Build Status

Because there is no life without coffee

Classic algorithms and data structures in CoffeeScript.

Can be used in either NodeJS (server-side JS) or in the Browser (client-side JS).

It uses Mocha as the Testing Framework, Chai as the Assertion Library and CoffeeLint as the Style Checker Library.

Algorithms implemented so far:

Data Structures:

  • Adjacency List
  • Adjacency Matrix
  • Binary Search Tree
  • Disjoint Set
  • Heap
  • Segment Tree

Graph:

  • Bellman-Ford
  • Breadth First Search
  • Cycle Detection
  • Depth First Search
  • Edmonds-Karp
  • Floyd-Warshall
  • Kosaraju
  • Kruskal

Math:

  • Euclidean Distance
  • Karatusba Multiplication
  • Knuth Shuffle
  • Next Permutation
  • Reservoir Sampling

Search:

  • Binary Search

Sorting:

  • Binary Tree Sort
  • Heap Sort
  • Insertion Sort
  • Merge Sort
  • Radix Sort
  • Selection Sort

String:

  • Edit Distance
  • Knuth-Morris-Pratt
  • Longest Common Subsequence
  • Karp-Rabin

Getting Started

Users

NodeJS

To use the library on a NodeJS project just install it with npm:

Globally:

npm -g install algorithms.coffee

or Locally in the project's directory:

npm install algorithms.coffee

And use the require to use the functions.

Example:

var myVariable = require('algorithms.coffee');
var sortedArray = myVariable.insertionSort([3, 1, 2]);

Browser

To use the library in standard client-side JavaScript just download the js file contained in the ./dist/ then include it like any other .js.

<script src="algorithms.coffee.js"></script>

Or the minified version

<script src="algorithms.coffee.min.js"></script>

All the library features are available through the global variable algCoffee.

var array = [10, 80, 300, 500, 11, 2, 333];
algCoffee.mergeSort(array);

var anotherArray = [30, 20, 1, 3, 99, 667];
var heap = new algCoffee.Heap(anotherArray);
heap.buildMaxHeap();

Contributors

We encourage everybody to contribute with this library. Just try and implement any classic algorithm in CoffeeScript or improve the ones that are already implemented.

Basic Requirements

You will need to have the following softwares installed on your computer:

  • NodeJS: version 0.10.0 or higher;
  • npm: latest version;
  • git: latest version;

Basic Steps to Contribute

On the terminal of your computer clone this repository in the directory where you want it to be:

git clone https://github.com/BrunoRB/algorithms.coffee.git

Install the necessary packages from which the library depends on:

npm install

and execute Grunt just to make sure everything is up and running:

grunt

From this point on you're good to go and contribute with the library. Just write your .coffee code in the appropriate directory in ./src and make sure to write the test code as well. Also, make sure to follow the Coding Style stated in coffeelint.json and the other default options of CoffeeLint.

Before you send a Pull Request, run grunt again to be sure that everything is OK.
