Description

Simple presentation for linear search. User selects an array size and it is loaded with random data. The search process merely colors the values in the array sequentially one at a time from the front until the value is found or array exhausted.

Evaluation

AV is simple and easy to use. There is no control over the animation once started, i.e. once we press the “Search” button it will show the scan progressing through the array by means of change in color of the array’s elements and that finishes whenever it finds the target element or at the end element of the array.

Description

A small example of sequential search. Presented as a series of slides, with pseudocode. Examples are given for both successful and unsuccessful search.

Evaluation

Not a compelling presentation, especially considering how simple this algorithm is. The variables on the right side are not integrated with the action in the array.

HowToUse

For detailed instructions on how to install Animal and run Animal AVs, see: http://www.algoanim.info/Animal2/?q=node/290. Once you have installed the Animal .jar file and downloaded/unpacked the .zip file of Animal animations, you are now ready to run Animal. Run the .jar file to start Animal. Then go to the "Open" menu item, and browse to where you put the animal animations you got in the .zip file. Pick this AV from the list. You can then step through the animation, or use "kiosk mode" to have the steps fed to you at a constant pace.
