Lecture13b: Data Structures and Algorithms - Richard Buckland

[InterTubeClogger]

I haven't read the style guide, but why is the switch disallowed (at 7:28)? How is it less structured than a set of if/elses?

[HolySl0w]

I don't know if it's considered and implementation error but if you are comparing, say, structures based on NON unique keys it returns a random occurence when i might want the first (or last) occurrence.

and... hmmm... when i know my code is wrong but i can't figure out why and where i feel it's better then others code anyway :\

(and usually I end up rewriting everything...)

This is only the second half of the lecture, the mixer crashed halfway thru the lecture corrupting the first half.

this lecture is where we start explicitly looking at skepticism, which is a key theme of the course so I'm going to try to reconstruct the first half of the lecture from the raw camera tapes. this might take some time tho...

cheers
