🤖 Automated Workflows

• PR Validation: Ensures proper file naming and structure
• Multi-language Testing: Validates code across all supported languages
• Hacktoberfest Labeling: Automatic labeling and welcoming for contributors
• Contributors Recognition: Automatic updates to our Hall of Fame

🚀 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
    }
};
