Description

Common algorithms & data structure implementation in Python.

I think, good way to learn language if you start implementing basic sorting algorithms, data structures in language you want to learn. I was brushing up my knowledge on these algorithms and felt what if i never have to leave the terminal (idle) to learn something and then i wrote this module.

I thank,

• Author of basic-sorting-algorithms-implemented-in-python blog post
• Interactivepython.org for superb course on Algorithms & data structures

So here are some of the basic algorithms, data structures and if i manage to finish both then i might add some common puzzles for e.g. pascals triangle

Purpose

Sole purpose of this module is for "educational" purpose and its intended to be used via "idle"

Design

1. I have used addon framework, which allows anyone can write these algorithms even user and load them from idle
2. Every addon must have below methods
   • execute : Wrapper around "logic" [Please see one of the addons to understand]
   • info : Information about the algorithm [As of now, its first para from Wiki and Big-O notations]
   • logic : Any Guesses? [You can have logic in sub modules]
   • info_online : Opens the default browser with link to Wiki article [No need to google]
   • show_code : Print source(logic) on idle console [Supports printing multiple methods]
   • _addon_ : Name of addons [if you are using addon_generator.py, this will be there]
3. Intended to be used via "Idle"
4. Use "Debug" mode in idle to understand more about the code [add debugger on "execute"]

Note

Please let me know if there is any issue with poor/wrong implementation of algorithms.
