Binary Search Algorithm in 100 Seconds

[@mr.anderson5077]

Hey Jeff, Please cover all the topics from data structures and algorithm. Thanks

[@Ma1ne2]

Yes plz!

[@SheikhAmeen]

Yesss! Like this comment, get to the top!

[@auroreis2308]

Yessssss fully agree

[@flyte9844]

YES PLEASE :D

[@gopalkmrr]

Yes

[@discarded1669]

Do a series of these different Algorithms.. Helps immensely in quick revising them for tests..

[@WTHBrou]

Yes, please. I've been having a hard time implementing variations of DFS and BFS graph algos.

[@Ruf4eg]

Yes, please.

MOAR ALGORITM PLS

[@JettoDz]

Yes. A series, then put them in a playlist. CS 101. You'll get tons of students into it. I can already forsee teachers using Fireship videos as introductions for every (available) algorithm.

[@taylorcarroll6487]

More algorithms please, I was just looking this up yesterday and found this video explains it more clearly than others because you clearly explain WHY we would use this rather than just parroting how to do it out of textbook.

[@m1rac1e]

If you're a CS student/beginner learning data structures & algos for the first time, I cannot recommend "A common-sense guide to data structures & algorithms" enough. It's a textbook that is focused on explaining the base concepts in plain English to a beginner. It goes in-depth without overwhelming you. Provides exercises, examples, & diagrams. Book saved my life freshman year of CS.

I would like more algorithms because I like algorithms, but this is a hardly revolutionary video. Here's to generic praise 😂

That's a great idea you got here ...

I finished my engineering course long back, but would pay you to watch data structures and algorithms explained in such a nice way!

[@DodaGarcia]

This was so awesome, as a self-taught developer I never got to learn most theoretical things like this, and it definitely has an effect on my problem solving

[@binzek]

What a miracle. My computer science teacher taught us linear search today. And will teach binary search tomorrow. I got it easy 😊

[@Chapali9a]

Holy moly! Ive never seen anyone explain it as simple as this. Please do more data structures and algorithms stuff. Thank you

[@Chiefsosa17]

Well, I knew binary search already. But this dictionary anology was just amazing.

[@Aresous]

i think cs50 does this

[@mridulbarman027]

Need many many more videos please ❣️ Sir taught in class many times but never able to explain like this. Thank you ❤️

[@conceptioned]

More algorithms in under 100 seconds like these, please! This was explained way more succinctly than a regular class would have done.

[@jesusrojas5262]

This is the first time that I truly understood the Binary Search algorithm and how to implement it using recursion in just 2 minutes. Awesome!

[@alichamas63]

I really love these videos. My favourite dev content on KZbin. Perfect balance of knowledge, time, humour, and impact.

[@mephi5t0]

The code shown actually have a bug. When it was written back in the day it was not a problem. Now of your search array has billion elements the sum of integers may overflow and become negative. The new proper way to avoid going out of bounds of the integer to calculate mid point is int mid = low + ((high - low) / 2); This was a bug in Java for 9 years

[@Dr.Schnizzle]

This is actually really important. I’ve gotten dinged for this.

[@AkaiKnight]

To be fair, he did say the code was in JavaScript. But this is still an important insight you’re giving

[@jandresshade]

No only that, this kind of iteration is really limited in JS (in fairnes JS is not a declarative lenguaje and has the while loop for this kind of problems), you going to get a "Maximum call stack size exceeded error" before getting this bug.

[@svenniepennie4237]

@@jandresshade Why would you get a maximum call stack size exceeded error?

[@vectoralphaSec]

I don't get it. Can you explain?

[@18.j]

Love to see more algorithms videos! 👏🏻

[@heathenmonk1249]

Yes, continue with more algorithms, this was so easy to understand, thanks!

[@aschmelyun]

Definitely keep making these. I'm a full-stack developer, but missed out on a lot of the 'low-level' knowledge like algorithm design and Big O notation. This video was incredible!

[@niteshsethi4091]

Algorithm holds a massive part in today's technical world. Apart from dev tools like react, redux, and all including devops, algorithm is something we all get to ask even in interview. I appreciate the work you have done yet and doing continuously to get us know what that technology actually means and when should we have it in use. Other data structures and algorithms are welcome from my side. We all need it.

[@elijahmandeville8475]

This made more sense to me than when I learned about it during a 2 hour lecture. Would love to see algorithms more

[@abdousidiya2130]

I’d appreciate if you make a series about data structure and algorithms. Your explanation is really helpful! Thanks:)

[@sirgrem2988]

Man, you've come at a perfect timing for this one! Would love to see more about algorithms.

[@JohnSnow-gi7iv]

We need more like these algorithms

[@dz3petto100]

its amazing how most channels take almost10 minutes to explain these things and here it's done in 2 minutes.

[@alansaldivares]

This is pure gold, and yes, the crowd cries out desperately for more videos of algorithms and data structures. Keep it up man, thanks!

[@colinzollars2017]

Please do more Algorithms! I'm practicing Leetcode so this video is incredibly helpful in explanation. Time Complexities are a harder concept for me so this helped explain that a little more.

[@JoseMoreno-uc2qz]

What took my intro to data structures/algorithms professor weeks to each you succinctly explained it in less than 3 minutes. I appreciate your work a lot!

[@chiroyce]

With Jeff's videos we can speedrun learning!

[@normankidhoma9897]

Wow. The simplicity is amazing. Would love more of these. Thanks

[@multiarray2320]

next video: how to reverse a linked list.

[@Kayzewolf]

Your method of teaching both in the "to the point" time constraint and the visuals have really helped me better understand what a lengthy memorization-centric course fails to do.

[@reandov]

Hey Jeff, great video! How about a new series where you show most known algorithms in 100 seconds? That would be great!

[@shaft2112]

Four years of CompSci Degree, three years in the industry and I just got a grippy example for a recursion. Thank you a lot, Jeff!

hey this was really informative and interesting to watch all while being entertaining because of how good your animations are. please keep doing more of these 👍

[@pyanimate1493]

Hi Fireship, I am learning data structures and algorithms. Please continue. I actually like the way you simplify things.

Woah, that's pretty cool! I knew how to do it but by using a recursive function it was definitely a much different approach I hadn't seen before. Looked so much better than a binary search algorithm I had made earlier.. The explanation was so much simple and straight forward from the one in my textbook. This is absolutely amazing!

[@wizarddev3506]

Quite an interesting algorithm and certainly one important for all developers, regardless of language or field. The video explains it quite well. Keep up the good work Fireship!
