Algorithms

I create this repository as part of my preparation to Coding Interviews in FAANG and other big companies.

The idea is to learn/practice skills of implementing well-known data structures and algorithms from scratch.

Note: We are not focusing much on supporting multiple data types in algorithms. This is not important part for Coding interviews and we are not building reusable library here.

Code in this repository represents a collection of Data Structures and algorithms from different sources:

• Gayle L. McDowell "Cracking Coding Interview"
• Robert Sedgewick, Kevin Wayne "Introduction to Algorithms, 3rd Edition" (CLRS for short)
• Thomas Cormen and others "Introduction to Algorithms, 3rd Edition"
• Leetcode
• DailyCodingTask
• other sources

RUN TESTS

When cloning Algorithms repository run . init_submodules to get all dependencies.
