Algorithm Playground

Compare different sorting strategies in real-time. This playground lets you visualize the core behavior of comparison-based algorithms on large datasets.

Visualizer Guide

Algorithms: Select from simple $O(n^2)$ algorithms to see their inefficiency on larger sets.
Speed control: Slow down to observe swapping logic or speed up to see the macroscopic "shaping" of the array.
Interactive Simulation: You can pause the execution at any time to inspect a specific frame.

Performance Note

Notice how Selection Sort consistently scans the entire unsorted portion, whereas Bubble Sort often finds early exits or shorter inner loops. Insertion Sort is typically the fastest among these for smaller or partially sorted data.
