3.4 DESIGN FLOW:
In this approach, an Agile methodology is used to develop the e-commerce website. It's more iterative
and flexible.
Requirements Gathering: Start by identifying high-level requirements, but don't aim for complete,
detailed specifications upfront.
MVP (Minimum Viable Product) Development: Begin by developing a basic version of the
website with core features. This allows for a quicker launch to the market, which can help validate
the business idea.
Sprint Development: Use short development cycles or sprints (typically 2-4 weeks) to add features
and improvements. Prioritize features based on customer feedback and business impact.
Continuous Testing and User Feedback: Testing and gathering user feedback occur throughout
the development process, not just at the end. This allows for rapid adjustments.
Release and Iterate: After each sprint, release updates to the live website. This continuous release
and iteration process helps to keep the website relevant and responsive to user needs.
Scale and Optimize: As the website gains users and feedback, scale the infrastructure as needed
and optimize based on performance data.

4.1. Conclusion
The comparative visualization of sorting algorithms for enhanced efficiency illuminates the diverse
strategies and trade-offs inherent in various sorting methods. By examining the time and space
complexities, it becomes evident that no single algorithm universally outperforms others in all
scenarios. Instead, each algorithm showcases strengths and weaknesses, making them suitable for
specific data types, sizes, or contextual requirements. This comparative analysis underscores the
importance of selecting the most suitable sorting algorithm based on the unique characteristics of the
dataset and the desired outcomes. It emphasizes the significance of understanding algorithmic
efficiency to make informed choices in optimizing performance and resource utilization in different
sorting scenarios. Ultimately, the visualization serves as a valuable guide for algorithm selection,
