Description |
Animation of the recursion stack associated with the operation of a simple function that repeatedly divides by two until the value of one is reached. |
||||
Evaluation |
Weaknesses: Passive animation, no possibility to step line by line or step backward nor to give the input. The dark red color does not show very clearly. Good: Smooth animation makes it possible to recognize where the changes are happening. Comments: The visual presentation of the stack gets the point across that there is a stack associated with recursion, and that each function has its own values for the parameters. Not easy to follow or compelling. Meant to be used in context of lecture notes. |
