Abstract

We address the conceptual problem of how to visualize computer science algorithms by describing the hashing algorithm part of a large scale project focusing on algorithm animation for computer science education. We concentrate on the two tasks of how to visualize data objects and operations on those objects and illustrate our findings by discussing extensive examples of hashing animations. We also describe how to visualize algorithm analysis and outline the scripting facility to support the generation of hashing animations.
