What is it?

This repository collects implementations of a broad range of algorithms and data structures written in Rust. It is part of The Algorithms project, a community effort that maintains educational implementations of algorithms across many programming languages.

The code is organized by topic so readers can browse by category and find a specific implementation quickly. A generated directory file provides an overview of everything included. Contributors are asked to follow the project's contribution guidelines when adding new implementations.

Because the goal is teaching, the focus is on readable, self-contained code rather than production libraries. It is a useful reference for developers learning Rust who want to see common algorithms expressed idiomatically.
