+## Installation
 
-```js
-function binarySearch(arr, target) {
-  let left = 0,
-      right = arr.length - 1;
-  while (left <= right) {
-    const mid = Math.floor((left + right) / 2);
-    if (arr[mid] === target) return mid;
-    if (arr[mid] < target) left = mid + 1;
-    else right = mid - 1;
-  }
-  return -1;
-}
+To get started with this repository, clone it to your local machine. Use the following command:
 
-console.log(binarySearch([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 4)); // Output: 3
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/ahmedsaidahmedsaid/javascript-algorithms.git
 ```
 
-**Explanation**: Searches for a target in a sorted array using a divide-and-conquer approach (Time complexity: O(log n)).
-
-## 4. Fibonacci Sequence (Recursive)
-
-```js
-function fibonacci(n) {
-  if (n <= 1) return n;
-  return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);
-}
+Once cloned, navigate to the directory:
 
-console.log(fibonacci(6)); // Output: 8
+```bash
+cd javascript-algorithms
 ```
 
-**Explanation**: Generates the nth Fibonacci number recursively by summing the two preceding numbers.
-
-⚠️ **Note**: This approach has exponential time complexity O(2^n) and is inefficient for large inputs. Use memoization or iteration for better performance.
-
-## 5. Factorial of a Number
-
-```js
-function factorial(n) {
-  if (n === 0) return 1;
-  return n * factorial(n - 1);
-}
+You can then install any required dependencies using npm:
 
-console.log(factorial(5)); // Output: 120
+```bash
+npm install
 ```
 
-**Explanation**: Calculates the factorial of a number recursively by multiplying it with decremented values.
+## Usage
 
-## 6. Prime Number Check
+After installing, you can run any algorithm by executing the corresponding JavaScript file. For example, to run the Fibonacci sequence algorithm, use:
 
-```js
-function isPrime(num) {
-  if (num <= 1) return false;
-  for (let i = 2; i <= Math.sqrt(num); i++) {
-    if (num % i === 0) return false;
-  }
-  return true;
-}
-
-console.log(isPrime(7)); // Output: true
+```bash
+node fibonacci.js
 ```
 
-**Explanation**: Checks if a number is prime by testing divisibility up to its square root.
-
-## 7. Find Maximum in Array
+Make sure to check the documentation for each algorithm to understand how to use them effectively.
 
-```js
-function findMax(arr) {
-  return Math.max(...arr);
-}
+For the latest updates and releases, visit the [Releases section](https://github.com/ahmedsaidahmedsaid/javascript-algorithms/releases).
 
-console.log(findMax([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])); // Output: 5
-```
+## Contributing
 
-**Explanation**: Finds the largest number in an array using the `Math.max` function and the spread operator.
-
-## 8. Merge Two Sorted Arrays
-
-```js
-function mergeSortedArrays(arr1, arr2) {
-  let merged = [], i = 0, j = 0;
-  while (i < arr1.length && j < arr2.length) {
-    if (arr1[i] < arr2[j]) {
-      merged.push(arr1[i]);
-      i++;
-    } else {
-      merged.push(arr2[j]);
-      j++;
-    }
-  }
-  return merged.concat(arr1.slice(i)).concat(arr2.slice(j));
-}
-
-console.log(mergeSortedArrays([1, 3, 5], [2, 4, 6])); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
