Sorting Algorithm Visualizer & Analyzer

An interactive Streamlit application to visualize, analyze, and compare sorting algorithms.
The project is inspired by Introduction to Algorithms (CLRS) and extended with modern visualization and benchmarking features.

Features

• Step-by-step visualization with bubble chart animations.
• Supported algorithms: Insertion Sort, Merge Sort, Quick Sort, Heap Sort, Counting Sort, Radix Sort (LSD), Shell Sort, Bucket Sort
• Metrics tracking:
  • Execution time (ms)
  • Comparisons
  • Moves (writes/swaps)
  • Number of frames
  • Sorted OK check
• Scaling benchmark: analyze performance as input size increases.
• Export results as CSV.
