+## ▶️ Running an Algorithm
+
+Most algorithms in this repository can be executed directly from the command line.
+
+```bash
+python path/to/algorithm.py
+```
+
+For example:
+
+```bash
+python searches/binary_search.py
+```
+
+Many implementations include doctests, assertions, or example usage that will run automatically when the file is executed.
