Benefits

Algorithms can be tricky to understand, especially for students studying computer science. This tool makes learning easier by showing how algorithms work in real-time. Visualizations help connect hard-to-grasp concepts to real-life situations, making it simpler to understand basic ideas like searching and sorting.

Use Cases

Searching Algorithms

Searching algorithms help find or retrieve items from data structures. There are two main types:

1. Sequential Search: This method checks each item one by one. For example, Linear Search.
2. Interval Search: These are more efficient and work on sorted data. They repeatedly target the center of the search structure. For example, Binary Search.

Sorting Algorithms

Sorting algorithms arrange data in a specific order, like numerical or alphabetical. They are important for making data searches faster and making data easier to read. Examples include telephone directories and dictionaries.

Sorting algorithms can be:

1. In-place Sorting: These algorithms sort data within the array itself without needing extra space. For example, Bubble Sort.
2. Not-in-place Sorting: These need extra space equal to or more than the items being sorted. For example, Merge Sort.

Sorting algorithms can also be:

• Stable Sorting: Keeps the order of similar items after sorting.
• Unstable Sorting: Changes the order of similar items after sorting.

Sorting algorithms can also be:

• Adaptive Sorting: Benefits from already sorted items.
• Non-Adaptive Sorting: Re-orders every item regardless of prior sorting.
