       | Continuous Subarray' produced some errors: 'Cannot set properties

       | I made an only sorting algo visualizer which runs same algo on

       | whole array or just one swap.
       | 
       | It looks very cool on large arrays.

       | Love it. I also built a platform that works for any algorithm and
       | problem based on call stack tracing. Works best for recursion,
       | backtracking and dynamic programming problems.

       | Very cool. One of my favorite professors in college would make
       | 100+ slide powerpoints of algorithms and flip through them really
       | fast in order to visualize what they were doing, it was really
       | helpful.
