Hacktoberfest 2021 (OpenGenus / Cosmos)

[AdiChat]

Welcome to Hacktoberfest 2021

We, strongly, suggest you to apply for your Internship Program and contribute to Hacktoberfest in parallel with help from our mentors.

---

To get started on your journey in Hacktoberfest 2021, follow these steps:

• Register at Hacktoberfest site.
• Fork Cosmos to get a local copy as your workspace
• Learn how to make a perfect pull request (guide)
• Make a basic contribution like improving existing implementations, simple bugs (like Cloning error on case-insensitive filesystems #5891) and more to get familiar with the flow
• Make 4 quality contributions (like implementing an algorithm/ problem). You can open a new issue mentioning the contribution you plan to make and open a pull request directly.

Some lists of algorithms to help you contribute:

• List of Array problems
• List of Linked List problems
• List of Binary Tree problems
• List of Graph Algorithms
• List of Dynamic Programming problems
• List of Data Structures

Some quality contributions:

• Implement new algorithms in language of your choice (Having strong implementation skills is useful)
• Write at OpenGenus IQ on a topic you are confident in or prepare questions on a given topic (Ability to explain ideas is important)
• Write at OpenGenus IQ on a new topic in the domain you are interested in (Approaching new topics correctly is the key to invention)
• Develop features for sister projects of Cosmos (challenging but interesting)

This helps you grow intellectually 🧠 and help you gain good opportunities. Search and ask our Interns how they have grown over the years.

To begin contributing, you shall get a quick overview of how Cosmos is used today. Cosmos is one of the most extensive code database and is used as:

• A datastore for various projects (such as Quark) for purposes such as offline searching
• Training ML models for applications such as identifying programming language
• Metadata for projects such as OpenGenus IQ, Falcon and several others
• Offline Learning resource by several contributors

hey hi,
What do I have to do to raise a pull request?
have to solve the above problem and submit the solution?

@Onkar-Birajdar You can browse through other open issues and contribute towards them or add an implementation of a new algorithm

You can raise a pull request with your contribution. This is the guide to raise a pull request 👍
