Array Playground

Developers often memorize how array operations behave but struggle to visualize why inserting or deleting from arbitrary indexes requires $O(N)$ shifts, or how left and right index bounds move in sliding window algorithms.

This playground provides a visual trace of index values and moving bounds, revealing array mechanisms instantly.

This sandbox teaches critical array concepts:

• Linear array memory layouts and structures
• Time complexity of insertions vs. deletions (element shifting)
• Two Pointers technique for matching sub-sums
• Sliding Window logic for contiguous range aggregates
• Pointer boundary conditions verification

An interactive array visualizer featuring:

• •Array elements grid displaying values, indices, and active pointer tags.
• •Interactive inputs to Insert (value/index) and Delete elements.
• •Array traversal step-by-step animation highlighting visited cells.
• •Sliding Window window-bounding box animations.
• •Two Pointer inward converging stepping animation.

• Integrate dynamic array resizing (Capacity vs. Size limits).
• Add support for prefix sum visual overlays.
• Include sorting animations (Bubble, Selection, QuickSort).
