Project Documentation

This project serves as a learning exercise to explore data structures and algorithms in Python and C languages, using problems from HackerRank and LeetCode.

Overview

The project is divided into two main parts: Python and C. Each part focuses on implementing solutions to various algorithmic challenges.

Python Programming Language

Setup

1. Create a Virtual Environment:

   First, initialize the virtual environment:

   python -m venv .venv

2. Activate the Virtual Environment:

   Activate the virtual environment:

   .venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install Dependencies:

   Install required dependencies using pip:

   py -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Running Tests with Pytest

To run the test cases for the Python part, use the following command at the root directory:

pytest -v -s tests_hr

This command executes pytest with verbose output (-v) and shows stdout output (-s).

C Programming Language

Setup and Compilation

1. Install Makefile on Windows: First install the Makefile for Windows from the following link: Makefile for Windows and add the bin directory to the system path.

   Later on you can check the version of MingW installed by running the following command:

   mingw-get --version

   Now we can proceed with the installation of the make utility:

   mingw-get install make

   Then, in the bin directory we rename the make executable with make.exe. Finally you can check the version of make installed by running the following command:

   make --version

2. Install GCC Compiler:

   Ensure that you have the GCC compiler installed on your system.

3. Compile C Programs:

   Compile your C code (replace main.c with your actual C source file if different):

   gcc main.c -o main
   main

   This command compiles the C source file main.c and creates an executable named main. The second command runs the compiled program.
