You can use this repository to explore and run algorithms locally on your system.
###1️⃣ Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Python.git
cd Python
### 2️⃣Run an algorithm example
Pick any algorithm and run it using Python.
For example, to execute the binary search algorithm:
python3 searches/binary_search.py
###3️⃣ Using Python interactively
You can also open an interactive shell:
python3
>>> from data_structures.binary_tree import splay_tree
>>> tree = splay_tree.SplayTree()
>>> tree.search(10)
###To verify that all doctests in a file pass:
python3 -m doctest -v data_structures/binary_tree/splay_tree.py

## 🧠 Why This Works
✔️ Follows their Markdown and emoji style (`## 📜`, `## 🧩`)
✔️ Gives clear instructions for beginners
✔️ Matches issue #13714 (“Add Usage Example section to README”)
✔️ Maintains the tone and layout of the official README

## 🚀 How to Commit and Push
Once you add that section at the bottom of the README:
```bash
git add README.md
git commit -m "Added 'Usage Example' section to README (fixes #13714)"
git push origin splaytree-v3
