GUI(Graphical User Interface) helps in better understanding than programs. In this article, we will visualize Bucket Sort using JavaScript. We will see how the elements are stored in Buckets and then how Buckets get traversed to get the final sorted array. We will also visualize the time complexity of Bucket Sort. 

Refer:

Approach:

  • First, we will generate a random array using Math.random() function.
  • Different color is used to indicate which element is being traversed.
  • Each traversed element is thrown into a suitable Bucket.
  • These buckets are sorted using Insertion Sort.
  • Further, these buckets are traversed to get the final sorted array.
  • Since the algorithm performs the operation very fast, the setTimeout() function has been used to slow down the process.
  • The new array can be generated by pressing the “Ctrl+R” key.
  • The sorting is performed using BucketSort() function using Buckets.

Example: In this example, we will see the bucket sorting method.

Before Sorting

After Sorting

Below is the program to visualize the Bucket Sort algorithm.
