Abstract

SRec is an animation system of recursion intended to assist in algorithm courses. We present the main contributions of version 1.1. First, SRec fully supports any kind of recursion. Second, it provides three additional graphical representations for divide-and-conquer algorithms. Finally, it is highly interactive to promote an exploratory style of learning.
