Visulgorithm: Easy Conceptualization of Data Structures and Algorithms

Abstract

There are various Data Structure Algorithms that we use to find solutions to standard problems and to obtain an insight into how efficient it is to use each one of them. However, these algorithms can be complex and difficult to understand, differentiate and select an efficient algorithm. As a solution to this, visualizing these algorithms will aid in understanding them. The working of various algorithms like path finding algorithms, tree based algorithms, sorting algorithms and searching algorithms can be demonstrated using examples to understand what happens at each stage in the processing of the algorithm. This system is very useful for Educational purposes to demonstrate while teaching and can also be used by researchers and coders to find the best algorithm to solve their problems. In recent time path finding algorithms are also used by Space rovers to navigate on foreign planets, they can be visualized to select the best path. The System uses Express Framework (Node JS), HTML, CSS, JavaScript and JQuery to create attractive visual animations which make the visualization more attractive and easy to understand.
