Data structures like Trie can in Python be easier understood and debugged after visualization using the memory_graph package.

A Trie is a tree of dictionaries and can be used for things like word completion.

Data structures become much easier to understand when students can see the structure of their data visualized using memory_graph. A data structure is no longer an abstract idea but concrete, clear and debuggable. Here’s a live demo of a Linear Linked List: https://memory-graph.com/#codeurl=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fbterwijn%2Fmemory_graph%2Frefs%2Fheads%2Fmain%2Fsrc%2Flinked_list_lin.py&breakpoints=27&continues=1&timestep=0.2&play=

Understanding and debugging Python data structures gets easier with memory_graph visualization. Here's a Multiway Tree example. A Multiway Tree is similar to a Binary Tree but has an arbitrary number of children making the tree less deep and more efficient.

Teaching and learning Python bitwise operators gets much easier after showing the binary representations of integers using memory_graph: bitwise operators in Memory Graph Web Debugger

Understanding of the inverse ~ operator is helped by showing the two’s complement representation.

Some struggle with recursion, but as package invocation_tree visualizes the Python call tree in real time, it gets easy to understand what is going on and to debug any remaining issues.

See this one-click Quick Sort demo in the Invocation Tree Web Debugger.
