TheAlgorithms/Java is a comprehensive collection of various algorithms and data structures implemented in Java. It serves as an educational resource for learning about algorithms and their implementations, as well as a reference for developers looking to understand or use specific algorithms in their projects.

Pros

• Extensive collection of algorithms covering various categories (sorting, searching, cryptography, etc.)
• Well-organized directory structure for easy navigation
• Implementations are generally clear and well-commented
• Active community with regular contributions and updates

Cons

• Some implementations may not be optimized for production use
• Lack of comprehensive documentation for each algorithm
• Inconsistent coding style across different contributions
• Some algorithms may be missing or incomplete

Code Examples

1. Binary Search implementation:

public class BinarySearch implements SearchAlgorithm {
    @Override
    public <T extends Comparable<T>> int find(T[] array, T key) {
        return search(array, key, 0, array.length - 1);
    }

    private <T extends Comparable<T>> int search(T[] array, T key, int left, int right) {
        if (right < left) return -1; // this means that the key not found

        // find median
        int median = (left + right) >>> 1;
        int comp = key.compareTo(array[median]);

        if (comp == 0) {
            return median;
        } else if (comp < 0) {
            return search(array, key, left, median - 1);
        } else {
            return search(array, key, median + 1, right);
        }
    }
}

2. Bubble Sort implementation:

public class BubbleSort implements SortAlgorithm {
    @Override
    public <T extends Comparable<T>> T[] sort(T[] array) {
        for (int i = 0, size = array.length; i < size - 1; ++i) {
            boolean swapped = false;
            for (int j = 0; j < size - 1 - i; ++j) {
                if (SortUtils.less(array[j + 1], array[j])) {
                    SortUtils.swap(array, j, j + 1);
                    swapped = true;
                }
            }
            if (!swapped) {
                break;
            }
        }
        return array;
    }
}

3. Fibonacci sequence calculation:

public class FibonacciRecursion {
    public static long fibonacci(int n) {
        if (n <= 1) {
            return n;
        }
        return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);
    }
}

Getting Started

To use algorithms from this repository:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Java.git
   

2. Navigate to the desired algorithm's directory.

3. Copy the Java file containing the algorithm implementation into your project.

4. Import the algorithm class in your code and use it:

   import com.thealgorithms.searches.BinarySearch;
   
   public class Main {
       public static void main(String[] args) {
           Integer[] array = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
           BinarySearch binarySearch = new BinarySearch();
           int result = binarySearch.find(array, 3);
           System.out.println("Element found at index: " + result);
       }
   }
   

Note: Make sure to adjust the import statement according to the package structure in your project.
