Visualising data structures and algorithms through animation

Great idea, I checked a few. Searching for a value in an array didn't work, and then the hash table visualisation makes no sense to me at all. So overal feeling kind of meh about this

The IDE that I use is called jGRASP (https://www.jgrasp.org/) and it has a viewer that shows off the changes in data structures over time.

Here is an example.

Interesting. Are there GRASPs for other languages?

I TA'd computer science for 6 years, and this was one of my favorite websites to recommend students.

When I teach algorithms and data structures visualgo.net is one of the sites that I recommend.

However, I prefer the visualizations from USF: https://www.cs.usfca.edu/~galles/visualization/Algorithms.ht... - not as pretty but in my experience students pick up ideas from these faster.

Fantastic resource - just an FYI I just posted a 'visual' review of most of the key algorithms used in comp sci and the real world which is available here: https://photonlines.substack.com/p/visual-focused-algorithms...
