What is it?

This repository is part of TheAlgorithms organization and collects implementations of common algorithms and data structures written in Go. Code is grouped into packages such as sorting, searching, graph algorithms, dynamic programming, math, string processing, ciphers, compression, and data structures like linked lists, heaps, hash maps, deques, and caches.

Each package is meant as an educational reference: functions carry doc comments that explain the approach, complexity, and sometimes links to background material. The project is MIT licensed and accepts community contributions under its contribution guidelines.

It is most useful for developers who want to see how a given algorithm looks in idiomatic Go, or who are working through algorithm questions and want a reference implementation to compare against.

Key features

  • 01Covers sorting, searching, graph, and dynamic programming algorithms
  • 02Includes data structures such as linked lists, heaps, hash maps, deques, and LRU/LFU caches
  • 03Provides math, string, cipher, and compression implementations
  • 04Functions include doc comments describing approach and complexity

Use cases

  • Studying how classic algorithms are written idiomatically in Go
  • Preparing for technical interviews with reference implementations
  • Comparing your own solutions against a known implementation

Things to know

  • The README describes the implementations as educational, so they are not presented as production-ready libraries.
