Sort Visualisator

This repository contains a Java Spring Boot and JavaScript tool for visualizing sorting algorithms.

Implementing a New Visualization

To create a new algorithm visualization, follow these steps:

1. Create a New Class:

   • Navigate to the src/main/java/com/azelentsov/sortVisualisator/Core/sortAlgorithms directory.
   • Create a new class file and extend the abstract class BaseSort.

2. Implement Required Methods:

   • run(): Implement the main algorithm logic within the run method. During each iteration of the algorithm, call saveArrayBeforeIteration() before the iteration and saveArrayAfterIteration() after the iteration. This approach saves and detects swaps of array elements for visualization purposes. Between this functions use the highlightVariable() method to highlight variables, and the displayVariable() method to display variables in the table beneath the sorting graph.
   • populateProps(): Populate the properties of your algorithm in the props HashMap. This HashMap will be used to populate the algorithm comparison row.

3. Annotation:

   • After implementing the above steps, don't forget to add the @Component annotation to the class.
