithms. The interviews are typically structured in styles similar to what you see in Leetcode and hackerRank.

JavaScript is currently the only language I know. People have advised to also concentrate on JavaScript at the backend with nodejs. But the problem is that you almost never see DSA learning resources for JavaScript. HackerRank doesn't even list JavaScript as one of the langauges to practice those sorts of questions. In most interviews the candidates are asked to choose between Python, Java and C family languages.

How does a frontend dev practice DSA? What is the best language to learn Data structures and Algorithms?

tensazangetsu20:
The best language to do DSA is the language you know. I typically use java and JavaScript but if I have an interview today I am definitely using JavaScript since that's what I write more on. Programming is more of application than memorisation and as you get to apply a language frequently, you get to start knowing simple tricks and optimisations to manipulate data structures. My only beef with JavaScript is that it doesn't have heaps but you can use an array and simulate a heap data structure or if you wanna impress your interviewer and the time allows you can build your own heap from scratch. In face to face interviews, you aren't allowed to use google so you need a language you know very very well.

Use the language you know very well besides there's JavaScript on hackkerank. I use It regularly even for online assessments.

Hannania:
The gel is to create an imaginary heap function and use it while informing the interviewer you'll code it later. 90% of the time, they will tell you to leave it(as long as you explain how you'll code it early on).

Some times these interviews need psychological trick.

tensazangetsu20:


Yeah but some interviewers are devil's syndicate.

Johnchrix:


How much are you currently earning

Hannania:
Dont stress yourself learning a new language for DSA. Use this:

https://www.udemy.com/course/master-the-coding-interview-data-structures-algorithms/

100% in JavaScript, and highest rated in udemy. I used it while reproducing the code in python and Java

Esiman:
Remain blessed, sir.

Hannania:
Amen

Kvngfrosh:

quick question chief, Which one should I focus on Spring Data Jdbc or Spring Data Jpa ?

Deicide:
C, C++, Rust You need a language that's either strongly typed or statically typed. In as much as you can use languages like python or JavaScript to create nodes they hide a lot from you especially with handling memory. so you end up writing code that works but it's inefficient.

Tesvin:

Hannania tensazangetsu20
Please what do you have to say about this?

Tesvin:

Hannania tensazangetsu20
Please what do you have to say about this?

Hannania:
Go for JPA. It goes down to implantation . Behind the hood, JPA queries faster. Besides, check average job boards, and JPA is preferred to a point.

tensazangetsu20:


Like I said earlier use what you use with and know. You can use c++ or c or rust but if it's not something you use everyday so you can remember the functions you will flop with it in interviews. No one will allow you use google.

Hannania:
Python was chosen as a preferred language(if you know it or have 1 year of prep), because it lets you forget about the syntax, and just focus on the logic unlike C, C++, and other low-level friendly languages.

For issues of optimization, most algorithm enthusiasts are like spoilt rich kids who got everything in life without knowing how it was made. So new coders don't solve every Data structure from scratch. If you solve it from scratch, the issues of optimization will be negligible because you know the trade-offs of every data structure. Considering that, python is king and has a robust library only equal to Java in this interview space.

Check this out:
Recommended: Python, C++, Java, JavaScript

Acceptable (but prefer recommended if you are familiar): Go, Ruby, PHP, C#,

Avoid: Haskell, Erlang, Rust, Perl, C, Matlab

You must be mad: Brainfuck, Assembly
