Bring all the folder structures of the repositories to a common standard about website HOT 6 CLOSED

I strongly disagree with @ayaankhan98 on this matter because every language has its own style and ways. This is the reason why we need algorithms in many languages instead of just implementing them once in a pseudo-language. Algorithm implementations in different languages are the same algorithm, just expressed differently. This allows folks to learn the way things are done in a language. For example, one class per file rule is a de-facto standard in the .Net world and there is no good reason to violate this and put tests and code together. If we do so, people will get bad coding habits and will have to re-learn and break their bad coding habits when the time to do real work comes. As we are a big community and many people using our repositories are students, I think it's irresponsible from our side to set them a bad example with code that violates language and industry standards and best practices.

In project type structure files are dependent on each other, learners will not be capable of executing a single file in isolation.

Yes, you cannot execute a file in C# and other compiled languages. And what does it mean to execute an algorithm in the first place? You can apply an algorithm to solve an instance of a problem, but you cannot execute an algorithm per se.
