Sorting-Algorithm-Visualizer

This is an interactive Java application that demonstrate various sorting algorithms through graphical interface. It is built using Java, Swing and AWT, this tool offers a clear, step-by-step visualization of how different sorting methods operate, making it an excellent resource for learning and teaching.

You can download the latest version of the Sorting Algorithm Visualizer JAR file from here.

FEATURES

1. Visualization of multiple sorting algorithms including :
   • Bubble Sort
   • Insertion Sort
   • Selection Sort
   • Counting Sort
   • Merge Sort
   • Quick Sort
   • Radix Sort
2. Real-time graphical representation of sorting process.
3. Adjustable sorting speed.
4. Highlighting of active elements during the sorting process with different colors.

TECHNOLOGIES USED

JAVA : core language used for implementing sorting algorithms ans visualizations.
SWING and AWT : used for creating the GUI
