Algorithm Visualization: Bridging the Gap between Theory and Practice

Data structures are the components to store, organize and manage data efficiently. They provide a way to represent and store data in a computer program. Algorithms are the set of rules that are set to solve specific task or a problem. Together, data structures and algorithms make the fundamental block of computer science. We often fail to understand the concepts just because we can’t visualize how they work. Visualization can motivate students to learn and understand the concepts which they fail to do otherwise. Many researchers found that visual learning techniques are more promising than the conventional learning techniques. With this inspiration, we developed a tool to visualize different data structures and algorithms.
