popupsort 1.0.2

A program for visualizing sorting algorithms

PopUpSort

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

The PopUpSort package is a Python package that visualizes the sorting algorithms: bubble sort, selection sort, and insertion sort. 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

Algorithms

Replace 'algorithm' argument with any of these options:

• 'Bubble Sort' or 'b'
• 'Selection Sort' or 's'
• 'Insertion Sort' or 'i'

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', 0.1) # Auto generate an array of size 50 with elements ranging from 1 to 100 and sort it using insertion sort with a speed of 0.1s

Issues

• If you close the window while the array is still being sorted, then this error will appear

_tkinter.TclError: invalid command name ".!canvas"

• The numbers can sometimes collide with other numbers, this happens when you have a big array size

I'm open to solutions. If you can fix it, then go ahead!
