Description

Presents a slideshow walking through an example of Shell Sort. Includes pseudocode.

Evaluation

This presentation fails to get across the fundamental concepts behind Shell Sort. It won't help students to understand what is happening. This wouldn't even be useful as a class lecture aid, since it doesn't properly illustrate the idea of breaking the list into sublists.

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.
