Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
From the physical world to the virtual world, algorithms are seemingly everywhere. David J. Malan, Professor of Computer Science at Harvard University, has been challenged to explain the science of algorithms to 5 different people; a child, a teen, a college student, a grad student, and an expert.

Most people in the future will not be programmers like in the past. They will select pre built high level functional objects and link them together using high level ide to create object/connection database. Run the resultant project on an interpreter to verify the functionality, allowing insertion of intermediate inspection points.
No one needs to know the internals of the low level or high level objects, except specialists who make them, or you who bind them together into a high level block object. Think of Visual Basic vs c++, using pre made objects or binding objects into an object block.

That teen was hard to watch I kept yelling at the screen Just jump to the J's! or Control F! Same thing as if I wanted to find a word in a dictionary you just jump to the first letter in that word! The kid at the beginning probably could of answered that question better.

I remember when I was taking Malan's CS50 course, one of the post-lecture reflection prompts was to write an algorithm for making a peanut butter sandwich. That girl wrote a better algorithm than I did!

My sister learnt this back in the 80s in her applied statistics, back in India, and she gave me the nick name bubble sort
I am totally biology person & didn t understand a thing then

Man this was good. I'm not gonna claim I understood everything that was said in the last conversation but I just loved how it becames a casual discussion these things.

23: 40 Was really hoping he would give an answer to that, but seems like instead of answering the question, he just explained the question itself in detail.

I just remember hating algorithms in my math classes. Then people started using the term in the 2010s and I was like, what is going on?

I've been studying CS50 for over past 2 weeks everyday for several hours, and professor Malan has now filled all of my recommendations.

the advanced guy didnt wana say it out loud that its all over, students shouldnt waste their time anymore studying computer science
