The kid crying is exactly how I feel when someone asks me about time and space complexity 😢

It's year 2030, computer science universities go bankrupt because everyone is learning from fireships 100s videos instead of lectures. Keep it up ! 😁

Dude! your materials are like O(1/n)... The more advanced concepts you take, the shorter and easier to comprehend your material is :) keep it up! you're doing a great job

It took me forever to understand this, even when I was taking data structures in college. I really like the way you explain this as it's very similar to CS50, the free course that Harvard provides, but you do it in 100 seconds.

I'm so pissed off at this because it ends at 100 sec.

Can you explain my life in 100 seconds too? You're amazing man 🔥

I will watch every single video this GOAT is making

I'm jealous of any current CS students who have these videos... YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LUCKY YOU ARE!

After sharing the first #100secondsofcode video I made a comment wishing for this to be a series. I'm very happy to see it as a reality. Thank you

this taught me more than the weeks I spent watching tutorials on this

From Application Development to Software Engineering to now Computer Science... Looks good for audience of this channel. Keep up the good work. Much needed video for people who are not from computer science and well explained from perspective of Computer Science and Engineering Graduate.

You explained this better in 100 seconds than my professors did in college over 5 months.

I remember having trouble understanding how the Big-O notation worked years ago. This video will be so useful for students around the world, thank you !

I'm really glad that we have people like you here in YouTube, awesome videos with amazing quality and great knowledge. Have you ever considered making videos about Programming Paradigms? Design Patterns?

Thank you. Had a whiteboard interview with logic questions and my YouTube feed has been all about them, this is the first video to tell me what the maths was people kept using to show their thinking!! Big O notation, ahhhhh the relief and all in 100 seconds! You god

Wow, by far the best explanation that I've ever seen (thanks to the graphs). 👌🏻

I'm loving this concept of code in 100 seconds. Keep going please

Extremely great fun for this. Short, sweet and to the point with great visuals.

One thing about big O is that in some cases you'd actually want to use the less optimal algorithm. Crazy optimised search algorithms for example will introduce a lot of overhead before actually performing the search and this only scales well with big numbers where searching over an array that we know is gonna be just a few items long would be better off with a normal for loop.
