Welcome to the Hacktoberfest 2024 Python Problem Solving repository! This is your chance to dive into open-source, contribute to a growing library of basic Python problems, and hone your programming skills.
Whether you're a seasoned Pythonista or just getting started, this repository is the perfect place to contribute and collaborate during Hacktoberfest 2024.
This repository is dedicated to gathering basic Python problems and solutions. We aim to create a comprehensive collection of exercises that beginners and intermediate developers can use for practice. It covers everything from simple loops to more complex algorithmic challenges, helping developers sharpen their problem-solving skills.
- Learn: Expand your Python knowledge and improve your coding skills.
- Collaborate: Work alongside other open-source enthusiasts and programmers.
- Celebrate: Be part of Hacktoberfest 2024, earn cool swag, and gain experience contributing to real projects.
We are looking for basic to intermediate level Python problems, including but not limited to:
- Basic Syntax: Loops, conditionals, functions, etc.
- Data Structures: Lists, dictionaries, sets, tuples, etc.
- String Manipulation: Common string operations, reversing, palindrome checks, etc.
- Recursion: Factorials, Fibonacci sequences, etc.
- Sorting and Searching: Implementations of common algorithms.
- Mathematical Problems: Prime numbers, GCD, LCM, etc.
- Miscellaneous: Other interesting Python challenges that help developers learn and grow.
Feel free to contribute problems in any of the above categories or propose your own.
We welcome contributions from everyone! Whether you're adding a new problem, optimizing existing solutions, or improving the documentation, your contributions are valuable.
