Search Engines: ranking methods & Overlap; Obfuscating email addresses


Search Engine overlap is a favorite topic, since the last of the famous 10 Steps is to try the search in another search engine. The first four of the links below deal with that and closely related topics.

The last two links deal with making an email address visible on a Web page, but hiding it from an email-address-scraper.

Sorting Algorithms, Applet Visualizations

Today was the day to discuss sorting algorithms with the students in my CS I classes.

Having a collection of applets that demonstrate some of the algorithms and their differences is always helpful. These are some of the best, IMO, and are helpful in class. They are also not a bad choice for reviewing the algorithms.

  • The xSortLab Applet
    Demonstrates each comparison and move; both sloe and fast modes. (tags: sort applet)
  • Sorting Algorithm Animations
    Can be used to view a comparison of 8 algorithms 4 different ways based on whether data is in random, ascending, or descending order, or whether are relatively few unique keys (tags: sort animation applet)
  • 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.” (tags: sort applet animation)
