This applet animates 5 sorting algorithms :
  • INSERTION SORT
  • SELECTION SORT
  • BUBBLE SORT
  • SHAKER SORT
  • SHELL SORT


    • The different options available for each algorithm are :
  • RESIZING the window to make it bigger
  • FAST or SLOW Mode
  • RANDOM or REVERSE-SORTED data


    • Note : There are a couple of odometers that have been added to the sorter for aesthetic value only. It measures only upto the nearest 100. So if a sorting algorithm takes 1204 comparisons, the odometer for comparisons will stop at 04.

    Click on the button at the top of the page and watch the sorting algorithms at work!
