Data Structures and Algorithms Project

This project is a collection of various algorithms and data structures implemented in Java and Python.

Directory Structure

The project structure is organized as follows:

• src/main/java/com/akshayram/algorithms: Contains various algorithm implementations, including searching, sorting, and Dijkstra's algorithm.
• src/main/java/com/akshayram/basicprograms: Contains basic Java programs, such as hash generation and pattern printing.
• src/test/java/com/akshayram/leetcode: Includes test cases for your algorithms.
• .gitignore: Specifies which files and directories to ignore when pushing to a version control repository.
• README.md: The file you are currently reading, providing an overview of the project.
• pom.xml: The Maven project configuration file.

Feel free to explore and contribute to this project. You can add more data structures, algorithms, and test cases as needed.

Project Contents

1. Algorithms:

   • The algorithms package contains various algorithm implementations.
   • It covers topics like searching, sorting, and graph algorithms.
   • Explore these algorithms to understand their working and applications.

2. Basic Programs:

   • The basicprograms package contains simple Java programs.
   • These programs are designed to help you practice basic coding concepts.
   • Use these as a warm-up or for quick coding exercises.

3. Testing:

   • The test directory includes test cases for your algorithms and programs.
   • Write and run tests to ensure your code behaves as expected.
