+## Java Solutions to Leetcode Problems
+
+In this repo you will find a collection of 2500+ Java solutions to Leetcode coding problems and unit tests.
+
+I participated in Leetcode for quite some time, <br>
+peaking in a 500-day streak of solving the daily challenge, <br>
+even earning a free T-Shirt (which turned out to kind of small and could not be exchanged for a larger one unless shipped back to China :)
+

+    <figcaption>500-Day Streak</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+Most solutions have been successfully submitted. <br>
+Many come with JUnit tests using test data found in the problem descriptions.
+
+This project requires Maven and Java 17.<br>
+It has neither compile nor run-time, only test dependencies.<br>
+Unit tests are based on JUnit 5 and @ParameterizedTest.<br>
+The code is structured as a typical standard Maven project and fairly self-explanatory.<br>
+Solutions are named *ProblemNNNN*, tests are named *ProblemNNNNTest*<br>
+where *NNNN* is the problem number formatted to four digits.<br>
+To build the project simply type: `mvn` (defaults to `mvn clean verify`)
+
+- Use as you wish and as you feel fit.<br><br>
+
+- No warranty given.<br><br>
+
+- No need to give credit.<br><br>
+
+Hope you will find it useful.
+
+** Happy coding! **
