DEVELOPMENT OF AN APPLET TO SUPPORT THE LEARNING OF SORTING ALGORITHMS

Resumo

This paper has the objective of proposing a learning object for simulating sorting algorithms, implemented with java applets, which provides interactive, didactic and easy handling to teachers, students and to the community that may be interested in algorithms learning. With this dynamic material it is possible to improve the learning process of the sorting algorithms, because it is possible to see the sequence of operations performed in an interactive form, as well as to check this efficiency.
