Welcome to the Sorting Visualizer! This Java application allows you to visualize the working of four sorting algorithms: Bubble Sort, Merge Sort, Insertion Sort, and Quick Sort. The visualization is presented through bar graphs and scatter charts, providing an intuitive understanding of how these algorithms operate.
- Sorting Algorithms Bubble Sort: A simple comparison-based sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the list, compares adjacent elements, and swaps them if they are in the wrong order. Merge Sort: A divide-and-conquer algorithm that divides the array into two halves, recursively sorts them, and then merges the sorted halves. Insertion Sort: Builds the final sorted array one item at a time, iteratively taking each element and placing it in its correct position. Quick Sort: A divide-and-conquer algorithm that works by selecting a 'pivot' element and partitioning the other elements into two sub-arrays according to whether they are less than or greater than the pivot.
- Visualization Bar Graph: Represents the elements to be sorted as bars on a graph, with the height indicating their value. Scatter Chart: Illustrates the changes in the elements' positions during the sorting process.
- Adjustable Parameters Speed Control: Adjust the speed of the visualization to observe the sorting process at different rates. Algorithm Selection: Choose which sorting algorithms to visualize. Code Display: Toggle the display of algorithmic code to understand the inner workings.
- Input Data Custom Input: Provide your own set of data for sorting.
Prerequisites Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your machine. Running the Application Clone this repository to your local machine.
bash Copy code git clone https://github.com/your-username/sorting-visualizer-java.git Navigate to the project directory.
bash Copy code cd sorting-visualizer-java Compile and run the application.
