+🚧 WIP. This repository is an English version translated from [azl397985856/leetcode](https://github.com/azl397985856/leetcode). Contribution is welcome!
 
-leetcode 题解，记录自己的 leetcode 解题之路。
+---
 
-本仓库目前分为四个部分：
+## Introduction
 
-- 第一个部分是 leetcode 经典题目的解析，包括思路，关键点和具体的代码实现。
+![leetcode.jpeg](./assets/leetcode.jpeg)
 
-- 第二部分是对于数据结构与算法的总结
+LeetCode Solutions: A Record of My Problem Solving Journey.
 
-- 第三部分是 anki 卡片， 将 leetcode 题目按照一定的方式记录在 anki 中，方便大家记忆。
+This repository will be divided into four parts for now:
 
-- 第四部分是计划， 这里会记录将来要加入到以上三个部分内容
+- The first part is the solutions to some classic problems on LeetCode, including the idea thinkings, key points and code implementations.
 
-> 只有熟练掌握基础的数据结构与算法，才能对复杂问题迎刃有余。
+- The second part is the summary of data structures and algorithms.
 
-## 食用指南
+- The third part is [Anki flashcards](https://apps.ankiweb.net) that record the LeetCode problems in a certain way so as to make it easier to remember.
 
-- 对于最近添加的部分， 后面会有 🆕 标注
-- 对于最近更新的部分， 后面会有 🖊 标注
-- 将来会在这里更新anki卡片
-- 这里有一份leetcode官方账号在知乎上给出的一个《互联网公司最常见的面试算法题有哪些？》的答案，我这里尽量去覆盖回答中的题目和知识点
-原文地址： https://www.zhihu.com/question/24964987/answer/586425979
+- The fourth part is future plans on content that would be introduced into the above parts.
 
-- 这里有一张互联网公司面试中经常考察的问题类型总结的思维导图，我们可以结合图片中的信息分析一下。
+> Only when having mastered the basic data structures and algorithms can you solve complex problems easily.

-其中算法，主要是以下几种：
+## Usage Instructions
+
+- For the parts that were added recently, there will be a 🆕 behind.
+- For the parts that were updated recently, there will be a 🖊 behind.
+- Here will be the place to update Anki Flashcards in the future as well.
+- Here is a mind mapping graph showing the summary of categorizations of problems that are questioned frequently in interviews. We could analyze according to the information in the graph.

-- 基础技巧：分治、二分、贪心
-- 排序算法：快速排序、归并排序、计数排序
-- 搜索算法：回溯、递归、深度优先遍历，广度优先遍历，二叉搜索树等
-- 图论：最短路径、最小生成树
-- 动态规划：背包问题、最长子序列

-数据结构，主要有如下几种：
+The algorithms mainly includes:
 
-- 数组与链表：单 / 双向链表
-- 栈与队列
-- 哈希表
-- 堆：最大堆 ／ 最小堆
-- 树与图：最近公共祖先、并查集
-- 字符串：前缀树（字典树） ／ 后缀树
+- Basic skills: Divide-and-Conquer; Binary; Greedy
+- Sorting algorithms: Quicksort; Merge Sort; Counting Sort
+- Searching algorithms: Backtracking; Recursion; Depth-First-Search (DFS); Breath-First-Search (BFS); Binary Search Tree; etc.
+- Graph theory: Shortest Path Problem; Minimal Spanning Tree
+- Dynamic Programming: Knapsack Problem; Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) Problem
 
+The data structures mainly includes:
 
+- Array and linked list: Singly/Doubly-Linked List
+- Stack and queue
+- Hash table
+- Heap: Min-Max Heap
+- Tree and Graph: Lowest Common Ancestor (LCA); Disjoint-Set
+- String: Prefix Tree (Trie); Suffix Tree
