Problems available: Solved -- 63 ; Newly Added -- 57

1. Code Style is added

2. 57 new problems are added in `Interview_Questions.md`. Solutions to be uploaded soon.

40+ Common code and interview problems solved in Python (it's growing...)

The core idea is not to utilize built-in functions or library and giving it a more logic-based approach, so that it can be language-friendly and not end up being another repository of "Python Tips and Tricks" .

How good is the code ?

It is well tested
Consistent formatting (using Black)
It can compile in its current state (and there are relatively no issues)

How much support is available?

FAQs (coming soon)
Documentation (coming soon)
