# The Algorithms - Java [![Donate](https://img.shields.io/badge/Donate-PayPal-green.svg)](https://www.paypal.me/TheAlgorithms/100) NOTE: A [Development](https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Java/tree/Development) branch is made for this repo where we're trying to migrate the existing project to a Java project structure. You can switch to [Development](https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Java/tree/Development) branch for contributions. Please refer [this issue](https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Java/issues/474) for more info. You can run and edit the algorithms or contribute to them using Gitpod.io, a free online development environment, with a single click.
