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
