-This repository contains some useful algorithms and data structures. 
+### All algorithms implemented in C++ (for education)
+The implementations are for learning purpose. They may be less efficient than the implementation in the standard library.

+### Contribute Guidelines
+Read our [Contribution Guidelines](https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/C-Plus-Plus/blob/master/README.md) before you contribute
 
 How you can contribute? See this small guide.
 
-* Use the directory structure of the repository.
-* Please describe your pull requests. 
-* Don't use **bits/stdc++.h** because this is quite Linux specific and slows down the compiler process.
-* Put comments in your code.
-* Avoid **struct**. Instead use the **class** keyword.
-* Add some test cases in the main-function.
-* Can suggest any change in present algorithms(if needed).
