Research direction

Review JavaScript filenames in the algorithms, data-structures, playground, and utils/comparator folders, noting the stated exceptions for sorting algorithms, Matrix.js, and Knapsack.js. Confirm the intended PascalCase convention and inventory the affected files; done means the applicable filenames follow one consistent convention.

Description

Hello, while using your repository, I noticed that there is currently an inconsistency in file naming conventions. All JavaScript file names in the algorithms folder (with the exception of all sorting algorithms, Matrix.js from math and Knapsack.js from sets), are in camel case while all the JavaScript file names in data-structures, playground and utils/comparator are in pascal case. I propose changing file names from camel case to pascal case to enhance consistency in the repository. I'm new to OSS, so I thought this might be a good introduction to contributing. Let me know what you think!
