Features

• Visualize sorting algorithms graphically in real-time.
• Compare the time complexity of algorithms graphically.
• Supports multiple sorting algorithms including Bubble Sort, Quick Sort, and Merge Sort.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

Before running the application, make sure you have Python installed on your machine. You can download Python here.

Installing

Clone the repository to your local machine:

Navigate to the cloned repository:

cd sorting-visualizer

Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Application

To run the application, execute the following command in the terminal:

python main.py

Usage

Once the application starts, you can:

• Select a sorting algorithm from the dropdown menu.
• Click 'Generate Array' to create a new random array.
• Click 'Start Sorting' to begin the visualization.
• Observe the sorting process on the screen.
