Hacktoberfest 2019 - CodeVu

Get started with the open-source world and win swag for your contributions from DigitalOcean and DEV.

Introduction

This web app is a crowd-sourced comprehensive list and implementation of common coding problems as well as data structures & algorithms. The app considers the files in the problems and DSA folders to generate the content for the website. The webapp is under construction at the moment.

About Hacktoberfest

Hacktoberfest is a month-long event spanning the whole of October where you, as a beginner to the open-source world, contribute to projects. Open-source is a great place to learn how to build software, see veteran developers in action, and see your own code in action on a global platform. Hacktoberfest seeks to help beginners dive into the world of open-source by making 4 simple pull requests (for 2019) and receiving a T-shirt as well as stickers on their successful completion.

Note that as of 2019, Hacktoberfest DOES NOT consider census repositories valid - that is, repos where you just add your name and profile as a pull request are no longer valid to participate in Hacktoberfest.

Contributing

Contribute to the code

You are expected to either come up with the code to the problems in the problems folder AND/OR add your code for your own Data Structures and Algorithms problem in the DSA folder.

Here are some rules to be followed:

1. Make sure your code actually works
2. Format and indent your code properly
3. Maintain the directory structure
4. Use exactly one PR for exactly one problem/data structure/algorithm
5. Document your code along with the expected space- and time-complexities

Directory structure

For problems: <problems>/<name_of_problem>/<language>/<file>

For data structures: <DSA>/<data_structures>/<name_of_ds>/<language>/<file>

For algorithms: <DSA>/<algorithms>/<name_of_algo>/<language>/<file>

Languages

You are free to use any language you want as long as you follow the above rules and maintain the spirit of contributing to open-source development.
