🐍 Python Starter Algorithms and CLI Applications

📘 Overview

A collection of Command Line Interface (CLI) applications developed to strengthen my Python fundamentals and algorithmic problem-solving skills as a 1st-year Computer Engineering student.

This repository reflects my journey of building algorithmic thinking through small yet practical CLI-based programs that focus on data structures, loops, conditionals, and functional programming.
