This PR transforms the basic repository into a complete educational resource for data structures and algorithms. The repository now serves as a comprehensive tutorial with working implementations, detailed explanations, and practical examples.

What's New

📊 Data Structures (6 implementations)

  • Arrays: Dynamic array operations with insertion, deletion, and search
  • Linked Lists: Singly linked list with position-based operations
  • Stacks: LIFO operations with practical balanced parentheses checker
  • Queues: Both regular and circular queue implementations
  • Binary Search Trees: Complete BST with all traversal methods
  • Hash Tables: Hash map with collision handling via separate chaining

🚀 Algorithms (13 implementations)

Sorting: Bubble, Selection, Insertion, Merge, Quick, and Heap sort with performance comparisons

Searching: Linear, Binary, Jump, Interpolation, Exponential, Ternary, and Fibonacci search algorithms

📚 Educational Features

Each implementation includes:

  • Time/Space Complexity Analysis with Big O notation
  • Detailed documentation explaining when and why to use each structure/algorithm
  • Working examples with sample inputs and expected outputs
  • Practical applications demonstrating real-world usage scenarios

🎯 Key Features

  • Beginner-friendly: Clear explanations suitable for learning
  • Interview-ready: Covers most common data structures and algorithms asked in technical interviews
  • Production-quality: Clean, well-documented code with proper error handling
  • Testable: All implementations include working examples and can be run directly
  • Comparative: Performance analysis helps understand trade-offs between different approaches

The repository is now ready to serve students, professionals preparing for interviews, and anyone looking to understand fundamental computer science concepts through practical implementations.

Example Usage

# Quick demonstration of key features
from data_structures.stacks.stack import balanced_parentheses
from algorithms.sorting.sorting_algorithms import quick_sort
from data_structures.trees.binary_search_tree import BinarySearchTree

# Check balanced parentheses
print(balanced_parentheses("((()))"))  # True

# Sort an array
print(quick_sort([64, 34, 25, 12, 22, 11, 90]))  # [11, 12, 22, 25, 34, 64, 90]

# Use a binary search tree
bst = BinarySearchTree()
for val in [50, 30, 70, 20, 40]:
    bst.insert(val)
print(bst.inorder_traversal())  # [20, 30, 40, 50, 70] - sorted order

All implementations are thoroughly tested and ready for educational and practical use.
