Thank for the great lesson I'm writing from Mozambique.❤

[@JaimeGuajardo]

Plain awesomeness.

[@UltimateUniverse]

When he says "hugely important" when referring to the molecularity of classes, (35:20) the subtitles incorrectly say "usually Important."

[@arantebw]

MIT OpenCourseWare, thank you!

[@serdard]

Great lesson. Thank you

[@teledynepost]

qwaza07: yes. apparently they do this in EVERY lecture (of this course)

[@سندسفرجالصغير]

Thanks for make this taturial

This is a perfect example where people use object oriented programming incorrectly. The same example (minus the graph) can be written using a simple if/elif/elif/else statement in a loop that either increments of decrements one of two numbers. The example is long-winded and takes way too long to get the point. I pray no one designs code by picking out the nouns and thinking it will map perfectly into the problem domain. Geesh.

Sadly, I just got a a homework assignment based on this (fog.ccsf.edu/~dputnam/cs131b/14/week14.16.lab.html), except I'm supposed to figure out how to make a 2D random walk. I've been trying to look up how but the best I've found is this (www.codespeedy.com/random-walk-program-in-python/), which doesn't map up exactly. The way it's done here is either 1) overengineered for a simple random walk but the modularity is necessary for something more complex (or at least to ease debugging), or 2) it's a Goldbergian mess the teacher doesn't notice because he's so into computational logic.

@pryorka82 There is always somebody predicting a crash, and some people just a happen to get it right, ..sometimes..randomness. Austrian economists were wrong plenty of times. Dr. Guttag is exactly right about the stock market :).

I have heard of this before, but I thought it would be uninteresting, but it is interesting.

wow i miss the professors

20/20 hindsight.

21:04 can someone tell me how the four words (Location, Compass, Field, Drunk) can be a class each?

[@BVaibhav-mt8jx]

this is good torture !

[@noname-uf7zw]

The drunk will stay at the same place because he will fall

[@ДімаКрасько-с7м]

Tried to install matplot using pip and discovered that all get-pip.py for Python 2.5 dont work(even viewed links from 2008 to 2012). When i try to install matplot without pip it gives errors. It's easy to install for later versions of Pyhton, but i cant do nothing with this. Help, please

ImportError: No module named pylab

[@Hotheaddragon]

you must be using python 3+ download matplotlib and use import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

[@zwaywoo9494]

12:44 I say he'll be in jail or hospital...

This is a solitary alcoholic 😂

Hey buddy hate to rain on your high school parade but 50,000.00 per year is a hell of a lot of money. Best of luck

See matplotlib.org/ and the course on MIT OpenCourseWare ( ocw.mit.edu/6-00F08 ) for more details. Best wishes on your studies!
