Hi, what do you actually want to do? Do you want to implement specific algorithms, and which, in C or C++ (two different computer languages). The direct connection of algorithms and languages appears a bit odd. An algorithm is an abstract description of a computational "recipe" that could be given in pseudo-code or any formal language. A programmer should then be able to implement such an algorithm in actual computer code, compile, test and debug it.

Not strictly an introduction into algorithms, but check the SeqAn library tutorial: https://docs.seqan.de/seqan/3-master-user/usergroup1.html

If you want to do applied bioinformatics efficiently or implement an new application in whatever language, you will need a good set of supported libraries for doing the basics, like file parsing, IO, alignment, etc.
