Visual Sorting

Program for visualizing various sorting algorithms

mergeSort.mp4

Requirements:

• Python 3.9
  • numpy
  • scipy
  • matplotlib
• FFmpeg - https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases
  • Required to compile the generated frames and sound into a mp4
  • Must be in system PATH so that .bat file can call it
  • Installation guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjtmgCb8NcE&t=0s

How To:

Down the zip of the repository, unzip, and double click the make_movie.bat. Input what sorting method you want to use and the array size, then sit back and watch as the sorting algorithm runs!

Available Methods (Recommended array size):

• Bubble (N <= 50)
• Cocktail (N <= 50)
• Selection (N <= 50)
• Insertion (N <= 50)
• Shell (N <= 50)
• Quick (N <= 100)
• Merge (N <= 100)
• Radix (N <= 100)
