Sorting Algorithms Demo:

"We all know that Quicksort is one of the fastest algorithms for sorting. It's not often, however, that we get a chance to see exactly how fast Quicksort really is. The following applets chart the progress of several common sorting algorithms while sorting an array of data using in-place algorithms. This means that the algorithms do not allocate additional storage to hold temporary results: they sort the data in place. (This is inspired by the algorithm animation work at Brown University and the video Sorting out Sorting By Ronald Baecker from the University of Toronto (circa 1970!).) "

"A group of about forty people from the community kindly donated their time to help me port the copyedited version of the book from Word documents into this Wiki. Each person who helped added a PortedBy attribute to acknowledge their work. Thank you very much for the help - we ported a 400 page book into Wiki form in under a week, friends!"
