15: UNSW COMP1917 Higher Computing 2008 S1W4L3

I've watched 1-14 and i'm planning to do them all, following along and writing small variations of the programs myself, and my viking number converter can currently do 1-99 successfully! Thanks for making these generally available for free! :) I'm hoping to study CS at Copenhagen University next year and being a little closer to being a group C student than I am now.

2:28 anyone else find that part funny? :D

[GreasedUpSpud]

Talk about bad timing @ 02:27!

Watching these in 2011 -- BEST lectures I've seen on C!

I can't afford university tuition so these are such a wonderful blessing!

[ronniepage]

where is lcture 14?!

[xsadam1]

UNSWelearning, please keep filming the lectures, because it really meant a lot to people like me.

[StevenAFC]

I did law at uni, I find these useful!

[Delishful]

cool, if you blur your eyes you can see the subliminal message across the yellow strip on his shirt.

[DarkKnightBob1o1]

This guy is mad!

[MrEolo999]

it would be really nice to have access to the assignments so people who is following these lectures can work on them too.

Great lectures, anyway

The answer to riddle is easy if you realize Maximum possible DISTINCT number of weights using n weights. From given k weights i can measure Pow(2,k)/2 ( +/- before the number). These k weight i can choose in C(n,k) ways . So overall n weights can measure a maximum of distinct weights: Sum(i=1,n)[Pow(2,i-1)C(n,i)] . The rest is trivial by doing the solution backwards from weight 40: 40,39(!),...,37(!),..., 31(!), ...,13(!).

@quasigoose So what did you get as your result? I don't understand your numbers at the end, I solved it with dynamic programming and my solution is nothing like yours.

0:30 watching a youtube video on youtube... :D

Anyway, great series!

[BEASHTS]

These videos are extremely helpful. I currently suffer from social anxiety and I would do anything to go to Uni, this is the closest i can get. Thanks.

[NiGhtMarEs0nWax]

so do i to a degree, but im hoping to go soon. im scared i will fail though, thats the main reason i put off further education, fear of failure. but i will never achieve anything if i dont overcome my fears.

Yes! The lectures are extremely useful online (i.e. on youtube) I have watched every lecture from you up until this point, and some several times. I'm working my way all the way through them. And with books, such as K&R, I figure I'll be just fine, as I'm really following along, trying hard, and understanding. Thanks so much, and please continue this with other classes too, like level 2.

[TheJohanLiebert]

I second that.
