Sorting Algorithm Animations
« on: May 02, 2009, 08:17 AM »
These pages show 8 different sorting algorithms on 4 different initial conditions. These visualizations are intended to:

    * Show how each algorithm operates.
    * Show that there is no best sorting algorithm.
    * Show the advantages and disadvantages of each algorithm.
    * Show that worse-case asymptotic behavior is not the deciding factor in choosing an algorithm.
    * Show that the initial condition (input order and key distribution) affects performance as much as the algorithm choice.

I´ve seen several sites like this, but I personally would say the fastest of them all is in most cases the indexed radix-sort.

I've always liked this set of non-animated sorting algorithm visualisations:

Shell Sort
