Visualize Data Structures in VS Code 🤯
If you work with data structures, check out the Debug Visualizer extension for VS Code.
It lets you visualize your data while debugging so you can actually watch algorithms and data structures change as your code runs. In this example, see a linked list grow node by node and watch QuickSort move values into sorted order.
A great tool for learning data structures, understanding algorithms, and debugging complex code.
