The Sounds of Sorting Algorithms

(1/2) > >>

DJPhil:
I found this kicking around the internet and thought you guys might dig it. Someone made a youtube video of different sorting algorithms in action using audio to demonstrate the sweeping through of the array.



(Don't have your speakers cranked when you visit, you'll regret it)

It explains a lot just seeing them work, very hypnotic.

Edit: Added Heap Sort, same author.

Simon:
interesting

David:
I wrote a C program at Univeristy to compare several different sorting algorithms including bubble sort, Quicksort, Knuth binary tree and pigeon hole. I may upload the program if anyone is interested.

EEVblog:
Neat!
Who hasn't played with sort algorithms at some point?

Dave.

mikeselectricstuff:
I bet you could do something interesting by deriving sounds from a PCB autorouter routing a complex PCB.
Maybe some tearing noises when it rips up  tracks, 'bumps' when it finds a dead end, shuffling when traces are pushed etc...
