Sorting algorithms are a fundamental part of computer science. Whether you're prepping for a coding interview or building efficient applications, understanding how sorting works is crucial.
But let’s be honest: reading code isn’t always the easiest way to learn.
That’s why I built Visualize Sort Lab — a powerful and interactive platform to see sorting algorithms in action.
🎯 What Is Visualize Sort Lab?
Visualize Sort Lab is a sorting algorithm visualizer designed for developers, students, and curious learners who want to see how sorting works step by step.
You can:
- 🔄 Watch animations of popular sorting algorithms
- 💻 See the code in Python, Java, JavaScript, and C++
- 📊 Understand time and space complexity
- 🧠 Compare how algorithms behave on different data sets
“Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”
This tool is all about involving you.
🔍 Features
✅ Visual Animation
Each sorting algorithm is animated in real time. Watch how elements are compared, swapped, and positioned.
✅ Code Tabs
Switch between Python, C++, Java, and JavaScript. See how each language implements the algorithm.
✅ Complexity Breakdown
Quick insights into Best Case, Average Case, and Worst Case complexities (Big-O notation).
✅ Clean, Minimal UI
No distractions—just sorting and learning.
🧠 Supported Algorithms
- Bubble Sort
- Selection Sort
- Insertion Sort
- Merge Sort
- Quick Sort
- Heap Sort
- And more coming soon!
🛠 Why I Built This
As a developer, I always felt that textbook diagrams didn’t cut it. I wanted something interactive, beautiful, and multi-language—so I built one.
Visualize Sort Lab isn’t just a tool—it’s a learning companion.
