A step-by-step guide to “seeing” a linked list in action
As a bootcamp grad new to computer science concepts and trained more on implementation than academic side of things, one of the most difficult things for me when studying data structures and algorithms is visualizing data structures that are more complex than the more basic kinds (i.e. arrays and hashes/objects). If you’ve created an array or object, you can easily see what it looks like by logging it out. So if you did this in the browser, or Node, you’d be able to see what’s going on:
