Description

Simple visualization for the Binary Search Algorithm (BST) with only continuous mode operation. The user can enter the array size, push the create button to build a random array of that length, enter some number to search and then start a simple animation by clicking the search button. The binary search algorithm is only represented by a simple array. It doesn’t allow users to step through the visualization at user’s own speed or with controls. The visualization automatically step through the Binary search algorithm. Data set is randomly generated by AV and the range of the input size is from 3 to 19.

Evaluation

No explanation for what is happening. All that happens during the animation is that values in the array turn a different color when they are visited. This makes it hard to understand the process.
