Welcome to the Algorithm Repository — a collaborative platform for algorithmic learning and problem solving in C++, Java, and Python.

This repository is designed to be Hacktoberfest friendly 🎃 and open for contributions from programmers around the world.

Each branch represents a programming language:

⚠️ All commits and PRs must be made to the branch corresponding to the language you are contributing in.
💡 If the language branch does not exist yet, create a new branch with the name of that language and add your solution there.

You can contribute in two main ways:

• Add solutions for problems from:
  • LeetCode
  • GeeksforGeeks
  • CodeChef
• Each solution should include:
  • The problem statement or link
  • A clear explanation of your approach (AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini are allowed for explanation)
  • Properly formatted and commented code

• Add algorithms in the algo/ folder with:
  • Clear explanation
  • Code implementation
  • Time & space complexity analysis

1. Fork the repository
2. Clone your fork locally:

git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/Algo.git
Checkout to the correct language branch or create one if it doesn’t exist:
bash
Copy code
git checkout cpp # or java / python
# OR create new branch for other language
git checkout -b <language-name>
Add your code in the appropriate folder
Commit changes:
bash
Copy code
git add .
git commit -m "Added [ProblemName] solution in [Language] with explanation"
Push your branch:
bash
Copy code
git push origin <branch-name>
Create a Pull Request (PR):
Base branch → the corresponding language branch
Provide a clear PR title and description
Include problem link and summary of explanation
✅ PR Acceptance Criteria
PRs will be merged if:
Code belongs to the correct language branch
Code is well-documented and formatted
Explanation is clear and thorough
Commit messages and PR title are meaningful
No plagiarism or spam
💡 Solutions may use AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) for explanations, but code must be original and clear.
