I just wanted to say, TY! The last examples with trees is mighty helpful. I know this is something I'm hearing is coming up in my code school. And this is great you took the time to lay it out. And the grouping trick, WOW. Thank you so much!

Leigh I love your algorithm videos like binary search

Please make more, your tutorials are easy to understand, thanks

Cool, cool, cool!
More stuff like that!

[chikatikah]

That’s a neat way to do the Fibonacci sequence!

Great video, Leigh! What would the performance and other impacts be with this type of recursion vs using the typical loops or reducer?

It is like you know what I am weak at.

You should have avoided using JS-specific methods, but instead, use those which are easily transferable to other languages.
