Since few artist friends of mine want to learn about computer programming, thus we formed a small python learning group, we call it PyClub, in our office. Recently at our PyClub, I introduced some sorting algorithms by demonstrating with poker cards. It’s especially fun for all of us to sort a deck of cards manually with quicksort algorithm, and we all felt the power of divide-and-conquer at that moment!
However, the pseudo codes are not easy for my artist friends to memorize the algorithms, so I tried to find some other resources about the visualization of sorting algorithms. The whole process is like treasure hunting and I really find several interesting stuffs I’ve never seen before.
Visualization of sorting algorithm
The Sound of Sorting
What does the sorting sound like!! This demo is so creative!
Quicksort folk dancing!
Here are other references of sorting algorithms:
- Sorting Algorithm Animations
- Sorting Algorithm Visualization (contains algorithm implementation with python)
