Description |
A very simple visualization that explains the basic concept of the heap data structure. It has a Next, Insert, Delete etc buttons like any other visualization. It has message box that keeps showing you what to do in every step. They also give a detailed instructions of the color terminology that they use in their visualization to run the heap data structure. The animations are simple. The user can press finish to complete inserting elements into the heap. |
||||
Evaluation |
The visualization is intuitive and simple. The message box is helpful for a fresh user to quickly get used to the visualization. The Finish and the Reset buttons were confusing initially. The explanations were very brief and did not explain operations in detail. The AV does not allow you to enter more than 2 digits and once you enter 2 digits you cannot erase the number, which is slightly irritating at time, but over all its a very simple AV to describe heap data structure. The animation portion needs speed control since it often feels too slow. It can be tedious to build up a heap. |
