Python Algorithms CookBook

[jrtechs]

I want to start collecting a bunch of python algorithms in this repository for reference in CS classes. I want differing implementations of each algorithm which demonstrates different methods and time complexities.

Here are a few ideas to get started:

• [x] Merge Sort
• [x] Bubble Sort
• [x] Selection Sort
• [x] Shell sort
• [x] Bucket Sort
• [ ] Heaps
• [x] Queue
• [x] Stack
• [x] Graphs
• [x] Dikstra
• [ ] A*
• [x] DFS
• [x] BFS
• [x] Binary Tree
• [x] Binary Search
• [x] Linear Search

Yes indeed !!

Hi I can work on Merge Sort, Stack, Queue, A*, Dijikstra, DFS and BFS I did also unit on python last semester so please let me know how can I contribute. Thanks

[jrtechs]

@sunny3p That would be great!

[sunnythepatel]

@jrtechs As I am still new to GitHub so how you want me to add this algos should I first make a branch and then add all algos or should I write all algos in master. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon

[sunnythepatel]

@jrtechs Could you please just explain me the steps to contribute I have wrote all algos just I need to upload it. Thanks

[jrtechs]

@sunny3p I should definitely update the README to explain how to contribute.

Esentially you need to do 4 things:

1. Fork this repo.
2. Checkout your fork. (clone it to your computer)
3. Make changes and commit them to your fork. (don't forget to push changes)
4. Hit the button that says "Submit Pull Request" on your forked repo.

Hopefully that gives you enough information to get started. @ me again in this issue if you have any other questions.

[sunnythepatel]

@jrtechs Thanks for the info

[sunnythepatel]

@jrtechs Hi I have added two algos first is merge sort without slicing and second is bubble sort

[jrtechs]

@sunny3p Great! I will review the pull request tomorrow :100:

[dafinoer]

i can work on Queue

[eveem]

I'll work on Stack

[jrtechs]

@eveem Thanks for working on this! If you need any more PR's for hactoberfest feel free to work on more.

[sunnythepatel]

Hi @jrtechs do you want me to work on Graphs or any algos?

[jrtechs]

@sunny3p If you want to do any algo that is not already in this repository go for it!

[sunnythepatel]

@jrtechs ok sure will start working on it

[sunnythepatel]

Hi @jrtechs I needed a help do you know any of your friends who work on iOS app dev and can make tutorials or any customise library which can be collected at a place for swift 4. So people can easily have a look for all library at a place

[jrtechs]

@sunny3p Hmm, I don't know anyone big into IOS development. However, that sounds like it would be a great thing to make.

[sunnythepatel]

Hi @jrtechs Thanks and if you meet someone do let him know about it. It will be a great help as it can help lot of iOS developers out there.

Hi, I'd be happy working on heapsort, graph data structures(?), dijkstra's algol, DFS and BFS.

Quick questions:

• is class-OOP style ok or keep it to functions + data structures?
• keep them as one PR or e.g. one per algol?

[jrtechs]

@Jammyjamjamman You can do one PR per algo. For the algorithms, you can do it either OO or functional.

Hi @jrtechs I am implementing Dijkstra's algorithm in python as part of hacktoberfest, hope you accept the pull request!

[nancyanand2807]

Hi @jrtechs I will work on BFS and DFS as I can see that is still not checked in your list. I am contributing also as a part of hactoberfest. Kindly review it.

[jrtechs]

@nancyanand2807 just reviewed. Thanks for contributing!
