Description |
Stepwise operation, informational messages describe what is happening. Only the built-in dataset is available. He calls it "counting sort" but it shows the process of doing one pass of an array-based radix sort on one digit. |
||||
Evaluation |
Despite the garish color scheme, this is almost a good visualization. The explanations for what is going on are fairly clear, with a step-by-step progression under user control. The problems are that the animation speed (each step is a mini-animation) is too slow, without any speed control, and the message about what is actually happening gets clobbered at the end of the step. So while the user can control the step progression, within the step there is no sense of control. |
