+## 💡 How to Contribute (Hacktoberfest Focus)
+
+This project is massive, so your best way to contribute for Hacktoberfest is to find a small, defined task:
+
+1.  **Look for Open Issues:** Check the repository's **Issues** page and filter by the labels **`good first issue`** or **`help wanted`**.
+2.  **Add a New Algorithm:** If you know a popular algorithm not yet implemented, you can write the Python code for it, ensuring it follows the style and includes tests as required in the **`CONTRIBUTING.md`**.
+3.  **Improve Documentation/Tests:** Add **doctests** or comprehensive unit tests for an existing algorithm file
