Eagerly following your DSA playlist. 4 hours of video exploring the binary search is just awesome and I don't see this anywhere else. Can't believe this is a free stuff. Thanks a lot for your efforts! Subscribed :)

Never seen or heard about these open source programmes for working professionals or students, thanks to poor literacy of some so called educators , now I have *KUNAL* as a friend...this makes my working life so much easier! ❤️
