A collection of classical algorithms and data structures implemented in C++, with one header file per algorithm plus a demo program. It targets Linux/gcc and serves as both a reference implementation and a learning resource.

Use cases

• learn how classic sorting algorithms are implemented in C++
• find a header-only skip list or fibonacci heap implementation
• study data structures like binary search trees and bit sets
• reference implementations of Miller-Rabin primality testing
• grab a single-header algorithm to adapt into a C++ project

When to choose

• you want readable, per-algorithm header files with demos for learning or reference
• you need a small standalone data structure without pulling in a large library
• you are on Linux with gcc and want minimal dependencies

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade, heavily optimized algorithm library like Boost or the C++ standard library
• you need cross-platform support beyond Linux/gcc
• you need actively maintained, tested guarantees for critical systems
