Bruno Simas Hadlich 267b5eff40 Added doctest and more explanation about Dijkstra execution. (#1014)
* Added doctest and more explanation about Dijkstra execution.

* tests were not passing with python2 due to missing __init__.py file at number_theory folder

* Removed the dot at the beginning of the imported modules names because 'python3 -m doctest -v data_structures/hashing/*.py' and 'python3 -m doctest -v data_structures/stacks/*.py' were failing not finding hash_table.py and stack.py modules.

* Moved global code to main scope and added doctest for project euler problems 1 to 14.

* Added test case for negative input.

* Changed N variable to do not use end of line scape because in case there is a space after it the script will break making it much more error prone.

* Added problems description and doctests to the ones that were missing. Limited line length to 79 and executed python black over all scripts.

* Changed the way files are loaded to support pytest call.

* Added __init__.py to problems to make them modules and allow pytest execution.

* Added project_euler folder to test units execution

* Changed 'os.path.split(os.path.realpath(__file__))' to 'os.path.dirname()'
