Lec 14 | MIT 6.00 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming, Fall 2008

[@RichardSmart]

Love the way they reduce bewildering terms to basic logical statements applied to simple postulates that anyone who concentrates can follow. just as with programming you can't assume anything is 'in memory' until you've put it there yourself. The same goes for human brains - you can't use the concepts of object, method, class etc in a students brain until you've used your teaching program to write those concepts into them. Complexity is just lots and lots and lots of simple stuff.

and not only there is excellence of the profs and material, but the profs are so personable, likable characters. thank you MIT.

[@msven]

Awesome lectures as always....So much better than the intro to CS classes I am taking now..

[@jeffinfinney]

@4:45 , The scientists have made tree and its roots. Roots always divide and go below. So rather than thinking as leaves , it is better to think as roots. Btw, Im much grateful for the lectures provided, it is the best ones available.

[@srosell100]

33:20 in other words, use stack overflow whenever you can

[@Akavall]

I need this stuff for my research, but it is not taught at my institution. Thank you so much MIT!

[@leonjones7120]

I have a block with OOP with C++. Hope its better explained here!

[@leonjones7120]

I guess this series of lectures is pitched at the first-year degree / or in the U.K would say is H.N.D level. It is good!!! I can take in 2 lectures per day. No rush!!!

[@amoghdadhich9318]

Correct me if I'm wrong but technically don't the bits needed to represent a number grow logarithmic-ally ? For example 2^n needs n+1 bits to be represented.

[@aerofart]

While there is much discussion about the details of complexity, I am not getting a sense that a frame of time has been given for when these tools and methods are most useful, and how their utility varies over the course of the application development lifecycle.

[@aerofart]

Would it not be possible to determine a complexity factor or Order by running a series of pre-established data types and set size designed to characterize the program complexity?

[@aerofart]

IMHO, I would not have the creative flow encumbered by the details of complexity in my code. Let your code flow - like an outline to a book, at first - then worry about the complexity and optimization details once you have something you like.

[@arcadeportal32]

Reminds me on how GML script works using instances, and self contained data :P

[@adiflorense1477]

23:36 what is Pi stand for?

[@lemn1sk856]

the price/value of each item

[@ETatArea51]

I only watch for the candy :p

[@shivanshumishra7613]

Did you got one ;)

[@sasisarath8675]

34:28 python OOP

[@tobalaba]

thanks

[@wasim_thetechguy]

Fantastic

[@سندسفرجالصغير]

Thanks for make this taturial 🥰

[@vibol03]

MIT i wanna go to that school so bad

[@ncckdr]

thinks sir i like u are lectur

[@Grasshoppa065]

True, but just as a hobby, not if they're actually trying to be productive.

[@brainstormingsharing1309]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@fartzy]

O (ns) is quadratic not exponential. So he made an exponential problem a quadratic one, why did he say its still exponential.

[@Jegan0369]

@ultimateZigzag . Who cares if they teach on blackboards? As long as the students understand the lesson it doesn't matter...

[@eliotball]

yeah

[@gogetasaiyan5756]

Same for me.

[@arcadeportal32]

Interesting! :P

[@Grasshoppa065]

Don't you love how we have all these "real" computer geeks who are PC fanboys who make claims like "people who know about computers use PC's." And here you have an MIT computer science professor using a Mac. Priceless. Macs are the best.

[@zombiesalad2722]

But can it run Crysis?

[@red94mr28]

Because Apple gives them massive discounts.

[@SAMARTBO]

can we using something else not math to apply code when we learn coding :D lol

[@yyguuyg]

wut

[@usmanyaqoob6369]

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@ultimateZigzag]

Even MIT professors are still teaching programming on blackboards. -.- They should know how to use computers.

[@yyguuyg]

lol, you kids think computers are better at doing everything. he's trying to communicate complex ideas, so using a blackboard is a more versatile tool. for example, he can draw diagrams etc without having to open a different program. imagine trying to demonstrate a decision tree using a word processor... your thinking is simple-minded and uncreative, which makes me think that programming is definitely not your thing

[@red94mr28]

You're really a rookie. If you go into any development area of a company, you'll find many, many whiteboards and dry erase markers that developers are sketching out problems or designing. It's not the tools, it's the information.

[@sasisarath8675]

Computers, We don't need computers where we are going. We got blackboards.

[@Rhysinator19]

POO!

[@javedkhan0258]

My uni's Lecturer is better than this Guy, My uni is Called RMIT
