2025-09 monthly summary for upesacm/100DaysOfCode-2025. Delivered a broad, production-ready suite of data-structure and algorithm modules spanning BSTs, graphs, and dynamic programming, with an emphasis on business value, scalability, and maintainability. Key outcomes include robust BST core operations with range-sum and balance checks; advanced BST features (LCA, delete, kth smallest); traversal and persistence (vertical order, serialization/deserialization); a comprehensive graph toolkit (BFS/DFS traversals, connected components, cycle detection via DFS/Union-Find, shortest paths with BFS/Dijkstra/Bellman-Ford); MST and SCC support (Kruskal/Prim, Kosaraju); Hamiltonian/Eulerian paths and Word Ladder; topological sort utilities; and a broad DP library covering classic problems (Fibonacci, climbing stairs, House Robber, max subarray, coin change, LIS, LCS, edit distance, 0/1 Knapsack, Subset Sum, Partition, palindrome partitioning, etc.). Also modularized Knapsack and LCS implementations to improve maintainability. These efforts enable faster, reliable problem solving and optimization workflows across backend analytics, graph processes, and optimization tasks.

Major bugs fixed: - Debugging and stability improvements during feature integration across both repos. Scaffolding and cleanup commits reduced edge-case failures and improved reliability of utilities and test scripts. Examples include debugging-question scripts and multiple C implementations for stack problems. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Substantial enhancement of algorithmic utilities and DS problem-solving capabilities, enabling faster authoring of quizzes and more reliable educational content. Cross-language implementations broaden learning coverage and demonstrate practical application of algorithm design. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Python and C implementations, advanced sorting/searching algorithms, data structures (stacks and queues), debugging/testing, cross-repo collaboration, and code organization for educational content.
