Hope you guys found this useful! Let me know what other types of videos you want to see in the future!!

As a retired software engineer and a recent "Python addict", I can say that turning real-world problems into "algorithms" is THE most important skill you can have. Even more important than the so called "soft skills" and much more important than proficiency in a particular language / platform. Anyone who can think "algorithmically" can learn a platform.

one thing that I have learned about IT and programming is that people tend to value problem-solving skills more than how much you know about a programming language. I LOVE THIS.
I haven't been so excited to learn something in a while

Dude I absolutely love the content you are putting out. The more familiar I become with development, the more I realise that learning the logic behind the problem is almost more important than knowing the syntax itself. Any monkey can look up the syntax but logic usually isn't so easy to Google. You are showing us how the thinking behind the problem solving mindset works and that to me is invaluable.

13:20 => Storing all the positions is going to take more memory, the way around this could be, As soon as we find a " 1 " we switch it to " 0 " and then check its adjacent elements and then switch them to " 0 " s as well, so we will to go through the phase of double counting.. .. .. ..

Just A Thought!!!

Exactly Tim.
Break it down into smaller bit and solve it one after the other

I've watched several videos on problem solving and this is probably the best one simply by giving an example. If you can't give an example of something you're teaching then you shouldn't be teaching. Thanks Tim!

[hoangthuan]

I was stuck in problem solving, thanks a lot for helping mee sir! Much love <3

[danishuddin]

That's a great way to approach problem solving instead just looking at a program trying to remember it or directly trying to code it up! thanks a lot mike!

[adamsalhi]

I think it's much more efficient to change the ones used into 0s instead of storing their positions.

Hey Tim, can you suggest some course or resources for learning DSA and Advance DSA through python? Or you could make your own tutorial for the same?

Great video Tim. Problem solving is a big struggle for me so this was quite helpful :)

[cloudmaxx]

Thanks a lot Tim... excellent breakdown ! Really liked your way of simplifying a problem into smaller components and then solving each of them!

[gabrielroomvm]

Great video, should have written the code as well for beginners

[mikhus]

Question: My thoughts on step 3 was to have the algorithm find an end of the river, then while counting change each 1 to 0. That way I wouldn't have to use another check to see if it was used, because it would be indistinguishable from the "land" at next step 1.
Is there any issues with that algorithm, or any reason for why I shouldn't change the input matrix?

[arnavmaheshwari]

This video is great for someone who is struggling with problem solving

[triphazard]

I enjoyed this video, thanks for making it. I am starting learn JavaScript and doing problem solving (I prefer to think of it as "challenge solving") really helps to solidify the concepts in my mind.

I'd also liked to have seen you actually code up your proposed solution, but we can't have everything

[williamnot]

Thank you very much for this Tim. Very helpful

[darthboxOriginal]

Thank you, this is an issue i am needing to improve at the moment.

[yunoletmehaveaname]

I'm going to start practicing writing down my thoughts before ever touching the code! (I'm still fairly new at programming)
