Algorithms-1 — Course Assignments & Lab Tests

Project Overview:

• Purpose: Collection of C solutions for Algorithms course assignments and lab tests.
• Language: Primarily C source files (.c).
• Structure: Each assignment (A0..A7) and lab test has its own folder containing problem files.

Directory Structure

• A0 - PDS-Brushup/: brush-up problems and small practice exercises.
• A1 - Algorithm-Runtimes/: runtime/complexity problems and implementations.
• A2 - Recursion-DnC/: recursion and divide-and-conquer problems.
• A3 - Greedy-Algorithms/: greedy algorithm problems.
• A4 - Dynamic-Programming/: dynamic programming problems.
• A5 - Binary-Trees/: binary tree related exercises.
• A6 - Heap-Implementation/: heap data structure implementation.
• A7 - Graph-Algorithms/: graph algorithms and related problems.
• Lab-Test-1/: lab test 1 solutions.
• Lab-Test-2/: lab test 2 solutions.
• Slides/: course slides and supporting materials.

What you'll find in each assignment folder

• C source files: Implementations of the assigned problems. Filenames indicate assignment and question numbers.
• Multiple versions: Some problems include multiple solution versions (e.g., A0-Q2-v1.c and A0-Q2-v2.c) — these are alternative approaches or iterative attempts.
• Input files: Where present (e.g., input.txt in A0), they provide sample input for testing.

How to compile and run (macOS / zsh)

• Compile a single C file:

  gcc -o <output_name> <source_file.c>

  Example:

  gcc -o A0-Q1 A0\ -\ PDS-Brushup/A0-Q1.c

• Run an executable (optionally with redirected input):

  ./A0-Q1 < "A0 - PDS-Brushup/input.txt"

• Compile all .c files in a folder:

  gcc -std=c11 -O2 -Wall -Wextra -o program *.c
