DSAlgoPatterns - DSA Pattern-Based Learning Repository

Welcome to DSAlgoPatterns, a structured collection of Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) problems designed to help you build problem-solving intuition across C++, Python, and Java.

Each topic follows a pattern-based approach, ensuring you recognize and apply solutions effectively. Every problem includes:

• Solutions in C++, Python, and Java
• An explanation (.md file) for clarity
• Key concepts and approaches
• Real-world analogy

This repository is built to be a self-sustained learning resource, whether you're preparing for coding interviews, competitive programming, or improving problem-solving skills.

🛠 How to Use This Repository

1. Pick a pattern-based topic from the Topics Covered section.
2. Read the theory (if available) before solving problems.
3. Solve problems in your preferred language (C++, Python, Java).
4. Refer to the explanation (.md file) if needed.
5. Compare implementations across languages to recognize common patterns.
6. Revisit problems periodically for retention.

(⚡ More topics will be added as we progress!)

📑 Language-Specific Notes

Language	Key Considerations
C++	STL (vector, set, unordered_map, priority_queue) is useful. Efficient memory management is key.
Python	List comprehensions, collections module, and heapq simplify solutions. Python's recursion depth needs handling.
Java	Uses ArrayList, HashMap, and PriorityQueue. Extra attention to handling large numbers and recursion stack size.

Tip: If you're learning all three languages, compare implementations to spot similarities and differences!

📈 Future Scope & Contributions
