The Algorithms - Java

You can run and edit the algorithms, or contribute to them using Gitpod.io (a free online development environment) with a single click.

All algorithms are implemented in Java (for educational purposes)

These implementations are intended for learning purposes. As such, they may be less efficient than the Java standard library.

Local development & contributing

1. Clone & build ```bash git clone https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Java.git cd Java mvn test # or ./gradlew test if using Gradle ```

2. Troubleshooting & tips

• Ensure Java 11+ is installed (see pom.xml).
• If tests fail: try: mvn clean install.
• For large builds: use -DskipTests when building and run tests separately.
• Contributions: add Javadoc, follow package structure, add tests for new algorithms.

3. How to get started

• Look for issues labelled good first issue (once template is active).
• Fork → branch → PR as per templates above.
