Hands-On Data Structures and Algorithms with JavaScript

Running benchmark tests

Before we run the benchmark, it is important to understand our intention of comparing our queue with native arrays. We are not trying to prove that the queue is faster than arrays and that's why we should be using them. At the same time, we do not want to use something, that is ridiculously slow. The goal of these tests is to help us understand where queues lie with respect to native data structures and whether we can rely on them to provide a performant custom data structure if needed.

Now, let's run some benchmark tests to compare a circular dequeue and an array. We will use benchmark.js to set up and run our benchmark tests. The setup is pretty straightforward; we will be comparing the circular dequeue API with ...
