When she finds the last node she will probably snap her fingers saying " I am Ethic"

I love the fact that Ted ed is uploading more frequently in lockdown time <3

[Alfrednohike]

I don't know how to express how much I appreciate this video! I will use the knowledge from this series to build a wonderful game soon! Thank you Ted-Ed!

Coronavirus: I doubt anyone can make animated videos that teach people about coding when I'm causing a pandemic.

TED-Ed: Observe.

[Dylan-xlgp]

This needs to be made into a movie. I would PAY to watch it.

SPOILER ALERT!








Anyone who felt bad for the mini hedges who got destroyed?

A river of pure energy? That doesnt sound very safe to swim in.

[OmgMcGamez]

when you figured out the solution without hearing the explanation :D

[TrueRandomHomosapien]

To be honest, I'm just waiting for the full series, so that I can like them all and get back to them a year or so later, to solve them.

Hey Ted-ed pls make more such seriers it's really interesting to watch when anything is put in a story form and your amazing animations makes it more engaging...

Ted-Ed: Node of Creation allows Hedge to split.
Me: Cool!
Also Ted-Ed: But Hedge can't use the Node of Power to blast enemy robots.

Being a programmer, this is probably one of the best series to teach anyone about Programming and Problem Solving Skills

3:21
In fact, all loops can be replaced with recursion.
While loops:
while condition {
do thing
}
Recursion:
define recursion {
do thing
if not condition {
recursion
}
}

-All- Primitive recursions can also become loops! It’s harder, but it’s on my channel.

The adventure continues...and I still never solved any puzzle.
