🚀 How to Contribute

Fork this repository to your GitHub account

Clone your fork to your local machine

git clone https://github.com/your-username/OpenSauce.git
cd OpenSauce

Choose a language folder you want to contribute to
Create your DSA implementation:
- Follow the naming conventions specified in each language's README
- Organize code by topic (arrays, trees, graphs, sorting, etc.)
- Include comments explaining your algorithm
- Add time and space complexity analysis
Create a new branch:
```
git checkout -b add-algorithm-name
```

Commit your changes:

git add .
git commit -m "Add [algorithm-name] in [language]"

Push to your fork:
```
git push origin add-algorithm-name
```

📋 Contribution Guidelines

What to Contribute

✅ Data structure implementations (arrays, linked lists, trees, graphs, etc.)
✅ Algorithm implementations (sorting, searching, dynamic programming, etc.)
✅ Well-documented code with complexity analysis
✅ Test cases or example usage

Code Quality

Include clear comments explaining the logic
Add time and space complexity in comments
Follow the coding conventions of the language
Provide example usage or test cases
Use meaningful variable and function names

What NOT to Contribute

❌ Duplicate implementations (check existing code first)
❌ Poorly documented code
❌ Copied code without understanding
❌ Unrelated files or spam

🏷️ Topics to Contribute

Each language folder supports the following topics:

Arrays - Array manipulation and problems
Linked Lists - Singly, doubly, circular linked lists
Stacks - Stack implementations and applications
Queues - Queue implementations and variations
Trees - Binary trees, BST, AVL, heaps, tries
Graphs - Graph representations and algorithms (BFS, DFS, Dijkstra, etc.)
Sorting - Bubble, merge, quick, heap sort, etc.
Searching - Binary search, linear search, etc.
Dynamic Programming - DP problems and solutions
Greedy Algorithms - Greedy approach problems
Backtracking - Backtracking problems
Mathematics - Number theory, GCD, prime numbers, etc.
Strings - String manipulation and algorithms
