Exercise generator for the course Introduction to Algorithms and Data Structures. Developed by students from the Technical University of Munich primarily for fellow students.
Some of the Exercises TUMGAD can generate:
- AVL-Trees
- (a,b)-Trees
- Binomial Heaps
- Dijkstra's Algorithm
- ...

TUMGAD is a tool for anyone wanting to learn about some the most famous Algorithms and Data Structures, though it was mainly developed for Students of the Technical University of Munich.
Furthermore, it was created using Lecture Resources of the TUM provided in the summer semester of 2019 as well as the Book Algorithms and Data Structures: The Basic Toolbox. Hence there may be different definitions in this project than you are used to.
Please be aware that this is still very much a work in progress.
In the source code of TUMGAD all the data structures and algorithms are already implemented, as well as a method that takes the products of these components and visualizes them using LaTeX, whereby the placeholders in the LaTeX templates will be replaced with the generated structures.
Easy example: The implementation for QuickSort generates a random array and converts it
to a string (simple enough) and then that string replaces the placeholder
For a complete example, you can look at these PDFs
For a detailed setup and usage guide, have a look at this.
You can generate exercises and their solutions by executing the main method in the src/Tumgad.java file. For this, the only prerequisite is a working version of pdflatex added to your PATH (However you can work around this by manually compiling docs/Exercises.tex and docs/Solutions.tex).
Please note: For now, the exercise generator is optimized for IDE, if you want to use it in your command line, you will likely have to make some small adjustments.
