Description

Presents a slideshow walking through an example of heapsort. Includes pseudocode tied to the presentation and duel views of the array and tree representations.

Evaluation

Good, clear presentation. Animation for swaps is well done, you see the swap without it being a tedious, slow nuisance. The major deficiency of this presentation is that it needs some explanation as the visualization is progressing of the idea that the heap is first built, and then unloaded.

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.
