Algoruby is a must-have toolbelt for tackling day-to-day Ruby on Rails scenarios with minimum stress and maximum performance. It provides ready-to-use, production-grade algorithmic patterns — including Two Sum, K-Sum, Sliding Window, Binary Search, and more — all designed to simplify complex tasks and boost developer productivity.
run bin/console to experiment.
Features
* Array & Hashing Patterns: Two Sum, Two Sum Closest, Group Anagrams.
* Sliding Window: Rolling sums, maximums, substring problems.
* Binary Search: Works with numbers, strings, times, and custom objects.
* Dynamic Programming: Maximum Subarray (Kadane's Algorithm).
* Generalized Solutions: K-Sum, Exclude Aggregator, and more.

Binary Search
Algoruby::BinarySearch.call(["Trane", "Bird", "Dizz", "Bud", "Monk" ], "Dizz")
#=> 2
arr = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
Algoruby::BinarySearch.first_greater(arr, 5)
# => 3 (arr[3] == 7)
Algoruby::BinarySearch.last_less_or_equal(arr, 5)
# => 2 (arr[2] == 5)events = [:create, :notify, :update, :foo, :bar, :update, :create, :notify]
pattern = [:create, :update, :notify]
Algoruby::AnagramScan.indices(events, pattern)
# => [0, 5]
haystack = %w[A b C a B c]
needle = %w[a b c]
Algoruby::AnagramScan.indices(haystack, needle, key: ->(ch) { ch.downcase })
# => [0, 1, 2, 3]
people = [{ age: 30 }, { age: 25 }, { age: 33 }, { age: 29 }]
Algoruby::SlidingWindow.max(people, 2, by: ->(p) { p[:age] })
# => [{ age: 30 }, { age: 33 }, { age: 33 }]
people = [{ age: 30 }, { age: 25 }, { age: 33 }, { age: 29 }]
Algoruby::SlidingWindow.min(people, 2, by: ->(p) { p[:age] })
# => [{ age: 25 }, { age: 25 }, { age: 29 }]Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/amitleshed/algoruby. This project is intended to be a safe, welcoming space for collaboration, and contributors are expected to adhere to the code of conduct.
