1. Hacktoberfest Dates:

   • Your Pull/Merge Requests (PR/MRs) must be created between October 1 and October 31 (in any time zone).
   • Contributions made to this repository must follow Hacktoberfest rules and be submitted to public, unarchived repositories.

2. Quality Over Quantity:

   • No Spam: Submitting spammy PR/MRs will disqualify you. Keep your contributions meaningful, and avoid low-quality fixes like minor grammar updates unless they add real value.
   • PR/MRs should not be marked with labels containing the word “spam” or “invalid.” However, contributions labeled with “hacktoberfest-accepted” will be considered valid, even if they are not merged immediately.

3. Repository Participation:

   • This repository is participating in Hacktoberfest, so feel free to contribute!
   • Ensure that your PR/MR is either merged, has an overall approving review, or receives the “hacktoberfest-accepted” label to count toward your Hacktoberfest progress.

4. Review Period:

   • Once your PR/MR is created and passing checks, it will go through a two-day review period. Make sure your submission remains compliant throughout this time.
   • Even if Hacktoberfest ends on October 31, PR/MRs still in the seven-day review period may continue into November.

5. Valid Contributions:

   • Ensure that your contribution adds good and optimized Solution. You must star ⭐ the repository first

• ⚠️ Duplicate programming questions will not be accepted.
• Must follow the file organization structure while adding your solutions.
• Star and Fork the Repository:
  • dsa_important_interview_questions Repository
• You must star ⭐ the repository first before contributing.

⭐ How to Keep Your Files Organized 📂

1. Name your files using the following format: <question_name>.<extension>. For example, if you solve "Two Sum" in Java, the file name should be TwoSum.java.

2. Include both the source code file and its compiled file or a snapshot of the program's successful run (e.g., TwoSum.class or a screenshot of the output).

3. Organize your files by placing them in the appropriate language folder (e.g., java, python). - Within the language folder, create a subfolder with your GitHub username (e.g., java/skanarul8002). - Place both your source code and additional files (e.g., compiled .class files or screenshots) in your created subfolder.

   Example Directory Structure:

     ```
        java/
            └── skanarul8002/
                     ├── TwoSum.java
                     ├── TwoSum.class or proof of runs
     ```
