Algorithm

This is a repository for collecting and sharing algorithms in various programming languages, including Python. Anyone is welcome to fork this repository and contribute their own algorithms.

Contributing

To contribute to this repository, please follow these steps:

1. Fork this repository.
2. Create a new branch for your contribution.
3. Implement your algorithm in your preferred programming language.
4. Add a README file to your branch that explains your algorithm and how to use it.
5. Submit a pull request to merge your changes into the main branch of this repository.

Using the algorithms

To use one of the algorithms in this repository, simply clone the repository and navigate to the directory containing the algorithm you want to use. Then, follow the instructions in the README file for that algorithm.

Make Sure to Maintain Proper Folder Structure

Example

Here is an example of a Python script for implementing a simple binary search algorithm:

def binary_search(array, target):
  """Performs a binary search on the given array to find the given target.

  Args:
    array: A sorted array of elements.
    target: The element to search for in the array.

  Returns:
    The index of the target element in the array, or -1 if the target is not found.
  """

  low = 0
  high = len(array) - 1

  while low <= high:
    mid = (low + high) // 2

    if array[mid] == target:
      return mid
    elif array[mid] < target:
      low = mid + 1
    else:
      high = mid - 1

  return -1


# Example usage:

array = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
target = 5

index = binary_search(array, target)

if index != -1:
  print(f"The target element {target} is found at index {index}.")
else:
  print(f"The target element {target} is not found in the array.")
