Description

Part of the Swan distribution. User selects an array size, and then is taken step by step through the process of heapsort. Simultaneous view of the array and the tree representations with color coding for the nodes being processed.

Evaluation

Generally clear presentation. Showing step by step what happens is good, but it would be better if there were a panel showing a series of messages rather than only showing the current action. Users cannot enter their own data values. They select an array size and then random values are generated.
