Abstract

The role of animation in understanding and evaluating programs and developing new programs is discussed. A framework for algorithm animation, called Tango, and a system based on that framework are introduced. Related work is reviewed, and the conceptual framework on which Tango is based is examined. The implementation of the Tango system is described. The first-fit bin-packing algorithm is animated to illustrate how the path-transition paradigm simplifies algorithm animation.>

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
