The only optimization I'd make would be to label your vids so that we know what topic is being covered, or which algorithms are going to be covered.

thanks

[BucklandRichard]

@321noone thanks, i agree. i'm putting my spare time at the moment into trying to get all of the 1927 videos posted by decemberween, once that's done i'll fix titles descriptions and links to syllabus and exercises etc.

but meanwhile if you (or any other viewers) feel inspired and would like to suggest titles for this or any vid then i'd be utterly delighted to adopt them!

just post them as a comment to the corresponding vid if inspiration strikes.

best regards

@BucklandRichard I've never come this far watching any lecture series. This is amazing ! Thank you and all the people involved with this.

I like the nerdy and catchy episode titles from the show "Big Bang Theory". Thinking on similar lines, I'd call this "n * log(n) : The hypothetical Shannon-Buckland-(your name here) sort". I'm sure one of your students (including me) will come up with a clever solution and strike off "hypothetical".

I did your homework and came up with my own sorting algorithm. Tell me what you think

Here are the steps :

1) Create a bin array thats the same size as the passed Array

2) insert passedArray[0] into bin[0]

3) Then linearly insert the value from passedArray "accordingly" into bin array*(hard part)

4) Check for special case where the last

element in bin array is smaller than the passedArray value, if so then append passedArray value into end of bin array

I just wanted to say I really appreciate you taking the time to upload these lectures. Your teach style is refreshing.

[BucklandRichard]

Thanks TamaThps! I'm utterly delighted if you find them helpful.
