SORTING VISUALIZER
A fun dive into sort visualizers!
ABSTRACT
• Sorting is the process of arranging elements either in ascending order or
descending order. We often fail to understand the core idea of a particular
algorithm because we are unable to visualize how they work. Visualization
can motivate the students to learn and understand easily without any
difficulty.
OBJECTIVE
• To develop a tool that helps to visualize how different
sorting algorithms work.
• Enhance learning by providing an interactive and
engaging way to understand sorting concepts.
SCOPE
• Suitable for students , educators , and developers.
• Supports a variety of sorting algorithms.
• Easy integration into educational platforms.
PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
• Step1: Identify and select sorting algorithms(e.g., Bubble
sort, Merge sort etc. ).
• Step2: Design and develop a graphical user
interface(GUI).
• Step3: Implement animations to depict sorting steps
dynamically.
• Step4: Validate the tool through user feedback.
