You should consider going into teaching. This is best explanation I've seen (including my current college course). Understood the algorithm but now I actually understand each line of code.

Would you please give more lectures in python...the first time I actually understand what happened when you solve a problem not just memorizing the way it had been answered

You are fantastic, but l still struggle to process the whole thing! I am very new to programming and Python is my choice, very confused atm, but for some reason l like it and l want to improve, l just hope it won't take me forever to finally master it.
