Getting Started

To get started with Sortify, you can download the latest release from our Releases section. After downloading, follow the instructions to set it up on your local machine.

Prerequisites

• A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.)
• Basic understanding of sorting algorithms (optional)

Installation

1. Download the latest release from the Releases section.
2. Extract the downloaded file.
3. Open the index.html file in your web browser.

How to Use

Using Sortify is simple. Follow these steps:

1. Select an Algorithm: Choose from a variety of sorting algorithms available in the dropdown menu.
2. Set Parameters: Adjust the array size and speed of sorting.
3. Click Start: Hit the start button to see the sorting in action.
4. Observe: Watch how the algorithm sorts the array step-by-step.

Sorting Algorithms

Sortify visualizes a variety of sorting algorithms. Here’s a brief overview of each:

Bubble Sort

Bubble Sort is a simple algorithm that repeatedly steps through the list, compares adjacent elements, and swaps them if they are in the wrong order. This process repeats until the list is sorted.

Insertion Sort

Insertion Sort builds the final sorted array one item at a time. It takes each element from the input data and finds the appropriate location within the sorted part of the array.

Merge Sort

Merge Sort is a divide-and-conquer algorithm. It divides the unsorted list into two halves, sorts them, and then merges them back together.

Quick Sort

Quick Sort is another divide-and-conquer algorithm. It selects a 'pivot' element from the array and partitions the other elements into two sub-arrays, according to whether they are less than or greater than the pivot.

Radix Sort

Radix Sort processes the digits of the numbers from the least significant to the most significant. It uses counting sort as a subroutine to sort.

Selection Sort

Selection Sort divides the input list into two parts: the sorted part and the unsorted part. It repeatedly selects the smallest (or largest) element from the unsorted part and moves it to the sorted part.

Technologies Used

Sortify uses a combination of technologies to provide a seamless experience:

• HTML5: For structuring the web pages.
• CSS3: For styling the application.
• JavaScript: For implementing the sorting algorithms and animations.
• Canvas API: For rendering the visualizations.
