Sorting Algorithm Visualizer

Inspiration

As a second year student of computer science domain, we had the course of dsa which was a crucial subject. I observed that without a proper faculty, most of my peers had difficulty in fundamentally understanding the working of the algorithm, even if we could somehow manage to do the code with some online resources. Hence I wanted to make a website that could help students visualise algorithms in a fun way, starting with the sorting algorithms.

What it does

Visually depicts sorting algorithms like merge sort, quick sort, bubble sort, heap sort, through an interactive platform. Also allows u to implement it on a new array

How we built it

The project was built using ReactJS, javascript and css

Challenges we ran into

There were challenges faced in figuring out the visualization method for each algorithm

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I learnt Reactjs by building this project. I'm proud of learning a new tool through this hackathon. I also learnt to use git while coding for the hack.
