The Last Algorithms Course You'll Need by ThePrimeagen | Preview

[@keithprice1950]

It's a bit weird seeing him so calm and serious.

[@peanutcelery]

Right? I didn’t even recognize him in the intro

[@MattRose30000]

I wanna see a PrimeReacts to this video

[@sunraiii]

But at times you can tell that he can't contain the chaotic engery :D:D

[@rahulspoudel]

Primegen in some alternate universe

[@pointer333]

100% hahah

[@RyanMartinRAM]

Prime is one of the most inspirational programmers I've ever had the privilege of interacting with.

[@mikelk124]

I'd say as a teacher he has the tendency of all talented ppl in their fields and has a little trouble relating to the noob, but comparing these lectures to the ones on the same topics in uni--pretty fascinating. Primeagen is a worse teacher but an overall much more interesting speaker. X factor.

[@mabillama]

The longer the video goes, the closer he gets to his streaming persona! Great instructor

[@shm236]

I see ThePrimeagen in his hoodie but I hear Dr. Prime. He's the CS prof I wish I had.

[@decoyslois]

Describing big O as ‘categorisation’ is simultaneously so obvious and so immensely helpful. I’m going to use that when explaining it to others, thank you.

[@jaydeep-p]

Sounds like if the naughty kid had to give a corporate presentation.

[@scoutiano4441]

I kept thinking this is a meme and it's gonna go south at any point

[@MatheusOliveira-er4gq]

😂

[@toup0]

1:48 He only knows performance. Opposite of performance is not in his vocabulary :D That's how we know him. Keep it up Prime!

[@es7729]

Good one 🤣🤣

[@rand0mtv660]

I love that he is staying true to himself and wears a hoodie.

[@Microphunktv-jb3kj]

i dont trust any coder who doesnt wear one ;d

[@gregorywpower]

Unfortunately not as joyfully unhinged as he typically is. It’s ludicrously informative and ThePrimeagen’s teaching style is great.

[@Brainiac5]

Imagine if he taught classes the way he did with his streams 😆was crazy that I was hoping for that haha

[@noisycarlos]

"I teach on Windows!! I teach on Windows... Shut up!!"

[@RogerBarraud]

Me too 🙂

[@liu-river]

It's still him, just a diluted version, I still love it.

[@prerit714]

CHAD i3 user with neovim greatness great to see prime in prime

[@andreasschau4215]

Not even Neo could have learned this as blazingly fast as i just did!

[@mi_zot]

I cannot believe you have this course up on your website for free

[@TomoFromEarth]

Such a pleasure to listen to people who are great at what they do explain topics like this. 🤙🏼👍🏼

[@m1kr0kosmos]

Oh snap I think this is the last algorithms course I will ever need!

[@quantumastrologer5599]

edit: I might not like all his content but this guy among a few others probably inspired a generation worth of people to try programming. Also: vanilla i3, so based

[@RictorScale]

Definitely inspired me to learn vim 2 years ago :D

[@DMSBrian24]

vanilla i3 is unusable, gotta change those motions to vim keys

[@MakeItStik]

Frontend Masters are the only ones who could control his chi

[@marwanfikrat7716]

Big fan of prime and this preview sold it to me. Will be taking this course, thanks for sharing and thanks to prime for doing this

[@nad9969]

Loving the system 76 lappy running PopOS!

[@sebastiaanstoffels7565]

I feel this could use more coconut oil

[@vaayuo]

Its weird seeing prime so calm and well adjusted

[@snivels]

You can actually use javascript maps to lookup something unique by the object reference. Just set the key to the object in question, and the unique value to the value

[@tourdesource]

Do you even work at NETFLIX? Yeah, didn't think so.

[@snivels]

@@tourdesource what has that got to do with anything?

[@tourdesource]

​@@snivels It's a joke related to the instructor, not really worth explaining. No disrespect meant.

[@tourdesource]

​@@snivels You're absolutely right about map accepting objects as unique keys, btw.

[@snivels]

@@tourdesource haha sorry, hard to read humour these days on the net. I see what you meant now, I'm reading what you said in Primeagen's voice 😂

[@skypuff]

It is indeed the last one you'll need 🙏🔥. It's a really good course.

[@Frawkesish]

Right on "queue" KZbin algorithm... 😅 I have been watching a lot of his videos as I'm learning to program in hopes that I'll slowly start understanding wth he's talking about and now I can learn it directly from him..

[@craigdanielmaceacher]

I scanned ahead to see if they made him use VS Code for this 😂

[@RootsterAnon]

this man... give this man a cookie!

[@greendsnow]

This is what professional voice-over sounds like.

[@kevinb1594]

As far as unique values in Javascript, isn't that what Symbols are for?

[@strager_]

I think you could use a Symbol to store your own object ID. Good idea! One minor problem is that this consumes memory. ☹

[@towatch]

noway! this will be incredible

[@w00td00t]

He gives me the same feeling i get when I see my gta online character in a cutscene

[@alamba78]

If Will Sentance did an algorithms course, it would be 🔥. Prime's bubble sort lecture probably could have been smoother. But, I'm sure it'll pick up after that.

[@zwillx3953]

Isn't it a mistake? He's checking j vs j not j vs i. Lol

[@alamba78]

⁠​⁠@@zwillx3953while his method of explaining is a bit confusing, it actually works because here he is using i to keep track of the sorted element and j and j+1 are doing the comparison and swap. So, when i = 0, you go into the inner loop of j and compare that first element with every subsequent element and keep bubbling the higher value to the end. Then i increments by 1 which takes the sorted element at the end of the array out of the comparison and swap being done in the inner j loop since that is already sorted from the previous iteration and again you go into the inner j loop and do the comparison and swap all the way through bubbling the higher value to the end. This continues till you satisfy the condition of the outer i loop. Hope it makes sense. Best thing is to write it down with a sample unsorted array of numbers and manually walk through the algorithm and writing the new array at each step. You will understand it better that way.

[@nick_yt3962]

@@zwillx3953can I please have your logins to the course…it’s quite expensive from my part of the world.

[@phantombeing3015]

​@zwillx3953 it's right. You probably mean selection sort

[@Thundechile]

Prime should do all his videos like this.

[@tayebeckford5014]

Prime would be the coolest teacher ever

[@chaknithbin6322]

I have a question on the the video 'Implementing Two Crystal Balls.' If we do sqrt(n), it seems like there will be instances where we fail to find it? For example, 1-1000 floors. Then we try at 100 and it breaks. With 1 crystal we do 1-100. Then we try at 10 and it breaks. Now we have 1-10 that we are not sure of. Will this invalidate the whole idea?

[@Владислав-е6щ9ъ]

But are any of those algorithms blazingly fast?

[@GOTHICforLIFE1]

I love that he is cursed with his coding speed. "You just have to write it * Proceeds to do his vim magic * Talking to a class of students; "Alright hopefully you've written that down" No.. Not everyone is a vim ninja xD

[@cmdaltctr]

This is real course right? I am confuse. He is very calm. The backgound music too.

[@mycommentmyopinion]

Yes, it's a preview of his algorithm course on frontendmasters

[@JohnSmith-op7ls]

You know you’re only here because you’re interview prepping and know you’ll never actually need to code any of these algos, ever.

[@aBradApple]

Just started programming. The amount of content I had to research to understand this lecture took me over an hour of reading and another hour of messing around in the editor to feel comfortable. Still don't get why .hasOwnProperty does not satisfy the consistent hash argument, but the lessons I've learned from rewatching this a couple times have me asking a lot of questions about everything I write now.

[@Abu_Shawarib]

I just finished the course, pretty nice and short. Although I had a similar course in collage, we didn't delve into few things like heaps and hash maps.

[@jugzster]

Not even one mention of Juh-SON and JSML? Still love the informative and entertaining video from the Prime himself!

[@RogerBarraud]

JDSL FTW!!!11! (NOT!) 🙂

[@vitalyl1327]

Cache locality enters the chat: now, forget everything you've just learned!

[@tourdesource]

Cold hard cache rules the world.

[@youtindia]

I can't take him seriously without him flipping the hell out within 2-3 minutes of a video.

[@tufflax]

4:18 O(2N) and O(N) is the same, so it's wrong to say "It's not O(2N), it's not that at all".

[@motsyrhc7436]

the fact he's so happy and calm is truly scary to me

[@HyperFocusMarshmallow]

Saying that Big Oh is a way to categorize programs is probably quite useful for programmers. Might be worth noting that it’s a quite simple mathematical concept defined in terms of a limit. It’s very useful for describing asymptotic behavior of functions generally, not just in programming.

[@nikkehtine]

Watching his videos for so long where he's joking and yelling so much, and then hearing him dead serious, is the best way to show what cognitive dissonance feels like

[@JT-mr3db]

Kept waiting for.. “Gotem”!

[@boredomsoup]

Always wanted to study data structures from Dr.Disrespect

[@duanebuell7055]

Alright. You sold me. I'll buy this course... for free. Thanks!

[@stumblinzz]

It would be great if portions of each video were available even if it was 1-3 minutes of each. The reason I say this is because I usually use that as my "floober doober" test to see whether the video will be cohesive, I'll be able to follow it, or if it will be floober doober material. I expect Prima to have pristine content, but I also don't know if I'd be able to digest that content. Most sites offer a free trial but really what I'm looking to do is see how much of Frontend Masters would stick if I subscribed.

[@thefaisman8956]

This course is free bro

[@techlifejournal]

It is weird why he is so calm 😂

[@jrhager84]

My boy Prime! Love it!

[@jonathansequeira5025]

Yeah imma need this

[@mikelk124]

wot. is this for real? great break down of big o and very smart to introduce that concept early.

[@mikelk124]

whoa, actually registered and this is sick. I love how you made fun of javascript in the beginning of the video because I am a new learner and java paladin.

[@mikelk124]

As a level 1 java paladin these videos do not disappoint. All the subtle jabs at javascript muwahaha. I never thought Id be marathoning videos on datastructures FOR FUN but here I am. Thank you

[@ih8tusernam3s]

Algo's are cool and all, but what keeb?

[@Brlitzkreig]

So relatable

[@charlescoult]

What about dynamic programming? Shouldn't that be in an algorithms course?

[@TheJukerson]

For the bubble swap, can't you just do... arr = arr.sort((a, b) => a - b);

[@gryg666]

You can, but he explains how the sort function is written.

[@Anonim27121996]

Looks like a great course!

What laptop is he using?

[@suyogmule3630]

System 76

[@SerbanTV]

About the second example of O(n) with the two loops, aren't those optimised by the compiler and essentially run together, so from an execution pov that is O(n) anyway?

[@mortvald]

how are they optimized and run together? what if the input of one loop relies on the result of another loop?

[@Jake-mp7ex]

No because time complexity isn't about concrete implementation. You purely look at it in terms of pseudocode, and count the "steps". He's actually making it more confusing by using real code, so you asked a fair question. It's also worth noting that big O refers to the maximum growth. Eg "grows no faster than, or worst case". Theres also big omega: "grows no slower than, or best case" and big theta The whole thing is kinda explained poorly. It's really not much different to describing the growth rate of math functions. The O part just means "upper bound of"

[@dave6012]

Uhh, this is not the “last you’ll ever need” it’s more like a basic introduction where several followup lessons would be needed to actually be good at algorithms. Given prime’s seniority level, the name of the channel and the name of the course, I actually expected this to be an advanced course. They should rename this video to “introduction to data structures and algorithms” and I wouldn’t have a word of criticism.

[@xdmeister]

I would barely even call this an introduction, this is more like a small bite size sample of an introduction to basic algorithms and data structures. I'm sure the title generated a lot of clicks tho lol.
