🚀 How to Get Started?

Step 1: Fork the Repository

Visit our repository: DSA_Code

Step 2: Choose Your Language

We support any programming language! Just follow our structure:

Language/Topic/YourImplementation.extension

Step 3: Pick a Contribution Type

🔹 For Beginners:

Implement basic sorting algorithms (Bubble Sort, Selection Sort)
Add simple data structures (Stack, Queue, Linked List)
Create basic search algorithms (Linear Search, Binary Search)

🔹 For Intermediate:

Advanced algorithms (Dijkstra's, A*, Dynamic Programming)
Complex data structures (Trees, Graphs, Heaps)
Algorithm optimizations and variations

🔹 For Advanced:

New language support with complete folder structure
Complex algorithmic problems and solutions
Performance optimizations and analysis

Step 4: Follow Our Guidelines

📝 File Naming Conventions:

C/C++/Python: snake_case.extension
Java: PascalCase.java
JavaScript: camelCase.js

📋 What to Include:

// Example for C++
/**
 * Algorithm: Binary Search
 * Time Complexity: O(log n)
 * Space Complexity: O(1)
 * Author: YourName
 */

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

class BinarySearch {
public:
    int search(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
        // Your implementation here
    }
};
