Awesome! Having a GitHub repo to track your progress and solutions is a great idea. Here’s a creative, clean, and informative README for your repo, with a focus on your learning journey through data structures and algorithms in PHP and Golang:
Welcome to my Data Structures and Algorithms learning journey! 🚀 This repository contains solutions to daily challenges in both PHP and Golang. The goal is to improve problem-solving skills, explore different algorithms, and implement various data structures across two languages.
Each folder is organized by weeks, and inside each week, you’ll find solutions for daily challenges.
📂 week1/
📂 day1/
- reverse_string.php
- reverse_string.go
- merge_sorted_arrays.php
- merge_sorted_arrays.go
- README.md

Each week focuses on different concepts, gradually increasing in complexity to ensure a smooth, low-pressure learning curve.
- Week 1: Core Data Structures (Arrays, Strings, Linked Lists, Stacks, and Queues)
- Week 2: Sorting & Searching Algorithms
- Week 3: Recursion, Dynamic Programming, and Greedy Algorithms
- Week 4: Advanced Trees and Graph Algorithms
1. Reverse a String In-Place
- Problem: Write a function that reverses a string in-place, without using any additional space for another string.
- Solution:
- PHP Solution: Implemented with pointer swapping technique.
- Golang Solution: Done using byte slices, as Go strings are immutable.
2. Merge Two Sorted Arrays
- Problem: Merge two pre-sorted arrays into one sorted array.
- Solution:
- PHP Solution: Classic merge algorithm using while loops.
- Golang Solution: Efficient merging with Go slices.
- PHP:
php filename.php
- Golang:
go run filename.go
The main idea behind this repo is to document progress and build a code reference library for common problems in both PHP and Golang. As I move through various levels of complexity, I aim to compare implementations and note the differences between how these languages approach data structures and algorithms.
Feel free to explore, star 🌟 the repo, or suggest improvements. Let’s learn together!
