• This pull request is all my own work -- I have not plagiarized.
• I know that pull requests will not be merged if they fail the automated tests.
• This PR only changes one algorithm file. To ease review, please open separate PRs for separate algorithms.
• All new Python files are placed inside an existing directory.
• All filenames are in all lowercase characters with no spaces or dashes.
• All functions and variable names follow Python naming conventions.
• All function parameters and return values are annotated with Python type hints.
• All functions have doctests that pass the automated testing.
• All new algorithms have a URL in its comments that points to Wikipedia or other similar explanation.
• If this pull request resolves one or more open issues then the commit message contains Fixes: #{$ISSUE_NO}.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added a dedicated problem guide with examples, constraints, hints, and related topics.
• Tests
  • Added comprehensive coverage for typical scenarios and edge cases across both implementations.
• Documentation
  • Added the problem to the algorithms directory index.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds the Collect Coins in a Tree problem, two pruning-based solutions, parameterised tests, documentation, and a directory index entry.

Changes

Collect Coins in a Tree

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Problem definition and repository index algorithms/graphs/collect_coins_in_tree/README.md, DIRECTORY.md	Adds the problem statement, examples, constraints, pruning hints, related topics, and an alphabetised directory entry.
Pruning implementations and validation algorithms/graphs/collect_coins_in_tree/__init__.py, algorithms/graphs/collect_coins_in_tree/test_collect_coins_in_tree.py	Adds collect_the_coins and collect_the_coins_2. Both prune zero-coin leaves and two additional leaf layers, then return twice the remaining edge count. Tests cover seven tree scenarios.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to be670

The PR adds a localized algorithm and tests, but its documentation includes inaccurate pruning guidance and the public functions lack the doctests required by the contribution checklist; merge is reasonable with explicit owner follow-up for these bounded issues.

Suggested labels: enhancement, Documentation

Poem

A rabbit pruned the branches with care,
Collected coins from here and there.
Two paths now solve the tree’s delight,
Tests check each hop is counted right.
“Sniff!” said the rabbit, “The edges are bright.”

✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The title clearly identifies the new collect-coins tree algorithm and its topological-sort approach.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description follows the template and completes most checklist items, but the change summary is too brief and the single-file claim is inaccurate.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.

Add the declared doctests.

The PR objective requires doctests, but both public functions have no docstring. Add a short doctest for each implementation, or update the objective if the parameterised tests are the intended validation method.

Inline comments:
In `@algorithms/graphs/collect_coins_in_tree/README.md`:
- Around line 3-6: Update the problem statement’s input description to say “an
array of edges” and “an array of coins,” correcting the grammar without changing
the described data structures or behavior.
- Around line 53-54: Update the second pruning-phase description to say that all
current leaves are removed twice, without removing their parents. Explain that
the answer is twice the number of edges remaining after pruning, including the
case where the remaining tree is empty.
