| Abstract |
|
Algorithm visualization aims to facilitate the
understanding of algorithms by using graphics and
animation to reify the execution of an algorithm on
selected input data. However, many current
visualization techniques suffer from a variety of
problems, such as lack of focus, presentation at a
single level of abstraction, and concentration on low-level
steps rather than on high-level properties such as
invariants.
In this paper, we present a new approach to
learning algorithms that aims to overcome these
drawbacks. An algorithm is explained at various levels
of abstraction. Each level is designed to present a
single operation used in the algorithm. Operations are
shown in a textual form of a pseudocode, but there is
also an associated visualization.
