The universe of algorithm and data structures - OpenGenus Cosmos

Cosmos is your personal offline collection of every algorithm and data structure one will ever encounter and use in a lifetime. This provides solutions in various languages spanning C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Swift, Python, Go and others.

This work is maintained by a community of hundreds of people and is a massive collaborative effort to bring the readily available coding knowledge offline.

Many coders ask me how to improve their own performances. I cannot say anything except "solve and review and prepare your library" - Uwi Tenpen

Make your fundamentals in Algorithms and Data Structure with these free resources:

Cosmic Structure

Following is the high-level structure of cosmos:

Each type has several hundreds of problems with solutions in several languages spanning C, C++, Java, Python, Go and others.

Maintainers

This is a massive collaboration. Hence, to keep the quality intact and drive the vision in the proper direction, we have maintainers.

Maintainers are your friends forever. They are vastly different from moderators.

Currently, we have 5 active maintainers and we are expanding quickly.

The task of maintainers is to review pull requests, suggest further quality additions and keep the work up to date with the current state of the world. 🌍

Contributors

The success of our vision to bring knowledge offline depends on you. Even a small contribution helps. All forms of contributions are highly welcomed and valued.

Currently, we have over 1000+ contributors in Cosmos and over 2K+ contributors in sister projects of Cosmos.

When you contribute, your name with a link (if available) is added to our contributors list.

You can contribute by writing code, documentation in the form of installation guides and style guides, making Cosmos search friendly and many others. There are endless possibilities.

Additionally, you might want to take a look at this contributing guidelines before you make Cosmos better.

You may, also, refer to the available style guides before contributing code.

What is this?Cosmos is OpenGenus's offline collection of algorithms and data structures — a contributor-driven code dataset with solutions in many languages, used in the Quark Search Engine, OpenGenus IQ and OpenGenus Visual Project.
Is it a library I import into my code, or more of a reference collection?It is a code dataset, not a package you install: a browsable offline collection of algorithm implementations that you study and copy into your own projects.
There's no install step, so where should a beginner actually start?Just clone or browse the repository on GitHub — nothing to build. The README points beginners to its free problem sets: 50+ Linked List, 50+ Array, 50+ Binary Tree and 100+ Dynamic Programming problems.
Does it really work as an offline resource?Yes — that is the entire point: Cosmos exists to make coding knowledge available offline, so you can keep the whole collection locally and use it without internet access.
Can I freely use this code in my own projects?The code is under GNU GPL v3.0, a copyleft license, so you can use and improve it freely but derived work must stay under the same license.
What is Cosmos used for in practice?It serves as the underlying code dataset for the Quark Search Engine, OpenGenus IQ and the OpenGenus Visual Project — real products built on top of this collection.
How do I add my own algorithm to it?Open a pull request following the project's contributing guidelines and style guides. Active maintainers review every PR, and your name with a link is added to the contributors list.
Why collect algorithms offline at all?The author's advice to coders is to 'solve and review and prepare your library' — Cosmos is that prepared library, keeping every algorithm and data structure you may ever need available without a connection.
