Lecture 18 | Programming Methodology (Stanford)

Lecture by Professor Mehran Sahami for the Stanford Computer Science Department (CS106A). Professor Sahami wraps up arrays and introduces the term debugging.

CS106A is an Introduction to the engineering of computer applications emphasizing modern software engineering principles: object-oriented design, decomposition, encapsulation, abstraction, and testing. Uses the Java programming language. Emphasis is on good programming style and the built-in facilities of the Java language.

Why don't most CS teachers teach these things?

[havefun85]

Very good lessons! I followed the lessons until this one and i noticed that there is always the same dude laughing very hard about the jokes of the teacher. LOL that dude has a very typical way of laughing.

"theres a bug, its in one place, it remains in one place"

I wish.

[MrPested]

Brilliant lectures. i only wish they were in HD.

@krimark yep. Doing 2D and 3D arrays at the moment.

octopi are very interesting animals

[krimark]

@garg654 Most CS teachers do. Maybe you weren't listening.

@Ematuresco Yes, he said ArrayLists have bulkier syntax and are less efficient than arrays. This is because if you have bulkier syntax, you have a higher risk of getting bugs in your program.

[Ematuresco]

18:20 , he didn't give reasons why you would have to use a regular array instead of (an) ArrayList. He just said, you have. mhmm anyone knows ?
