SortingSounds

Java application which visualizes three different sorting algorithms: bubble sort, quicksort and array sort, optionally playing a different tone to every comparison it makes while sorting.

The application contains 4 controls and a button responsible for the start of visualization.

• Sorting Method ChoiceBox allowing to choose between different sorting algorithms to visualize
• Latency Slider which can be manipulated during runtime allowing the user to change the speed of the animation
• Sample size ChoiceBox which lets the user choose different sizes of an array to be sorted
• Play Sound CheckBox responsible for determining if the sound should be played during visualization

In the botton there is a label which informs the user about how many comparisons chosen algorithm had made during sorting.

An example of the application running Bubble sort algorithm:

Quicksort:
