About This Course

This course is perfect for beginners looking to understand and apply sorting algorithms. Through visual simulations, you’ll learn how these algorithms work step-by-step, their time complexity, and how they compare to each other.

Starting with the basics, you’ll explore **what sorting is**, its practical applications in game development, and why it’s essential. You’ll then implement and visualize a range of sorting algorithms, including **Bubble Sort**, **Selection Sort**, **Insertion Sort**, **Quick Sort**, **Merge Sort**, and **Radix Sort**. The interactive visualizer allows you to customize the array size and observe how each algorithm performs on randomized data. Metrics like the number of comparisons, array accesses, and the algorithm's time complexity will be displayed, giving you a clear understanding of their efficiency and behavior. By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid grasp of sorting algorithms and their use cases, preparing you for more advanced problem-solving in programming and game development.
