# Algoesup
This small library was written to support the writing of
[algorithmic essays](https://dsa-ou.github.io/algoesup),
but can be used independently of that purpose.
The library provides auxiliary functions that make it easier to:
- write unit tests for functions
- measure and plot run-times for best, average and worst case inputs
- use linters and type checkers within Jupyter Notebook environments.
Guidance on how to use the library is [here](https://dsa-ou.github.io/algoesup/coding/).
To install in the global Python environment, open a terminal or PowerShell, and enter
```bash
pip install algoesup
```
To install in a virtual environment, activate it before entering the command above.
The library supports the [ruff](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff) and
[allowed](https://dsa-ou.github.io/allowed) linters, and the
[pytype](https://google.github.io/pytype) type checker.
You have to install them explicitly if you want to use them from within a notebook:
```bash
pip install ruff allowed pytype
```
Note that `pytype` is not available for Windows.
