Sorting-algorithm-Visualiser

sorts the random numbers generated using different sorting algorithms and is visualised using animation.

Sorting Algorithms

• Bubble Sort
• Selection Sort
• Merge sort
• quick sort
• Insertion sort

Algorithms Description

Bubble sort

  begin BubbleSort(list)  
   for all elements of list  
      if list[i] > list[i+1]  
         swap(list[i], list[i+1])  
      end if  
   end for    
   return list  
 end BubbleSort  

selection sort

Step 1 − Set MIN to location 0
Step 2 − Search the minimum element in the list
Step 3 − Swap with value at location MIN
Step 4 − Increment MIN to point to next element
Step 5 − Repeat until list is sorted

Merge sort

Step 1 − if it is only one element in the list it is already sorted, return.
Step 2 − divide the list recursively into two halves until it can no more be divided.
Step 3 − merge the smaller lists into new list in sorted order.

Quick sort

Step 1 − Choose the highest index value has pivot
Step 2 − Take two variables to point left and right of the list excluding pivot
Step 3 − left points to the low index
Step 4 − right points to the high
Step 5 − while value at left is less than pivot move right
Step 6 − while value at right is greater than pivot move left
Step 7 − if both step 5 and step 6 does not match swap left and right
Step 8 − if left ≥ right, the point where they met is new pivot

Insertion sort

Step 1 − If it is the first element, it is already sorted. return 1;
Step 2 − Pick next element
Step 3 − Compare with all elements in the sorted sub-list
Step 4 − Shift all the elements in the sorted sub-list that is greater than the value to be sorted
Step 5 − Insert the value
Step 6 − Repeat until list is sorted
