Project Title

C-Plus-Plus — A Comprehensive Collection of C++ Algorithms for Educational Purposes

Overview

C-Plus-Plus is an open-source repository that offers a wide range of algorithm implementations in C++, covering topics from computer science, mathematics, and physics to machine learning. It stands out for its focus on educational value, providing well-documented code and multiple implementations of algorithms to showcase different strategies and optimizations.

Key Features

Extensive collection of algorithms in C++ for various domains
Well-documented source code with detailed explanations
No external libraries required, focusing on fundamental algorithm understanding
Continuous integration for compilation and testing across major operating systems
Adherence to C++17 standard for portability to embedded systems
Self-checks within programs for implementation correctness

Use Cases

Educators and students can use C-Plus-Plus as a learning resource for understanding algorithms and their implementations.
Developers can utilize the modular implementations in their own projects, benefiting from the open-source licensing.
Researchers in computer science, mathematics, and physics can find ready-to-use algorithm implementations for their studies.

Advantages

Provides a deep understanding of algorithms through multiple implementations and detailed documentation.
Facilitates learning and teaching of algorithms in a fundamental programming language like C++.
Ensures code portability and compatibility with modern compilers and embedded systems.

Limitations / Considerations

The project is primarily educational and may not include the most optimized or production-ready code.
The focus is on C++, which may not be the best choice for all applications, especially those requiring high-level abstractions or rapid development.

Project Euler: A collection of challenging mathematical and computational problems that require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Unlike C-Plus-Plus, it is problem-centric rather than algorithm-centric.
LeetCode: A platform for preparing technical interviews with a focus on algorithmic challenges. C-Plus-Plus provides implementations, while LeetCode offers a practice environment.
Rosetta Code: A programming chrestomathy site that presents solutions to the same task in different programming languages. C-Plus-Plus focuses solely on C++ implementations.
