As a non-programmer who works in the tech industry, you just significantly demystified the concept of algorithms for me. Thank you, and well done.

Understanding how to create and optimize algorithms is the heart of coding (or software engineering as it’s called these days.) The rest is just learning the idiosyncrasies (syntax, memory management, etc.) of a particular language.

I would highly suggest recommending the book 'A Common Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms' by Jay Wengrow. It's language agnostic, and similarly explains how many algorithms like binary search work in plain language much like in this video. It was my "ah ha!" moment that no other video or book could explain clearly enough.

You explained this in the most amazing way. Thank you. I'm starting on this, there's no turning back now.

Bro... your explanations are ON POINT. I've been binge watching some of your videos as I'm looking to get into programming as a hobby and man, I constantly sit here going "aaaaaaaaaaah that makes sense!". Love your work and especially the way in which you easily get difficult ideas across.

If there are 200 pages in a dictionary and we need to find a word, the computer can do two things: First, it can find the word by starting from page 1 and looking through each page in order. Second, it can get the middle page and compare the word you are looking for to the word on that page. If the word you are looking for is on the same page, the computer can stop searching. Otherwise, it can see if the word is on left side or right side of the book, if the computer finds the word on one side then it will forget abouth the another side of the book and repeat the same steps until it finds the word, or determines that the word is not in the dictionary. There are advantages and disadvantages to both methods. If the word you are looking for is on page 1, the second method will take longer than the first method. However, if the word you are looking for is on the last page(consider), the second method will be faster. A computer scientist will decide which method to use based on the specific situation, such as the size of the dictionary, the hardware and software being used, and the specific needs of the user.

Just wanted to drop a comment and commend you on this video and the data structures one! It isn't easy for me to sit down and give full focus to tutorial/explanation videos such as this. But through your enthusiasm and editing style I was completely focused and also entertained. Well done man.

The way you explain is really easy to understand, thanks for that! It would be great if you can talk in another video of the Cracking the code interview or also get deeper practical real cases of the Big O notation

Fantastic high level explanation. Outside of the hardware, algorithms and also interfaces/protocols are the crux of all computing

Hey man, thanks for this video. It helped me overcome burnout from University's programming assessments. Fuck my profs but I would like you to create more videos on teaching stuff in the Beginners to Your level range. You're a professional at teaching, I'm impressed. Keep it up bro. Enjoy living life as a software engineer. Again, thanks for this video.

How to get deeper into a programming language? How to practically learn things like collecting the data and handling the data? How should my approach be while solving a problem? (Like, should i give attention to every single letter, its type, if it is a digit, if it is an integer or float, if its positive or negative or zero, if you do that then this happens, if you do that then that happens...etc)

Beautiful explanation! And yes lecture 3 from CS50 it's fantastic😃

Wow jus saw this video and got confidence , algorithm’s can be easy .

I'm really Impressed by your ability to explain these concepts so concisely, Thank you very much🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍👍

I wish I met your video sooner. Never really knew how to approach learning Data Structures and Algorithms but now I do. Thank you.

The way of explanation you use is really very unique and incredible.

this is one of the best beginner algorithm explanation video out here, well done 🔥

I was a little confused about this, but this easy to understand, short, concise, “nlog(n)” explanation made me understand everything I was confused about and structured it like an optimal data structure so I can learns easier. Hehehe. The question I had was when writing an algorithm do you think it’s best to start with the solution in the first check(I’ve seen ChatGPT do this) or at the end of the elif statements? Thanks! ☺️

OMG- I get my answers which are I can't find from my teacher. the question how we get what we want from code to do. the way you explain algorithms amazing. and it's just 2:10 sec and I'm really satisfied. keep it up this amazing work. can't wait to seee more from you. and also I'm write down every single thing in my notes to remind myself what code is what process is.

Plz make full playlist on KZfaq about data structures and algorithms from easy to hard level

Now this is more important to me I want more videos about dsa

Awesome Mentor ❤

David Mallan would be so proud 👏👏👏 Good job! 👍

The book page search is a clever way to explain algorithm... Very clever

I remember in one of the CS50 courses instructor said the time it takes to turn on a lamp or dropping a ball to the ground a computer than take over a billion decision that's how fast things are.

Great stuff Tomas as always!!! When are you launching your DATA STRUCTURES & ALGORITHMS course?

Loved the Data Structures Video. Can't wait to see this one :)

I Agree with this, when on college, algorithm class to rush.

I do not get non programmer types that are techs that do not get them. I mean they use a flow chart. They already use algorithms to do their jobs. Most folks have used them non formally if not formally at least once, or even made one without perhaps knowing they have.

Very clear and concise. Now back to CS50. Thank you so much!

awesomely easy to understand thank you!

Thanks so much for the very helpful explanation and information that you shared. Yes, we need more explanation and examples about Algorithms and Data Structures 😊

Lecture 0 cs50 harvard edx :) Thanks a lot for your videos.

Thanks for be so good explaining this topic, im starting my first quarter of my university and this video help me so much:)

Thank you for this. Nice and articulate and understandable! You're a good teacher.

My first video. I really enjoyed it. Im thinking of learning to code. Where would u recommend i start

best Algorithm book for beginner here..

as a programmer with 20 years of VB to C# experience, i really enjoyed this

How about based on the size of the book and the page we're looking for (say page 100), randomly opening the book at approximate page 100 (for example). From there, we can then look and ask, is this page 100? Perhaps we randomly opened the book on page 102, we only missed the correct page by 2 pages. Then only have to go backward 2 pages. That's funny, as soon as I typed this comment, as your video was running, that's exactly what you did.

This is great. Please do more. Subscribed.

Great way to explain why algorithms are important and how they function!

Make some movies where you tackle algorithm problems with steps

This is like watch Cs50 from Harvard... same exemple indeed. Great video! Exelent to get ppl excited about algorithms :)

Hi i am working in MERN stack from past 1 year. My next NEW project starts from next week and its frontend is NEXT JS and backend is NEST JS. What should be my approch to learn these stacks according to u?

Algorithms are the most important

Wow, you made this topic intro so easy to understand. I appreciate your effort and the good work you put in to make such quality works

Your explanation is good.. Thank you.

Very nicely done, thank you - more please 🙏

Man introducing these books like its his first time seeing them. Damn bro did you break into a stranger's house?

Ty for the videos!! Love this channel..... For understanding algorithms and datastructures, your last video recommended algomonster, would you say algomonster or algoexpert is better?

thanks for the informative video bro! just out of curiosity man would you ever try to work for a FAANG company? seems like you got all of the tools honestly but I know that FAANG isnt really for everybody.

Beautiful explanation. Thanks a lot

i really like your videos. I was living in London and left cuz wanted to pursue a life doing coding and becoming software engineer. I love the content and i aspire to be like you. I thought about film making but as you said probaly takes a long time. I would like to know how you starting in film making and maybe did a video into it. Anyways thanks for your context.

Would like to see algorithm and data structure implemented in real life

Hey would you recommend I take the MIT introduction to python or the cs50 introduction to python once I’m finished with cs50x?

Thank you. I learned something.

thanks for explaning good explnation. i understood really well

Better explained than most books

Yes more algorithms video.

I don't understand this, what do i need to learn or what are the prerequisites to learn algorithms?

I found you 3 days ago and have watched half your videos. I’ve got the notion comp sci course I’m about to start- huge thanks by the way. Can I get advice on something? I have no programming or coding experience. I’m an entrepreneur/ creative and recognized a niche so I want to build the software like an Asana/ notion/ Todoist with a simplified UI. What I don’t know how to do is create the visual element I want, and then have that clickable prototype able to hop into the next wireframes for the most basic form of an MVP. So my question is what other topics would you advise I learn beyond your programming course? I may end up hiring someone and outsource the MVP dev but I need to at least get a base level understanding of computer science for the future. You’ve undoubtedly had the best videos in regards to teaching a lot in an easy to understand way visually and conceptually across multiple topics.

Hey man, you could create a Discord channel for us, your followers, interact with each other! And I didn't know Python was kinda strong in Backend, I usually see opportunities with Java

I think your little brother wants his T-shirt back.

Thanks for this very informative video!

I wonder if one needs to go over the high school or university level math to learn algorithms?

I found this video over informed .I could not capture all thr information. I would need to watch it 5 more times to grasp all the info.

Bro i like your videos.Nicely done👍

Do we need to consider to some of algorithms. Because we have now kubernates so the memory is not that important or ?

Wow Great Job Man

Book Recommendation: "A Primer to the 42 Most commonly used Machine Learning Algorithms (With Code Samples)."

amazing video! could you make a video on tower of hanoi next?

Would love the basics

I have the same keyboard as you. Tape mod + cotton wool = thock :)

great explanation!

Thank you for this

Fine and clear thanks

Need more plz ❤️

would love to learn data structures from you

VIDEO ON DATA BASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

You really should do a data structure and algorithms course yourself.

So many ads….. I stop at 13:56. Came here to get motivated to continue

Thank you for everything I love recommendation tech because of that I found your video and you made my day special Thank you X infinity

Thank you for the video 🙂

Beautiful put

i need more consultations please

An algorithm is a set of steps to solve a problem with math, logic and computational direction.

This is great and all but like.. what keyboard is that?

Great Video!!!

Film a realistic Job interview. We want to see you solve interview questions in real time. Thank you. Watching from Canada

I am a 25 yr old concept artist trying to make a transition. Sad yeah but AI won't be merciful to my career in the future.. Just started coding few days ago through Cs50 when I saw your videos that it is possible to get working in 4 months. I am in week 1 of cs50 .

Would it be posible to create a socialmedia algoritms that promots or improve/incress? (self estem, creativity, curiosity, humbelness and other mental health propeties) if so why not create it with a founding from global human health. and miht it not be realy posible when we have neroulink so a computer could sens your welbeing

Great video :D

hey awsome video, i only know javascript and i am aspiring to become a web developer but i am also interested in DSA can u guide me to a DSA path or course on javascipt

i cant understand its hard

making connections

Show an example. Formula please.

I wonder if you can suggest some good python DSA courses. I'd highly appreciate that.

Is there any course available for artificial intelligence and machine learning like ossu computer science for free for 2yrs???

amazing video
