A global open-source project where developers of all skill levels learn, code, and grow together — one algorithm at a time.
The Algorithms – Python is a learning-focused repository containing a variety of algorithms, data structures, and problem-solving approaches written in Python. It’s a community effort to make algorithm learning more approachable and hands-on.
💡 Whether you’re a beginner exploring your first pull request or an experienced developer refining your craft, this project welcomes you!
- Read the Contribution Guidelines — they’ll help you set up your local environment and understand our workflow.
- Pick an algorithm idea you’d like to implement or improve.
- Submit your pull request — every contribution matters, no matter how small.
🏆 Tip: Even fixing typos or improving documentation helps the project — and it counts toward open-source experience!
We believe everyone can contribute — here’s how you can get involved:
- 🧩 Add a new algorithm or data structure
- 🧠 Optimize or refactor an existing one
- 🧾 Improve documentation or code comments
- 🧪 Add test cases to increase reliability
- 🎨 Enhance visuals or examples for better understanding
Check the Issues tab — some are tagged with good first issue and are great starting points!
Want to go beyond code? Join our monthly Algorithm Challenges on Discord! Each month we pick a topic (e.g., Sorting, Graphs, Dynamic Programming) and contributors compete in a friendly way to improve or implement related algorithms.
🧭 Participation badges and GitHub shoutouts are awarded to active contributors!
Meet contributors, share knowledge, and learn collaboratively:
We’re building not just a codebase — but a learning community that helps each other grow.
Browse through the Directory for all algorithm implementations, organized by topic and complexity level. Each section includes beginner-friendly examples and explanations.
Every contributor is a valuable part of this project. We regularly feature top contributors and new members in our community newsletter.
💬 Join us → contribute, learn, and get recognized! You can also add yourself to the Contributors Wall once your PR is merged.
