A large open-source collection of algorithms and data structures implemented in C++17 for educational purposes, covering computer science, mathematics, statistics, machine learning, and physics. Each implementation is atomic, well-documented, and dependency-free, with Doxygen-generated documentation and CI testing on major platforms.

Use cases

• learn sorting and searching algorithms in C++
• prepare for coding interviews with algorithm implementations
• study data structures with well-commented C++ code
• find reference implementations of machine learning algorithms
• teach computer science courses with example code
• compare different algorithm strategies for the same problem

When to choose

• you want readable, dependency-free C++ implementations to learn from
• you need educational reference code for algorithms or data structures
• you are preparing for interviews or competitive programming
• you want MIT-licensed algorithm snippets to adapt into projects

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade, performance-optimized algorithm library
• you want a package-manager-installable library with a stable API
• you need battle-tested numerical or ML libraries like Eigen or PyTorch
