Freecodecamp: Optional Advanced Data Structures lessons?

Created on 20 Jun 2018  ·  13Comments  ·  Source: freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp

Describe your problem and - if possible - how to reproduce it

In "Basic Data Structures: Modify an Array Stored in an Object" it mentions:

Additionally, the optional Advanced Data Structures lessons later in the curriculum also cover the ES6 Map and Set objects, both of which are similar to ordinary objects but provide some additional features.

I do not see those lessons anywhere. Is there an hidden module somewhere I don't know of?

Or is that text that is a legacy of the previous curriculum?

The "advanced" section would be those challenge located in the Data Structure Questions in the Coding Interview Prep section. @raisedadead I am thinking the easiest solution this is to rewrite the following sentence from:

Additionally, the optional Advanced Data Structures lessons later in the curriculum also cover the ES6 Map and Set objects, both of which are similar to ordinary objects but provide some additional features.

to something like:

Check under Coding Interview Prep (Thousands of hours of challenges)

perhaps the Data Structures title in there should be renamed to Advanced Data Structures

@moT01 I think that now with the new curriculum, this is fixed?

Yes. That should be fine.

I'll take this up.

@ruchika90 Go for it. No one else has asked for it.

I had the same question, so I came here,

So the answer is Advanced Data Structures located in Coding Interview Prep (Thousands of hours of challenges) > Data Structures , am I right ?

Why doesn't any admin/mod rewrite as RandellDawson said so no one has this question and come here again ?

Thanks

What exactly are you trying to do?

Same as OP, I cannot see the Advanced Data Structures lesson on FCC

They are not called Advanced Data Structures lessons. They are just called Data Structures and they are in the Coding Interview Prep section of the curriculum

I read completely this issues and got the answer, just ask why admin/mod doesn't change as you said, so no one will get confused like me or OP again,

@maxiqboy We decided to just modify the text of the Basic Data Structures: Modify an Array Stored in an Object challenge to the following:

Additionally, the Data Structures lessons located in the Coding Interview Prep section of the curriculum also cover the ES6 Map and Set objects, both of which are similar to ordinary objects but provide some additional features.

This was done to minimize the need to update several other sections. We feel it does not make any difference if it is renamed Advanced Data Structures or just remain Data Structures under the Coding Interview Prep section. We hope to have the changes made deployed to the production site very soon.
