About Sorting Algorithm Visualizer

The Sorting Algorithm Visualizer is an interactive educational tool designed to help students and developers understand how computer science algorithms work. By watching the step-by-step sorting process, you can visualize the efficiency and behavior of Bubble Sort, Quick Sort, Merge Sort, and more.

Algorithms Explained

Bubble Sort

A simple comparison-based algorithm that swaps adjacent elements if they are in the wrong order. It is easy to understand but inefficient for large datasets.

Selection Sort

Repeatedly finds the minimum element and places it at the beginning. It performs fewer swaps than Bubble Sort.

Insertion Sort

Builds the sorted array one item at a time. It is efficient for small data sets or nearly sorted arrays.

Merge Sort (Divide & Conquer)

A highly efficient algorithm that divides the array into halves, sorts them, and then merges them back together.

Quick Sort

An efficient algorithm that picks a 'pivot' element and partitions the array around it. It is one of the fastest sorting algorithms in practice.
