Visual Sorting Algorithm Demonstrator

About

This project is a visual demonstration of various sorting algorithms implemented in C# using Blazor. The application provides a real-time visualization of how different sorting algorithms work, making it an excellent educational tool for understanding sorting mechanisms.

Features

• Interactive visualization of sorting processes
• Multiple sorting algorithm implementations including:
  • Bubble Sort
  • Selection Sort
  • Insertion Sort
  • Quicksort
  • Mergesort
  • Cocktail Shaker Sort
  • Comb Sort
  • Gnome Sort
  • Odd-Even Sort
• Real-time display of sorting progress
• Algorithm complexity information (Best, Average, and Worst case)
• Ability to cancel sorting operations mid-process

Implementation

The project is structured around the ISortable interface, which each sorting algorithm implements. Key technical features include:

• Repaint delegate system for UI updates during sorting
• Configurable delay timing for visualization
• CancellationToken implementation for operation control
• Blazor-based user interface

Code Structure

The main components of the project include:

• Algorithms directory containing nine distinct sorting algorithm implementations
• Index.razor.cs handling the main UI logic
• Algorithm enum for sorting algorithm selection
• SortingAlgorithmInstances array managing algorithm instantiation
