Project Report: Sorting Visualizer

1. Introduction
Sorting is a fundamental concept in computer science and is often one of the first algorithms
students learn. A sorting visualizer is a tool that visually demonstrates how different sorting
algorithms work in real-time. This project aims to create an interactive and educational tool
to help users understand and compare sorting algorithms through animations.

2. Objective
- To implement a web-based or desktop application that visualizes common sorting
algorithms.

- To compare the performance and working of various algorithms visually.

- To enhance the learning experience through interactive visualization.

3. Technologies Used
- Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript

- Backend: (Optional) Python / Node.js

- Libraries: D3.js / p5.js / React (if applicable)

4. Features
- Interactive interface to select different algorithms

- Speed control for animation

- Adjustable array size

- Visual representation using bars or lines

- Option to pause, resume, and reset sorting

5. Sorting Algorithms Implemented


- Bubble Sort

- Selection Sort

- Insertion Sort
- Merge Sort

- Quick Sort

- (Optional) Heap Sort, Radix Sort

6. Working
An array of random numbers is generated and displayed as vertical bars. When an
algorithm is selected, the application begins animating the sorting process. Different colors
are used to highlight comparisons and swaps. The time complexity and step-by-step process
of the algorithm are visually represented.

7. Challenges Faced
- Synchronizing animations with algorithm steps

- Managing performance for large datasets

- Making the interface responsive across devices

8. Future Scope
- Adding more algorithms like Counting Sort, Tim Sort, etc.

- Providing explanations for each step in real-time

- Adding sound effects for interaction

- Mobile-friendly version

9. Conclusion
The Sorting Visualizer project is a practical tool that bridges the gap between theoretical
learning and visual understanding. It serves as an excellent educational aid and can be
further extended for advanced algorithm learning.
