🔍 Problem Statement

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Users currently can only visualize sorting algorithms but cannot experiment with their own implementations or modifications. This limits the learning potential and practical understanding of the algorithms.

User Story
As a user learning sorting algorithms, I want to be able to write, modify, and test my own sorting algorithm implementations in a safe environment to better understand how they work.

💡 Proposed Solution

Describe the solution you'd like
Implement an interactive code playground that allows users to:

• Write and modify sorting algorithm code
• Test their implementations with different array inputs
• Compare their solutions with reference implementations
• Get real-time feedback and performance metrics

Key Features/Requirements:

• Code editor with syntax highlighting
• Live preview of sorting visualization
• Performance metrics display
• Reference implementation comparison
• Error handling and feedback
• Code sharing capability

Acceptance Criteria:

• Code editor is responsive and user-friendly
• Real-time visualization updates
• Accurate performance measurements
• Clear error messages
• Safe code execution environment
• Shareable code snippets

🔄 Alternative Solutions

Describe alternatives you've considered

• External IDE integration (rejected - too complex)
• Pre-written code templates only (rejected - limited learning)
• Separate web application (rejected - poor integration)

Why is this the best approach?
Integrated playground provides immediate feedback and maintains context within the application.
