Abstract
In order to design and write effective, robust code using advanced
data structures, it is crucial to achieve a thorough understanding of the
algorithms used to manipulate these structures. One means of accomplishing the
task is to provide students with a graphical, animated system that allows
users to observe changes that the structure undergoes while it is being used.
One such system has been developed which demonstrates B-Trees. Some
preliminary testing is complete and some initial reactions of the students who
have tried the system are outlined.
