Educational Search Algorithm Simulator
Visualization
Mode: Array
Algorithm: Linear Search
How to Use the Playground
1. Select Mode & Algorithm
First, choose your **Mode** (Array or Graph). The **Algorithm** dropdown will update to show available searches for that mode.
2. Set Up Data
Array Mode: Select a sample, get random data, or type your own comma-separated numbers in the "Custom Array" box. Enter a "Target" value to find. Click "Apply Data".
Graph Mode: Use the sliders to set the number of nodes and edge density, then click "Generate Random Graph". You can also set the "Start Node" and "Target Node".
3. Run Simulation
Start: Begins the step-by-step animation.
Step: Manually executes one step of the algorithm.
Pause: Pauses the automatic animation.
Reset: Clears the current simulation state.
Run to End: Instantly completes the search and shows the final result.
