Adafruit_CircuitPython_CircuitPlayground VS TheAlgorithms

First, a bit about me. My first experience with programming and electronics was in 2017. I spent a few of weeks trying to learn Python, and didn't get very far with it. While purchasing accessories for my first Raspberry Pi, I grabbed a Circuit Playground Express, having no idea what it was (I thought I could connect it to the Pi like a sensor, but that was not the case). It turns out the CPX is a stand-alone microcontroller. When I finally looked into what to do with it, I struggled for a bit before finding CircuitPython. Within a short period of time, I made an LED blink. Nothing I had done in trying to learn programming up to that point hooked me as much as that moment. It was the difference between manipulating data and manipulating the physical world. Within a month, I made my first library PR, and within 2 months, began working with Adafruit by publishing my first guide. Since then, I have become a Creative Engineer with Adafruit where, among many other things, I am a community leader, CircuitPython library project maintainer, software developer, hardware designer, and technical guide and library author.

3. TheAlgorithms/Python - For those interested in algorithms and data structures, this repository offers Python implementations for a wide range of algorithms. It's a great way to deepen understanding of algorithmic learning with Python. https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Python

Is it me or does it not seem very well thought out? Every example I've seen only has implementations in JavaScript and/or Python. I haven't seen any other languages nor a way to search by language. What a "string" means in one language can be completely different in another language. The primitive data types that the project assumes are not really supported across all programming languages.

Also if anyone hasn't already seen them, similar projects already exist and are more complete. E.g.

* https://rosettacode.org/

* https://programming-idioms.org/

* https://the-algorithms.com/

Not to mention LeetCode, CodeWars, Project Euler, Exercism can kinda serve the same role.

Hey Everyone, My name is Rachit Chawla and Its my first blog on dev.to. I am currently a student of Computer Programming and Analysis at Seneca College. Also I'm currently on my co-op term working as an Automation Developer at Ontario Public Service. In this role, I am currently working with PowerShell scripting and Microsoft Azure for automating every manual tasks to reduce workload and increase efficiency. This blog is a part of OSD600 course at Seneca College. I am taking this course as I am big fan of open source and always wanted to contribute in open source projects but I am unaware of proper documentation and standards used for open source contributions. I am hoping to learn all the required stuff by the end of this course and I aim to be one of the 15k contributors to Linux's repo by Linus Torvald. Open Source interests me because it gives developers the power to customise the application they want to use, also a chance to help others and improve their skills. I found https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Python interesting from the Monthly trending feed on Github as it has all the algorithms which help us improve time complexity and write better codes. I has about 1000 contributors which helped to code all the algorithms in Python which may help others for working or learning purposes. I myself was a student of Data Structures and Algorithms in Python Winter 2023 and hoping to even able to contribute to this repo itself, once I learn more about documentation & proper standards to be followed.

The Algorithms Contains many open source implementations of algorithms. Check it out.

If you want to see implementations of all possible traversal algorithms you can find it here.

The mother load of all algorithms in python is here. dfs/bfs in particular are in the graph section.

There is no one way to learn all these but here are some resources: 1. Gooking algorithms [https://edu.anarcho-copy.org/Algorithm/grokking-algorithms-illustrated-programmers-curious.pdf\] 2. Algorithms in all languages [https://the-algorithms.com/] 3. Node js best practices. [https://github.com/goldbergyoni/nodebestpractices] 4. Refactoring [https://refactoring.guru/] 5.

DSA basics

I would recommend The Algorithms, it comes with descriptions and examples in multiple programming languages.

There's also The Algorithms. Many implementations are unfortunately low quality. The Lua ones (disclaimer: I wrote them) should be fine however.
