Project Summary

This repository provides the Python code examples and high-resolution images from the book "Grokking Algorithms." It serves as a supplementary resource for readers to visualize and implement the algorithms discussed, aiding in understanding fundamental computer science concepts.

How It Works

The repository contains straightforward Python implementations of algorithms covered in the book, such as sorting, searching, graph traversal, and dynamic programming. The code is designed for clarity and educational purposes, prioritizing readability over complex optimizations. High-resolution images from the book are also included for non-commercial use.

Quick Start & Requirements

  • Install: No specific installation commands are provided, as the repository primarily contains code files. Users will need a Python interpreter (version not specified, but typically 3.x) to run the examples.
  • Prerequisites: A standard Python environment is sufficient. No external libraries are explicitly mentioned as required for basic execution.
  • Resources: Minimal resources are needed, primarily disk space for the repository files.

Highlighted Details

  • Contains all images from the book in high resolution.
  • Images are available for non-commercial use with attribution.
  • Focus on clear, readable code for educational purposes.
  • Welcomes contributions for error fixing, new language examples, and code modernization.

Maintenance & Community

The repository is maintained by the author of "Grokking Algorithms." Contributions are accepted via Pull Requests, though the author notes a significant delay in merging them. Direct email to the author is recommended for book-related questions or errata.

Licensing & Compatibility

The repository's code is likely subject to the book's licensing, which is not explicitly stated here. The images are explicitly available for non-commercial use with a specific attribution requirement. Compatibility for commercial use or closed-source linking is not detailed.

Limitations & Caveats

The repository is intended as a companion to the book and does not offer standalone functionality or advanced features. The author acknowledges slow response times for Pull Requests, indicating a potentially limited capacity for active development or rapid updates.
