"Visualize how different sorting algorithms compare and swap elements."
Teaching
"Use as a classroom aid to demonstrate algorithm complexity and behavior."
Interview prep
"Build intuition for sorting algorithm performance and behavior."
Frequently Asked Questions
?Which sorting algorithm is fastest?
Quick Sort and Merge Sort average O(n log n), while Bubble, Selection, and Insertion Sort are O(n²).
?What do the bar colors mean?
Gray means default, yellow means comparing, red means swapped, and green means sorted.
?Can I change the array size?
Yes, use the size slider to set between 10 and 100 elements.
?How does the speed control work?
The slider adjusts the delay between animation steps, from slow to instant.
?Is my data private?
Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
?Is this tool free?
Yes. Completely free with no limits, no sign-up required.
