Sorting Visualizer is a Java-based GUI application that visually demonstrates how various sorting algorithms work. It provides an interactive way to learn, observe, and compare different sorting strategies in real-time.

• Real-time visualization of sorting algorithms
• Understand algorithm behavior step by step
• Compare performance of multiple algorithms
• Interactive GUI – intuitive and easy to use

• Java – Primary programming language
• Maven – Build automation and dependency management
• Swing/AWT – For graphical interface
• Any IDE – IntelliJ, Eclipse, or your preferred text editor

Ensure the following are installed:

• Java JDK (version 8 or later)

  java -version

• Maven

  mvn -version

If not installed, download Java JDK and Maven.

git clone https://github.com/your-username/sorting-visualizer.git cd sorting-visualizer

Or download the ZIP and extract it.

mvn clean install

mvn exec:java

java -jar target/Sorting-Visualizer-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Ensure the version in the filename matches the version in your pom.xml.
