Description

The page shows three AVs to illustrate quicksort. The first is a standard bar display. The partitions being processed are not well delimited, so one really only sees some bars being swapped around. The second AV shows what happens to a sorted list. The third shows a dot array as another view of what is happening.

Evaluation

This visualizations are fairly incomprehensible. They give an impression for how different parts of the file are processed, but it do a poor job of explaining to a student how Quicksort operates. Not sure how this would even be useful to an instructor during a lecture.

HowToUse

The link is to a page containing three applets. The limited controls should be fairly clear.
