Radix Sort
Home: | http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~lloyd/tildeAlgDS/Sort/Radix |
---|---|
Description: | HTML-based explanation and simple visualization of radix sorting. Talks about punch card sorters as a physical realization of radix sort. |
Developer: | Monash University / Lloyd Allison |
Category: | description |
Dates: | first available: 1999; last updated: unknown; last visited: 2006-04-18 |
Delivery Method: | Javascript + website |
Works: | yes |
GoodFor: | debugging |
Strengths: | has sample data set; allows custom data set; shows trace of sort as each digit is sorted |
Weaknesses: | mostly textual explanation on page -- Javascript used only to create reference implementation with trace output |
