Certainly! Here's the updated README.md file with contributions, license, and acknowledgments sections added:
This C++ project is a collection of various data structures implementations, including linked lists, binary trees, and hash maps. Each data structure is implemented from scratch to provide a better understanding of their underlying concepts and operations.
-
Linked List
- Description: A singly linked list implementation with basic operations like insertion, deletion, and traversal.
- Source File:
linked_list.cpp
-
Binary Search Tree
- Description: A binary search tree (BST) implementation with operations like insertion, deletion, and search.
- Source File:
binary_search_tree.cpp
-
Hash Map
- Description: A hash map (unordered map) implementation using separate chaining for collision resolution.
- Source File:
hash_map.cpp
- Clone or download this repository to your local machine.
- Navigate to the project's root directory using the command line.
- Compile the C++ source files using your preferred C++ compiler (e.g., g++, clang++).
- Run the compiled executable to test the data structure implementations.
#include <iostream>
#include "linked_list.cpp"
int main() {
LinkedList<int> list;
list.insert(10);
list.insert(20);
list.insert(30);
list.display(); // Output: 10 -> 20 -> 30
list.remove(20);
list.display(); // Output: 10 -> 30
return 0;
}
Contributions are welcome! If you find any issues, have suggestions for improvement, or want to add more data structures, feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request. We appreciate the community's help in making this project even more comprehensive.
When contributing, please follow the existing code style and ensure that your changes are well-tested.
