## Description

Cosmos is a comprehensive collection of fundamental computational algorithms and data structures implemented in C++. It serves as an educational resource and reference library, providing structured source code examples for core computer science concepts including sorting, searching, graph theory, and dynamic programming.

The project is designed for modularity and ease of integration, utilizing a header-only distribution model that allows developers to incorporate specific algorithms without complex build dependencies. By employing template-based generic programming and namespace-scoped organization, the codebase ensures that logic remains portable, type-agnostic, and isolated from external dependencies.

The repository covers a broad range of computational techniques suitable for academic research, software engineering interview preparation, and the integration of reliable logic into larger software projects. All implementations adhere to modern language standards to maintain compatibility across various compilers and operating systems.
