[QUESTION] The Eligibility of Algorithm to check validity of Sri Lankan phone number #9435
Description
What would you like to share?
The algorithm in question: https://the-algorithms.com/algorithm/is-srilankan-phone-number
The repositories under the organisation The Algorithms are said to contain non-trivial algorithms of various sorts. However, the algorithm I present does not seem to have any major significance, and does not facilitate any learning for the user, for it has just a RegEx which you could use to detect whether a phone number is Sri Lankan or not. It is highly specific and I do not think it is a valid algorithm to be included in the repositories by what is stated in the documentation, yet why is it listed and added as an algorithm?
I'm opening this issue here because there is only a Python implementation for this, and none other, hence I felt this is a more appropriate place to open the issue.
(I sincerely apologise if my language sounds rude, English is not my first language, I do not mean any disrespect to anyone, it is simply an honest question which I had)
