Subject: [PATCH] Updated README.md

Added an about section for the project. Additionally, I tweaked the contribution guide to make it more thorough. I added a table of existing Data Structures and Algorithms.

 # Data-Structures-and-Algorithms-in-cpp
-This is very good piece of coding.
-This repository is in development phase and will soon provide you with c++ code of various data structures and algorithms
-
-## Who can contribute
-Anyone can contribute to this repositry.
+Welcome to cppDataStructures and Algorithms. We are dedicated to helping the world of C++ programming through comprehensive data structures and algorithms implementations. Our community-driven project aims to provide programmers of all levels with high-quality, well-documented, and efficient solutions for solving complex problems.
 
 # Contribution Guide
+## Who can contribute
+We welcome contributions of all kinds, from bug reports and feature requests to code contributions and documentation improvements. Please feel free to contribute no matter your experience.
 
 ## How to contribute
 <ul>
 <li>Fork this repository</li>
-<li>Pick up an algortihm</li>
-<li>Write your code</li>
+<li>Clone the forked repository to your machine</li>
+<li>Create a branch</li>
+<li>Choose a Data Structure or Algorithm (or both)</li>
 <li>Create a pull request</li>
 <li>Star the repository to show your support</li>
 </ul>
 
 ## Instructions
-Create a folder for the topic you wish to contribute in and add the respective files in that particular folder.
-If a folder for a particular Data Structure or Algorithm exists. Add your codes in that folder itself.
-If a folder already exists, add your codes to it.
+
+### Data Structures
+<ul>
+<li>Create a file in the folder of your chosen Data Structure</li>
+<li>If it does not exist, create a new folder</li>
+<li>Please use header and source files to separate</li>
+<li>Create sub-folders for any algorithms related to your data structure</li>
+<li>If you are changing an existing data structure, be sure to describe what you changed and how it improves the codebase</li>
+</ul>
+
+### Algorithms
+<ul>
+<li>If your algorithm can be generalized(i.e. sorting), please add it to that folder</li>
+<li>Else, create a new file and name it after your algorithm</li>
+<li>If you are editing an existing algorithm, be sure to describe what you changed and how it improves the algorithm</li>
+</ul>
 
 ### Additional Notes
 * Code should be properly commented so as to ensure it's readability.
 * If you've added code that should be tested, add tests as comments. 
 * Make sure your code is properly formatted.
