+We appreciate any contribution, from fixing a grammatical mistake in a comment to implementing complex algorithms. Please read this section if you are contributing your work.
 
 Your contribution will be tested by our [automated testing on GitHub Actions](https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Python/actions) to save time and mental energy.  After you have submitted your pull request, you should see the GitHub Actions tests start to run at the bottom of your submission page. If those tests fail, then click on the ___details___ button to read through the GitHub Actions output to understand the failure.
