dbc-algorithms

Welcome! This is the repo of the DBC Algorithms Study Group. This is a rather slap-dashed repo, so take from it or give to it what you will!

Contribution/Submission Guidelines

None of this forking stuff! Want to be a collaborator? Join the FB group and ping Hanah Yendler with your Github username!

If you want to create an exercise, interview question, or solution, check out a new branch off of master, do yo thang, and then submit a pull request and get TWO approvals from other collaborators.

Adding a new exercise? Totally okay to post from elsewhere, just make sure to credit the source in the readme! Exercise instructions should also be language free.

Note: You can't push to master, except for me (Hanah, repo owner) Mwuahahahaha. So you gotta check out a branch to get your changes in.

Have a partial algorithm solution, but are stuck and don't want to look at the answer just yet? Submit a pull request, tag a couple of co-conspirators, and ask for help! Edit, commit, and repush and explicity ask for review for a merge :)

Please only merge working solution code. K thx bai.

Directory organizational guidelines

• let's use underscores instead of spaces
• let's use lowercase instead of uppercase (good practice in general, as uppercase file/folder names can eff file paths up)
• let's have solutions be set up as:
  • simple_linked_list_exercise
    • hy_solution
      • hy_solution.js
      • hy_solution.spec.js
    • amf_solution
      • amf_solution.rb
      • amf_solution_test.rb
• write in whatever language you want (then maybe write a test in that language if it doesn't exist :P)

Testing

• testing can (IMHO is - Adam) be fun, useful, and really help to grasp how your solution is working
• each week someone will post example spec files in different languages for you to use and model in your own solutions
• you can add more examples to help in the process, and you'll want to edit them to match your naming
• solutions should be namespaced so as not to conflict with other solution
• see the TESTING.md with any question about how to implent, or reach out to the facebook group

Housekeeping

I can't manage this by myself, so I need your help to make this repo AWESOME. Also, TDD! Write tests for the exercises.

Have a guideline that should be on here? Make a pull request and tag @hyendler!
