Updated Sorting Visualizer Project Synopsis
2. Problem Statement
Sorting is a fundamental concept in computer science and is widely used in various
applications such as database systems, search algorithms, and data analysis. Despite its
importance, many students find it challenging to understand how sorting algorithms work
due to the abstract nature of the concepts. This project aims to provide a visual and
interactive way to learn sorting algorithms, helping learners grasp the logic and flow
behind each algorithm more effectively.
Introduction of Project
The Sorting Algorithm Visualizer is a web-based tool designed to illustrate how different
sorting algorithms function. By animating the sorting process, the tool helps users
understand the sequence of steps taken by each algorithm. Users can select various
algorithms, adjust the speed of the animation, and observe how the array elements are
manipulated and sorted in real-time. The visual representation simplifies learning and
makes it more engaging, especially for students and beginners in data structures and
algorithms.
4. Methodology
The project follows a structured development approach:
1. Requirement Analysis: Identifying the needs of learners and educators.
2. Design Phase: Creating wireframes and planning the user interface layout.
3. Development:
- Applying data structure and algorithm (DSA) principles to write efficient and accurate
code for each sorting technique.
4. Testing: Ensuring the visualizer works across different browsers and devices.
Software Requirements:
- Addition of advanced algorithms like Quick Sort, Heap Sort, and Radix Sort
