🎯 Interactive Menu

The project uses a console menu to navigate through algorithms:

Main Menu

1 - Searching
2 - Sorting
0 - Exit

Searching Menu

1 - Binary Search
2 - Nested Box Search (Recursive & Iterative)
0 - Back to menu

Sorting Menu

1 - Selection Sort
0 - Back to menu

Invalid inputs are handled gracefully, prompting the user to choose a valid option.

🚀 How to Run

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/dev-LBAM/algorithms-csharp.git
cd algorithms-csharp

2. Open the project in Visual Studio or VS Code.

3. Build and run the project:

dotnet run --project algorithmscsharp

➕ How to Add New Algorithms

1. Create a new .cs file inside the appropriate folder (Searching, Sorting, etc...).

2. Implement your algorithm as a static class with a Run() method.

3. Import the new algorithm in Program.cs: Use using AlgorithmsCSharp.Algorithms.<YourFolder>; to import the algorithm.

4. Add it to the corresponding menu inside ShowSearchingMenu() or ShowSortingMenu().

📚 Learning Goals

• Understand fundamental algorithmic concepts such as time and space complexity.

• Implement classic algorithms in C#, including:

  • Recursion
  • Linear and binary search
  • Sorting (bubble sort, merge sort, quicksort, etc.)

• Develop problem-solving skills and logical thinking applied to programming.

• Understand when and why to use each algorithm, comparing efficiency and applicability.
