I was struggling to start this problem and just found videos of people just coding without explanations. I've watched the first part of your video to understand and paused to tried myself and I was able to do it all! Just watched the full video to check if I was doing good. Thanks for the detailed explanation! <3

[MordecaiRelaxandZen]

I love the way he explains every line! Thank you from the bottom of my heart !

Nice. Took me 6 hours... Still have a long journey ahead. Can't wait to transition to Python.

Thank you so much, Devin! Your explanation brought so much clarity. Was about to give up since I had no idea how to start solving this problem set!

[johnnyfaris]

great job at explaining everything and making things clear to understand. thank you.

[drowse]

this problem was definitely the one I struggled with the most
tysm :)

You are an angel, dude! Thanks for helping my progress <3 You're awesome!

On the function is_tie you can just iterate by the candidates and check if anyone has a votes field different than min, if that's true return false, else return true.
Your way of doing it is also great but I think it's a little more complex, anyway thank's for the video and this type of content it's really great especially when you are stuck on little things.
Keep up the good job!

[skilllessbacon]

the notes are honestly so helpful thank you

Thanks dude. You are awesome. I resumed cs50 after this tutorial. Love from Bangladesh.

[estevves]

Your explanations really helped to understand the problem, great video :)

[plushybones]

If I don't use break in 12:04 won't it just go to the next rank and add to their vote? Why do I have to break there?

Hey, I know you might not be responding to these anymore but I don't get how you could say the following: == false". I don't get the candidates[preferences[i][j]] part. What does it even mean. How is a two dimensional array a point in a one dimensional array. Are you maybe just looking at the second element of the two dimensional one and using that as the index of the outer array? I watched the Tideman solution and it look to be chock-full of these expressions. I understand everything else, I am clear on structs and everything else. This is the one thing that hung me up and I had to look up a solution.

interesting way to check for a tie, great vid

Hey Devin, I've always had this question from the day I started taking the course --I faced a lot of difficulty in the beginning and used to sit for hours to solve a problem set, whenever I can't solve that problem or need more hints to solve that problem ( after trying for 2 days) --I try to find out resources like yours in YouTube, am I doing it right ?is this advisable while going through complex problem set like these?

i didnt understand bool vote function. can you simulate for 2 candidates alice and bob and 2 voters please... it has i < 2 and no dimesion so it ll have 1 loop 2 steps... how can this function covers all voters and ranks...is there any recursion somewhere what did i miss...

btw thank you for your all tutorials.

[jonathonhunt]

Hi Devin, I'm curious about the preferences array. I don't understand how that can be an index in the candidates array? Does it represent the int (vote count)? Sorry if this question is unclear. Thanks for your help!

[lucasnahp]

thank you very muchhh! now i can see what wrong with my code

[naruparagreendbz]

Im confused about the use of a break in the tabulate section if someone could elaborate a little 🙏🏾
