JavaScript is a versatile language with a rich set of data types that go beyond the basic primitives like numbers, strings, and booleans.
In this lesson, we’ll explore some of the more advanced data types that can help you write more efficient and powerful code. We’ll dive into the use of BigInt for handling large integers with precision, Symbols for creating unique identifiers, and the sophisticated data structures like Map, Set, WeakMap, and WeakSet that provide more flexibility and efficiency in managing collections of data. These data types are essential tools for any developer looking to master the intricacies of JavaScript and take their coding skills to the next level.
Beyond these, we’ll also explore data structures that are crucial for certain algorithms and applications, such as Stacks and Linked Lists. While these structures are often associated with more traditional programming languages, they play a critical role in JavaScript as well, especially when performance and memory management are key concerns.
