Abstract

Sorting algorithms are a well-known part of the curriculum in programming courses in the academia. They are taught not only because their numerous applications in practice, but also because they are a good and a comprehensive introduction to the topic of computer algorithms. However, theasymptotic notationused to describe algorithm complexity is not intuitive for beginners. A visual tool that demonstrates both the algorithm’s steps and its time complexity makes the abstract notionasymptotic notationmore intuitive, and can improve the learning curve of the students.
