🎯 Overview Algo Vis transforms abstract algorithmic concepts into tangible, step-by-step visual demonstrations. Watch sorting and searching algorithms execute in real-time, control their playback, and gain intuitive understanding of computational processes that power modern computing. ✨ Features
Real-Time Algorithm Animation: Watch algorithms execute step by step with smooth, clear visualizations Interactive Playback Controls: Play, pause, and step through algorithm execution at your own pace Multiple Algorithms: Visualize core sorting and searching algorithms including:
1.Bubble Sort
2.Insertion Sort
3.Selection Sort
4.Quick Sort
5.Merge Sort
6.Linear Search
7.Binary Search
8.Insert Method
9.Delete Method
10.DFS Traversal
11.BFS Traversal Adjustable Parameters: Modify input size and animation speed for experimentation
