Hacktoberfest DSA Repository

Introduction

This repository contains all the Implementations of famous and popular algorithm and their implementations fork to make a reference for yourself and contribute to increase the repository's codebase.

This DSA repository can also be used to contribute to Hacktoberfest which is a month-long celebration to encourage developers to use and contribute to open source projects. Continuing with the tradition to encourage first timers to contribute.

How can I Contribute?

This repository is for you to learn to contribute to open source projects. Write an implementation of your favorite algorithm from the issues section in the programming language of your choice and submit a pull request to this repository. For ideas, check out the issues page!

Issues page is for your reference. You are to submit implementation of your choice of algorithm in any programming language if you think it is also important to be there..

4. Clone the forked repository in the directory you just made

git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/<repo_name>.git

5. cd into the project repository and adding your implementation of your favorite algorithm in the programming language of your choice.

cd <repo_name>
cd Sorting
vim/subl/gedit/nano my-awesome-algorithm{.c/.cpp/.java/.py}

6. Commit your changes

git add my-awesome-algorithm{.c/.cpp/.java/.py}
git commit -m "Add an implementation of my awesome algorithm in {C,C++,Java,Python}"

Here are some guidelines on how to write a great commit message.

7. Push your commits
