PopUpSort

With the assistance of ChatGPT-3.5, I was able to create this sorting visualizer.

The PopUpSort package is a Python package that visualizes multiple sorting algorithms. The package uses the Tkinter library for the graphical user interface.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• tkinter library (included in most Python installations)

Installation

Method 1: Using pip

pip install popupsort

Method 2: Download the source code, then open terminal in the downloaded folder (where setup.py is) and run

pip install .

Usage

First import the package

import popupsort as pus

Syntax

pus.sort(array, algorithm, speed) # Sorting an already defined array

pus.sort_rand(size, min, max, algorithm, speed) # Auto generate an array and sort it

pus.sort_compare(array, algorithms, speed) # Compare sorting algorithms

pus.sort_compare_rand(size, min, max, algorithms, speed) # Auto generate an array and compare sorting algorithms

Algorithms

Replace 'algorithm' argument with any of these options:

• 'Bubble Sort' or 'b'
• 'Selection Sort' or 's'
• 'Insertion Sort' or 'i'
• 'Quick Sort' or 'q'
• 'Merge Sort' or 'm'
• 'Heap Sort' or 'h'
• 'Shell Sort' or 'sh'

For sorting comparision, replace 'algorithms' argument with a list of algorithms:

algorithms = ['b', 's', 'i', 'q', 'm', 'h', 'sh'] # You can remove any algorithms you don't want to compare

Examples

arr = [60,24,21,65,93,56,35,10,55,49,86,76] # Define an array
pus.sort(arr, 'b', 0.02)                    # Visualize the bubble sort of this array with a speed of 0.02s

pus.sort_rand(50, 1, 100, 'i') # Generate an array of size 50 with elements ranging from 1 to 100 and sort it using insertion sort, speed is 0.01 by default

pus.sort_compare(arr, ['s','i']) # Compare selection and insertion algorithms

pus.sort_compare_rand(100, 1, 20, ['q','h','m']) # Generate an array and compare quick sort, heap sort, and merge sort
