📥 Download the Application

📝 Features

• Easy to use application
• Visual comparisons of sorting algorithms
• Performance testing on random datasets
• Built with Java for compatibility across many systems
• Understand how different algorithms perform with data

💻 Requirements

To run this application, you need:

• A computer with Java (version 8 or higher) installed
• Windows, macOS, or Linux operating system
• Internet connection for downloading the application

📦 Download & Install

To get the software, visit the Releases page:

Visit this page to download

1. Click on the link above.
2. Find the latest version listed on the page.
3. Look for a file that ends in .jar (this is the application file).
4. Download this file by clicking on it.
5. Once the download completes, locate the file on your computer.

⚙️ Running the Application

1. Ensure you have Java installed. You can check this by opening a command prompt and typing java -version. If you see a Java version listed, you’re ready to go.
2. Open your command prompt or terminal.
3. Navigate to the folder where you downloaded the .jar file. Use the cd command to change directories.

4. Run the application by typing the command:

   java -jar name_of_the_file.jar
   

   Replace name_of_the_file.jar with the actual name of the downloaded file.

📊 Using the Application

After you run the application, you will see a simple interface. Here’s how to use it:

1. Select an Algorithm: Choose between QuickSort, MergeSort, and RadixSort.
2. Input Data: You may enter a list of numbers or use the default random dataset.
3. Start Sorting: Click the “Sort” button. The application will sort the numbers and display the algorithm’s performance.
4. Compare Results: View the output to see how fast each algorithm sorted the data.

🔍 Understanding Algorithms

QuickSort

QuickSort is a fast sorting method that works by dividing a large dataset into smaller parts. It chooses a “pivot” and sorts numbers around it, which often leads to quicker results.

MergeSort

MergeSort is an efficient, stable sorting algorithm. It divides the dataset into halves, sorts them separately, and then merges them back together. It’s great for large datasets.

RadixSort

RadixSort works a bit differently. It sorts numbers digit by digit, starting from the least significant digit. It can be very fast, especially for sorting large sets of integers.

📊 Comparing Performance

The application tests each algorithm’s speed on the same dataset. This allows you to see which algorithm performs best based on time taken and efficiency.
