1. Array Manipulation:

  • Write a function to reverse an array in place.
  • Implement a function to find the maximum and minimum elements in an array.
  • Write a function to remove duplicates from an array.

2. String Manipulation:

  • Implement a function to reverse a string.
  • Write a function to check if a given string is a palindrome
  • Create a function to count the number of vowels in a string.

3. Searching and Sorting:

  • Implement a binary search algorithm to find an element in a sorted array.
  • Write a function to sort an array using the bubble sort algorithm.
  • Implement the merge sort algorithm to sort an array.

4. Linked Lists:

  • Create a singly linked list and implement functions to add, delete, and search for elements.
  • Write a function to reverse a singly linked list.
  • Implement a function to detect if a linked list has a cycle.

5. Stacks and Queues:

  • Create a stack data structure and implement push, pop, and peek operations.
  • Implement a queue data structure and support enqueue and dequeue operations.
  • Use stacks to check if parentheses in a string are balanced.

6. Hash Tables:

  • Implement a hash table data structure with methods for insertion, retrieval, and deletion.
  • Solve the problem of finding the first non-repeating character in a string using a hash table.

7. Recursion:

  • Write a recursive function to calculate the factorial of a number.
  • Implement a recursive function to compute the nth Fibonacci number.
  • Solve the Tower of Hanoi problem using recursion.

8. Trees:

  • Create a binary search tree and implement functions for insertion, deletion, and searching.
  • Write a function to perform an in-order traversal of a binary tree.
  • Implement depth-first and breadth-first search algorithms for a binary tree.

9. Graphs:

  • Create an adjacency list representation of a graph and implement functions for adding vertices and edges.
  • Write a depth-first search (DFS) algorithm for a graph.
  • Implement a breadth-first search (BFS) algorithm for a graph.

10. Dynamic Programming:

  • Solve the Fibonacci sequence problem using dynamic programming.
  • Implement a function to find the longest common subsequence of two strings.
  • Solve the knapsack problem using dynamic programming.

These questions cover a range of basic DSA concepts and are a good starting point for practicing your JavaScript skills. As you become more comfortable with these, you can move on to more advanced DSA problems and concepts.
