      Awesome GIF explaining visually how common sort algorithms work and how their performance differs.

        Sadly this is an MP4 so can't just embed it, but well worth viewing.

        That's pretty cool!

          It's extremely handy for CS students to quickly see how the sort algorithms work. A great idea.

            Managed to get it converted to a GIF with Zamzar. No need to go anywhere else now.

                Great find, that is incredibly useful.

                  Ah, so it's showing how long it takes in relation to the others? That's a great visual.

                    Yes, you can see how long the sorts take given different sorting methods as well as with different starting points (different algorithms work better or worse with different types of data) and you can see it working it through so that you can somewhat tell how the algorithm is doing the sort as it goes. It's a little too fast to do that well, though. I wish that it was a little slower.
