Can I make more PRs for hacktoberfest after making 4 PRs?

I made 4 PRs. and I'm afraid, that what if they don't count?

As long as they aren’t spam, then they should count! AFAIK besides that there’s no upper limit for Hacktoberfest PRs.

what would count as spam?

(I am new to open source. I am sorry for asking childish questions)

Not childish at all, don’t worry! Spam are ones that the maintainers close and mark as “invalid”. I would do this for example if someone opens a PR that doesn’t have any meaningful changes (ie they open a PR changing a headline to their own name)

Okay, so as I am at a beginner level. I added 3-algorithms/basic codes to repositories that asked for it. and 3 of them merged it. So it's cool, right?

Yes sounds like it! Even if they don’t get merged, they still count for Hacktoberfest as long as they aren’t marked invalid 🙌🏻
