Research direction

Choose one problem, then save its solution in three languages under solutions/<language>/practice<n>.<ext> using the same header. Read the repository's existing solution files first to match their format; add a short COMPARE.md or a comment about differences you noticed. Done when all three solutions and the comparison are included in a pull request.

Description

1-hour algorithm all-levels any-language codewars hackerrank hacktoberfest help wanted interview-prep learning leetcode medium open-source students

The goal of this repo is to let people compare the same solution across languages. Here is a challenge that does exactly that.

Time: about an hour
Skills: comfortable in at least two languages

What to do
  • Pick one problem
  • Solve it in three languages, for example Python, JavaScript, and Go
  • Save each as solutions/<language>/practice<n>.<ext> with the same header
  • Add a short COMPARE.md or a comment noting what felt different (syntax, built-ins, performance)

Honest opinions are welcome. They do not need to be polished.


Who can take this

Anyone. Beginners, experienced developers, students, and people who do not code. Any language, any level. If you want to help, you are welcome here.
