Abstract

In 1981 Ron Baecker presented the film Sorting Out Sorting at SIGGRAPH. The film utilized a number of unique animations to compare and contrast how different sorting algorithms function. Since then a multitude of systems and research projects have addressed the topic of visualizing and animating data structures, programs, algorithms, and processes. These software visualization (SV) systems [5] help students to learn how programs work, assist professional software engineers to debug and understand their code, and provide researchers with insights how to analyze and improve algorithms.
