After contributing to TheAlgorithms, I realized many CP students visit this repository for learning resources. I've added two important algorithms that were missing:

  1. Mo's Algorithm - Square root decomposition for offline range queries(https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/dsa/mos-algorithm-query-square-root-decomposition-set-1-introduction/)(https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/7383)

    • Essential for competitive programming contests
    • O(n√n) time complexity for multiple range queries
    • Very common in Codeforces and other CP platforms
  2. DiceThrower - Recursive backtracking for dice combinations

    • Great example of recursion and backtracking
    • Helps students understand recursive problem-solving
    • Generates all possible dice roll combinations for target sum

Both algorithms include comprehensive test suites and follow all contribution guidelines. These will help students build stronger foundations in competitive programming.

  • I have read CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • This pull request is all my own work -- I have not plagiarized it.
  • All filenames are in PascalCase.
  • All functions and variable names follow Java naming conventions.
  • All new algorithms have a URL in their comments that points to Wikipedia or other similar explanations.
  • All new code is formatted with clang-format -i --style=file path/to/your/file.java

- Mo's Algorithm: Square root decomposition for offline range queries(Imp in CP)
- DiceThrower: Recursive backtracking for dice combinations(very imp)
- Both algorithms include comprehensive test suites
- Formatted with clang-format and i follow contribution guidelines

there was an dicethrow.java file but it mainly focuses on finding the number of ways to get sum x with n dice, each having m faces. but mine is is not a problem it gives recursive and backtracking approach.
Literally it is great to contribute in such a helpful website great work guys , please merge this work @alxkm .
Love from INDIA

@alxkm i have fixed partitionproblem.java file and also fixed Mos algorithm and Dicethrower which i had commited but got less patch coverage by codecov please merge this commit under hacktoberfest 2025
