Algorithm Visualizer is an interactive online platform that visualizes algorithms from code, letting users watch algorithms execute step by step. It is a React web app backed by a server, algorithm visualization repositories, and tracer libraries in multiple programming languages.

Use cases

• visualize sorting algorithms step by step
• learn how graph traversal algorithms work
• teach data structures and algorithms to students
• see how code maps to algorithm behavior
• explore algorithm tutorials with animations
• understand recursion and dynamic programming visually

When to choose

• you want an interactive, visual way to learn or teach algorithms
• you need a free open-source tool for computer science education
• you want to see algorithms from code executed with animations in the browser

When to avoid

• you need a production algorithm library to call from your own code
• you require offline desktop use without a browser
• you need exhaustive coverage of every algorithm or the latest research algorithms
