A good solution for two sum is two pointers. We have a variable init to 0 to track current total. Left and right variables track from the start and end of the array. We check if left index element + right element index == sum, if so return it and break out of the function. If not We use a while loop, while total != sum and conditionals that ask if total is > or < sum. If > move the right pointer to the left and if < move left pointer to the right. Either we get a match for sum via two indices or If we check the entire array and there's no match, have a return outside the while loop to return a meaningful message to the user.

would've have been more interesting, if you asked them to just walk it through instead of writing code. This way you can find people who have no clue of coding but have natural design/engineering skills. This would also require you to re-arrange the question for better understanding. Cool :D

[@WoWkiddymage]

That's kinda hard if you don't really understand the basic ruleset that programming provides (ways data/variables are stored, and ways to compare them). But I also think it would be a really good idea.

My .02

[@minhuang8848]

@@WoWkiddymage But that's the point, everyone does coding. Everyone who has learned how to manually calculate the root of a given number is pretty much primed to code in their heads, programming is just an abstraction layer to offload strict calculations while the programmer conceptualizes the steps. And yeah, definitely a dope idea, anything to get people involved who didn't think they were suited for it. Maybe some kind of paid bootcamp next where people just get money for learning a basic curriculum, that'd be fun too.

[@WoWkiddymage]

@@minhuang8848 What I'm saying is that these algorithm-based questions are created with restraints that you only understand if you have programmed before. Yes, coding/programming is "just" an abstraction but that is often the difficult part about it. Putting these concepts into the limits of programming data structures and being restricted by time complexities. I think the general idea of pattern recognition/problem solving that is similar to the coding question would create a cool sort of puzzle, but then that would be a totally different type of analysis of the problem if you don't include the ruleset that programming provides. You would basically have to teach someone all the basics of programming to see if they understand how to fit a problem into the constraints that programming provides.

[@WoWkiddymage]

Also, I'm not saying it wouldn't be a good idea. I think it would be really cool to tickle people's brains on the subject. I just think that the implementation of this kind of "social experiment" would be quite difficult, it would cost a lot of effort on the participants not previously understanding the limitations. Who knows though, there might be some cool ways to implement this idea...

The hashmap is definitely more complicated in terms of basic operations that would need to be understood, but in code it is all abstracted away and then using the hashmap will end up with cleaner code than the other method that has the same time complexity but only works on a more constrained problem.

I would never thought of using a hashmap and exceptions to solve the last one. All that was needed was two pointers, one starting in the beginning and the other at the end, keep checking the sum and move the appropriate pointer if the sum if bigger or smaller than the target.

[@user-fd8nj6tx8f]

it can be done only on sorted array so complexity is O(nlogn). Using hashmap u have O(n) but also same memory complexity

[@flavorlessquark8614]

@@user-fd8nj6tx8f I think the leetcode one times you out if you use the naive approach, if he the guy in the video had done it on leetcode he probably remembers doing it that way because that's a way that will get your answer validated

[@Vikas_Kumar_Singh]

@@flavorlessquark8614 yep and since its the first code on leetcode I think the average coders might have already solved it since when they teach DSA in courses they try combination sum as the first question to solve usually

[@yueruan1672]

What camera are you using for the end segment 6:30 . The video quality is awesome

[@Kabeer2004]

the way i thought of doing the twosum question after you explained it was to have two for loops (like a nested loop) so the outer loop will pick one number at a time from the array and then with the inner one you check the sum with every other element except itself to see if you can get the sum and if sumarray==sum then you can easily print the numbers because you already have their indexes from the for loop can be implemented in any popular language of course taking the sum and subtracting each element and then checking for the difference in the array was an interesting approach to me very cool video :) subbed

[@DogeMultiverse]

in this case, the array is sorted. so you don't actually need to double loop through every element in the array. as long as the sum is bigger than the target sum, you can skip the 2nd level loop

[@Kabeer2004]

@@DogeMultiverse you're right didnt think of that

[@ferociousfeind8538]

@@DogeMultiverse is there a guarantee that any given array will be sorted...?

[@amatera2]

So the thing is, the solution you thought of definitely works, and it's even the first solution most people would think of. But the problem with it is that it doesn't scale well. If you have an array with a million elements, then you'll need to do a million comparisons and that's just for the first element. On the second one you will do a million - 1 comparisons and so on and so forth. It's perfectly acceptable with a small input but when the array becomes very large running it this way becomes very time consuming, as opposed to the hash map method where you only need to do, at most, a million operations in this example since you only iterate over the array once. This is an entire topic called "Time Complexity" and it's quite important to keep in mind if your use case requires super efficient code.

[@crayder1100]

I wanna agree with that fella at the end, programming is an essential skill. People use the skills needed for programming all the time already. But learning programming languages, efficiently writing algorithms, learning how to best store information, etc, all of these surprisingly make thinking and processing information easier for me. I don't know how to explain it. Which brings up a good side point, I SUCK at explaining things. But thinking about things in a programming sense helps with that too.

[@PySnek]

You also need the skill of plumbing every day to take a shit on your toilet, or the skill of an electrician, to give power to your computer. Today everyones flying, do you also need to know the basics of operating an airbus or boeing airliner? You wear clothes everyday... why don't you learn how to sew and manufacture shoes, pants, jackets? Life's short, people are into different things. Not everyone want's to learn how to code, or how hardware works. Most people don't even understand, how a car motor runs, or how we breath with our lungs in detail. Do you know, how to help a woman giving birth? This should be an essential skill in my opinion. Nothing's more essential, than the creation of a new human beeing.

​@@PySnekDude, chill out. Programming is a more valuable work than making clothes just from the fact that its used in more than 100 careers for various stuff. If you don't like it, don't learn. But denying it's importance shows how immature you are 😂

[@Webberjo]

I would've done that last one using using two for loops. Not elegant, but effective.

[@nicreven]

The funny thing about C is that the "sum of a matrix" problem can just be done like for(int i = 0; i < length; i++) sum += matrix[i]; since matrices are almost the exact same as 1d arrays

[@bultvidxxxix9973]

That depends on how the matrix was created. If the matrix is a jagged array you'll just sum up the pointers with that code.

[@sonikblade]

The C# programmer was cut out of the video in the twosum equals 9 problem, cause Kenny gave him the prize instantly the moment he saw Foreach written in the whiteboard.

[@sneak9407]

Yep, it's foreach has worse performance than regular for loops. No need to let people see that solution and start considering it a good approach.

@@sneak9407 I garantee you that the whiteboard would not have enough RAM for any of both approaches

I would answer this question like a true data scientist. Using matrix multiplication: for the matrix A you could consider the quadratic form e⊤Ae, where e is the column vector whose entries are all 1's.
