Summary

This PR introduces a major contribution to the "IntroductionToAlgorithms" project by addressing critical bugs, adding support for multiple programming languages (C++ and Java), enhancing documentation, and implementing several new algorithms.

Key Contributions

  1. Bug Fixes and Code Improvements

    • Fixed index error in BinarySearch.py caused by float division, replaced with integer division //.
    • Improved base-case handling in StrassenAlgorithm.py to optimize performance.
    • Unified code style by updating Python 2 print statements to Python 3 print() functions.
  2. New Algorithms Added

    • MiddleSelect.py: Deterministic median selection using Median of Medians.
    • RandomizedSelect.py: Efficient randomized selection algorithm.
    • OpenAddressingHash.py: Implemented linear probing hash table.
  3. Multi-language Support

    • Translated core algorithms to C++ and Java, including QuickSort, MergeSort, and BinarySearch.
    • Maintained logical consistency and added detailed comments for each language version.
  4. Documentation and Testing

    • Created README.md, README.md, and CHANGELOG.md to improve project accessibility.
    • Added time complexity analysis, usage examples, and algorithm explanations.

Notes

  • All contributions were made following GitHub best practices (forking, feature branches, commit history, and PR formatting).
  • Although some pull requests are pending review, we remain active and ready to iterate based on feedback.
  • This PR aims to make the project more robust, accessible, and educational for a wider developer audience.

We hope these improvements can bring long-term value to the project and the open-source learning community.
