Sort Algorithms 1.0
by
Martin Walfisz
pi92mw@pt.hk-r.se
Introduction
------------
SAL is a small program for animation of different sorting
algorithms. It's intended to help people understand how
sorting algorithms work.
It was made as an individual project for a class in my
university. It's copyright Högskolan Karlskrona/Ronneby
(I think) but can be spread freely for non commercial
purposes. I'd be happy to receive some comments on the
program so please send some e-mail.
It probably has lots of bugs, for one it eats memory. But
there will be NO future versions since I have lost some
of the code (.RC files). The C++ code can be obtained
on request.
It was made with Borland C++ 3.1 App. Frameworks.
Known bugs:
- Eats memory.
- Merge sort doesn't work.
- Pressing the PAUSE BUTTON after script-end halts Windows.
Press CTRL-ALT-DEL and then RETURN to end SAL.
Installation
------------
Copy all files to a single directory.
Start Windows (3.1+) and add SAL.EXE as an icon somewhere.
NOTE: The working directory MUST be the same in which the
files are in!
Running the program
-------------------
SAL is easy to use. Just select the algorithm you want to
see and press the PLAY button. A SOURCE window will appear
on your right. (Merge sort does not work I think.)
The PAUSE button pauses the sorting and you can press it
to run the algorithm one step at a time.
FAST FORWARD makes the animation run a little faster but the
difference from PLAY isn't that big.
STOP halts the algorithm and closes the SOURCE window.
Press VEKTOR to change the figures to sort.
-----------------------
Have fun and good luck!
