I am from india and here we have a rigorous entrance exam which consists of physics chemistry and maths and it made me lose my interest in the things I loved about computers and programming now when I couldn't clear the entrance exam twice I am here to revive the interest and get hold of my passion thanks sir David for again making me believe myself will definitely complete this course
tbh JEE is a good exam ( I couldn't even qualify mains) but the competition is too high ...seats are very few like 16k seats for which 16 lac students fight ..the level of exam is high and enough to make dahi of someone's brain ...when a person clears Adv and goes to IIT ..he's already immune to exam like adv so the engineering syllabus would be challenging enough yet the person will be able to challenge it ...that's the reason IIT's and NIT's produce some of the best engineers who are industry ready unlike other tier 3 colleges who teach ntg just some theory which is not even used in job industry .. we need more and more IIT/NIT seats
Hello Wolrd! I'm starting this course today, if you're seeing this comment, please like it. So if i forgot about the course after, i will return and complete the course,Thank you!!
I am so glad to have started this course! And am even more jealous of the students who get to take it live! Thank you Harvard for making this accessible to us :')
@@chaskatv3496 It was a hoax. Devin failed in most tests and the videos they showcased were fake. People believe the company just wanted to make some money off the idea. But starting the course is always a good idea! I'm just starting as well, so hopefully I'll see you through these comments, good luck!
Just completed CS50. It is absolutely worth it. David carries forward the same energy in all the lectures. The course might eventually feel more difficult, but it will be absolutely worth it. Good luck everyone!
Watching the beginning of this video makes me wanna cry. It moved me because of the quality of education in this world, one that I missed during my younger time. Now that I am a father of a little boy, it also encourages me to become a better dad, and to try to raise my boy so that he's eager about education out there, so that he can fulfill the dream that his dad missed. Thanks Harvard for making this available.
@@charlesuwah3404 yeah. I'm a software engineer now so I know these stuff. It just wasn't available to me when I was younger, or should I say I wasn't grabbing my opportunity back then, which takes me longer to learn and never really getting all the potentials. I still watch these things because they still give me new things to learn, also to remind me of how great education is available out there for you to grab, which I'll try to tell my son the same.
I get chills reading this comment because that is how I felt. I realized the quality of he teaches made me focused so much more and tuned in so much more. We got this!
This is why an education at Harvard must be so sought after. Their teachers have a way of making incredibly complex instructions accessible to everyone! I never graduated from highschool but even with just a GED this man is breaking these things down to a level where I am able to kinda get it.
Dr. Malan is hands down one of the greatest teachers ever it's not just his knowledge of the field and technical acumen but his ability to convey such knowledge in a way that inspires you while at the same time making it fun and accessible to anyone. Thank you so much for your incredible work Dr.Malan and thank you Harvard for making this gem available to us all.
It has been 22 years since I earned my master's degree. I wish I had a professor like this at UCSD & USD. His passion and explanation of the subject matter make CS more interesting and captivating. I'm so jealous! I love watching all these videos for my self-gratification. Thanks for making it accessible to the public!!!
28 years to be precise. I am taking it along with my daughter. I want her to get basic knowledge of CS and all these languages are new to me. I work in IBM's iSeries. 😊
It's my first day at CS50 and I am too excited as I have watched this First video and I have to say that David is best Teacher in His Field. He knows how to teach . He is such an amazing Teacher. I am feeling jealous from the students who have attended it Live but not an issue I can watch it online. Thanks to David and Harvard for making this course free.
the comments made me realize, I'm not alone taking the course in the middle-age after several regrets about my education :). Glad to have started this and hoping to get through the finish.
I’ve begun watching 2023 edition, it’s not just a lecture course it’s like mini series with good and effective video. So jealous all of Harvard student who had learned this course live! even I’m middle age still wanting to learn! Omg Happy new year! ❤
Don't know why someone said this lecture is ugly. It's the true programming 101 for those students with no base. Unlike Harvard, UCL, just tell you what does each term do, and let you start programming, assuming everyone is genius who can programme without understanding the logic behind that.
I love this course. It re-ignited my passion for programming once again. The concept are much more understandable and I'm literally joyous within me for the 0's and 1's that does the magic. Hope I could represent them here. Thank once again
@@Trueguide6162 hey did you understand the unary part where he says that we can count upto 32 please can you please it to me how???? How we represent numbers in this way.
@@muslimah78999 he meant that you can count up to 32 by comparing fingers to bits, a raised finger is a 1 and a lowered finger is a 0, that way you have 32 possible combinations, its 2^5 or 2x2x2x2x2 which is 32
It was fun testing this on my hand 😂 15:00 You can count up to 31 using your fingers on one hand by employing a binary counting method. Here’s how it works: 1. **Assign Values**: Each finger represents a binary digit (bit). From thumb to pinky, the values are \(1, 2, 4, 8, 16\). 2. **Count in Binary**: Each finger can be either up (1) or down (0). By raising different combinations of fingers, you can represent numbers from 0 to 31. - Thumb up = 1 - Index finger up = 2 - Middle finger up = 4 - Ring finger up = 8 - Pinky finger up = 16 3. **Example**: - Thumb and index finger up: \(1 + 2 = 3\) - Thumb, index finger, and middle finger up: \(1 + 2 + 4 = 7\) - All fingers up: \(1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 = 31\) Using this method, you can represent any number from 0 to 31 with just one hand.
CS50 is a truly exceptional course that stands out from the typical university experience. Most college classes don't differ much from a professor lecturing on their own, but CS50 is the complete opposite. We should focus on what makes this kind of transformative learning possible. The course brings together all the elements of outstanding education: a brilliant professor, comprehensive lecture notes and self-study materials, challenging problem sets with automated grading, additional practice exercises, short video explanations, and small group sections. They even provide guidelines on how to effectively use AI in your studies, rather than banning it outright like many universities. David Malan and the entire CS50 team have created an impressive educational system and end-to-end process. It's a model that deserves attention and emulation not just in computer science, but across all subjects and areas of education. This is what world-class teaching looks like in action. This quality of education system should be new standard of lecture.
Hello world!!!!! i started learning this course today and it is super fun!!!! This teacher is so fun and enterteining. Im from Lithunia. If youre a teenager or an adult dont hesitate. start now. im a 6th grader and he explains everything so easily!!!! 110% recomend. Big thanks to harvard so this sc50 course is for free!
Congratulations to the team behind these "Lectures" videos. I think it's the best way of teaching on RUclips since it grabs our attention, it's not boring as slides and monotonal narratives. It just keeps us interested and a 2 hours video seems to be so fast. You guys are the best!
This is an extremely smart set-up. You get 3 different forms of income coming from the same lectures. You get the tuition of the students attending in person, the payment of those who want to get the certificate in the online course, and the youtube payment for all these videos watched by those who are doing the free course (or those who are just curious) and those who are paying for the certificate... it's quite brilliant
It's brilliant in a way that no one even feels like they've been robbed or ripped off no matter what means or channel you accessed this course 🙌 All worth it
@@alittleantidote5852 nah bro, i didn't mean to attack you or smth, i just wanted to say that... A good thing is a good thing, it doesn't matter if you get money or not.
I took this course in 2023 and quickly fell out around lecture 3. But this time in 2024, I'm gonna finish it. I now understand binary and the concepts of functions, Booleans, etc. My original major was Computer Engineering 10 years ago before dropping out. I've learned a bit of Python along the way and now want to take it to the full extent. I've studied a bit of A+, Sec+, and Net+. This was so well developed that I'm just grateful I get to take another stab at it. Thank you so much for being an inspiration in changing lives, CS50. Anyone with enough determination can grasp the concepts, and maybe somewhere along the way, I can find where Computer Science fits into my life. I urge anyone scared of taking this course to reevaluate it in the sense that it may be daunting, but anything is possible with enough passion for learning something new. I can't wait to update once I get the certification.
Hello world ! I am a college student from india,currently studying bachelors.....I feel blessed that i found this cs50 and literally it feels like first time i m geeting my real world doubts clear,the things i always wonder how they actually works and how they r done....A great thanks to everyone who proposed this idea making these lectures free and of course a big thanks to Mr.David❤ He's a legend explaining the topics as he's also learning them from our perspective.....Lastly a very good luck to u all and i hope we all will learn so much from this😊😊
Starting my journey into programming at June 21, 2024. Hoping to learn C, web dev, get a job to support myself and eventually the dream goal; game development. I'm hoping to study and work hard as I can, and I'm hoping that this course will get me on the right track. Please do your best, me.
This was such a good lesson. I have 0 experience with CS but am an avid gamer and the part with scratch and breaking down the functions and conditionals really made me look at games in a new light. The theatrics were really solid too. Makes me wish I had taken school seriously.
Here's to another fantastic year with CS50 in 2024! The passion and dedication Professor David Malan brings to teaching create an enjoyable and memorable learning experience. CS50 is more than a course; it's an inspiring journey led by an exceptional educator. Thank you, Professor Malan, for your steadfast commitment to fostering a deep understanding of computer science and making it accessible to learners of all backgrounds. Warm greetings from Turkey, where your impact is felt across borders!

It took me 10 seconds to make up my mind and decide that I will go to Harvard. Putting so much care into making an intro for a class is incredibly motivating. 1- Apply to Harvard. 2. If accepted 3. Else if not accepted Go back to step 1
😀🤣😂Amazing I went to Harvard while I am in South Africa relaxed in my couch learning Computer Science good times of our lives hope Africans are taking this opportunity for real
I'm so glad this course is available to the general public. I've spent the majority of my career in business and am looking for a change. Another RUclipsr (who I can't remember) recommended this course and I'm so glad to have found it. I wish I had taken something like this in college.
Just finished this lesson to find out they made an updated version! Decided to give it a second watch and was glad to see the additional resources provided. Thanks everyone for all that you do!
Olá pessoal! Hoje é dia 11/07/2024, e estou começando o curso e pegando algumas video aulas de varios locais para aprender mais sobre programação e Ciência da Computação. Sou brasileiro, e se você que está lendo também for, mantenha o foco e continue estudando e adquirindo cada vez mais conhecimento aos poucos. Lembre-se, cada um está correndo a própria maratona, então vá no seu tempo e tudo dará certo. Bons estudos a todos! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
It is my second day on this video, and I am carefully jotting down, as well as doing my very best to understand this, and I am loving it!!! Thank you CS50!
It's insane how David is so excited with teaching that he, multiple times, becomes breathless and exhausted for speaking a lot or running between laptop and screen. Gives me great motivation to study!
Simply Amazing. Even if I wasn't interested in CS, I would be have watched the 2hours and been captivated the whole way through. Thank you Harvard for sharing this with the world
Started This CS50x course today on 29th July, 2024, and will comment again when I'll finish this course. Really these lectures by Sir David are very interesting. Thank You so much David sir, Love from India
Starting CS50 today, July 26, 2024, after a lot of ups and downs in my programming journey. I hope this can be the final push I need to start taking it seriously. Good luck to everyone doing the course!
Thx so much for making this free! The instructor gives an absolutely great performance, entertaining and highly informative! Also I'd never thought to get rickrolled by Harvard :D
Hey everyone! Completed a 6 month software engineering bootcamp feeling very insecure about my knowledge and ability to apply things on my own. Hoping to fill in any gaps and gain more confidence through this course and extra practice. So grateful to be here!❤️🙏🏾
WHAT IS THIS? THIS IS SO FUN, IS AND I AM NOT EVEN IN THAT HALL. IM HERE SITTING IN CAFE IN INDONESIA WHILE SCROLLING AND WATCH SOME REELS I FOUND THIS CLASS. GOD BLESS HARVARD!! GOD BLESS DR. MALAN. GOD BLESS CS50 HARVARD UNIVERSITY!!!
One of the best lectures I've ever seen in my life. Greetings from Uzbekistan! Thank you for your time, Prof. David J. Malan. I hope to join your team, Insha'Allah.
The opportunity to learn from such a prestigious institution like Harvard University has been invaluable. I express my sincere gratitude for offering CS50. Your dedication to making quality education accessible has opened doors for many like me to explore the exciting world of computer science.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 04:02 🚀 *CS50 is Harvard's introduction to computer science and programming, providing a versatile mindset applicable across various fields.* 06:56 📚 *The course covers not only the C language but also Python, SQL, and JavaScript, emphasizing practical skills applicable to real-world software development.* 08:20 💡 *The class focuses on problem-solving, introducing concepts like algorithms and code to represent and manipulate different types of data, from numbers to multimedia.* 09:47 🤝 *The course offers support structures for students of various skill levels, fostering a community-oriented learning environment.* 12:38 🔍 *Computer science, fundamentally about solving problems, is approached through computational thinking, improving thought processes and precision in expressing ideas.* 20:39 🔢 *Binary numbers are represented using the base-2 system, similar to how humans use the base-10 system (decimal), with each digit position holding a different power of 2.* 22:07 💡 *Explaining the binary system, using 0s and 1s to represent values based on powers of 2.* 23:33 🤖 *Connecting the concept of bits (0s and 1s) to representing instructions for computers, using the example of controlling a robot like Spot.* 26:24 🖥️ *Introducing bytes as a more practical unit of measure, with each byte consisting of eight bits, and explaining their use in representing numbers.* 28:20 🅰️ *Discussing ASCII as a system to represent letters with numbers, where each character is assigned a unique value.* 31:10 🚀 *Demonstrating the mapping of ASCII codes to letters, showcasing how binary patterns represent characters.* 39:12 🌐 *Unicode's mission is to represent and preserve all human languages digitally, capturing the entirety of human knowledge through characters and emojis.* 40:10 😂 *Emojis, represented in Unicode, can vary in appearance across platforms (e.g., Apple, Android, Microsoft), as they are essentially characters with different visual interpretations.* 41:34 🧑🏽💻 *Unicode uses hexadecimal representation (base-16) to express characters more compactly than binary, allowing for efficient representation of emojis like "face with tears of joy."* 42:59 🌈 *Representing diverse skin tones in emojis is achieved by modifying the default color pattern, providing variations without creating entirely new patterns for each combination.* 44:25 💑 *Emojis like "couple with heart" use combinations of Unicode code points for individual elements (e.g., man, woman, heart), showcasing the expressive possibilities of character combinations.* 45:49 🕵️ *U+ is a convention indicating a Unicode code point, serving as a visual clue for representing characters, and allowing standardization across different platforms.* 46:44 🎨 *Colors in computers are commonly represented using RGB values, with each pixel on a screen having three numbers (red, green, blue) to determine its color.* 51:53 ⚙️ *Algorithms are step-by-step instructions for solving problems. Binary search, illustrated with a phone book example, is an example of a more efficient algorithm compared to linear search.* 56:13 📈 *Binary search is a fundamentally more efficient algorithm than linear search, reducing the time complexity from O(n) to O(log n) by repeatedly dividing the problem in half.* 57:42 📈 *Algorithms can be compared based on efficiency, not just correctness. The shape of an algorithm's graph, such as logarithmic growth, indicates efficiency.* 58:09 🔄 *Efficient algorithms become crucial with larger datasets. Designing well-optimized algorithms is a key aspect of becoming a better programmer or problem solver.* 58:38 ❓ *Focus on acquiring skills to solve problems efficiently over time, not just correctly. CS50 emphasizes writing code that is both correct and well-designed.* 59:35 ❌ *The efficiency graph doesn't capture the correctness of an algorithm. Correctness requires logical analysis, while efficiency is about design and execution speed.* 01:00:32 📝 *Pseudocode is a way to express algorithmic thoughts before coding. It's written in human language, conveying steps clearly and precisely.* 01:06:42 🤖 *Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT use patterns in language to infer responses based on vast amounts of input data.* 01:10:03 🦆 *CS50 introduces an AI-based software, the CS50 duck, to aid students. The goal is to strike a balance between helpfulness and encouraging independent problem-solving.* 01:11:28 🚧 *CS50 discourages the use of external AI-based tools, emphasizing the use of its own AI software, the CS50 duck, to maintain an intellectual balance.* 01:12:56 🔗 *The CS50 duck, an AI-based tool, aims to serve as a helpful tutor rather than simply providing answers. It offers assistance within the context of the course.* 01:14:49 🤔 *Binary representation is abstracted; understanding 0's and 1's is less important than recognizing their use to represent numbers, letters, and other quantities.* [01:15:46 URL](ruclips.net/video/3LPJfIKxwWc/видео.html) *🧠 The focus in this lecture is on programming ideas rather than syntax or characters on the keyboard.* [01:16:44 URL](ruclips.net/video/3LPJfIKxwWc/видео.html) *🧩 Scratch, a cloud-based editor, will be used for the first homework (problem set 0) to visually represent programming concepts.* [01:17:40 URL](ruclips.net/video/3LPJfIKxwWc/видео.html) *🎨 Scratch's user interface is based on puzzle pieces or blocks categorized by color, representing different programming elements.* [01:18:37 URL](ruclips.net/video/3LPJfIKxwWc/видео.html) *🌐 Scratch operates in a 2D world with x and y coordinates, and the cat sprite can move based on these coordinates.* [01:19:06 URL](ruclips.net/video/3LPJfIKxwWc/видео.html) *🔗 The speaker demonstrates creating a simple program in Scratch to display "Hello, world" using puzzle pieces.* [01:21:00 URL](ruclips.net/video/3LPJfIKxwWc/видео.html) *🧩 Scratch's "say" block represents a function, and the white oval allows customization of the function's behavior (parameters or arguments).* [01:26:42 URL](ruclips.net/video/3LPJfIKxwWc/видео.html) *🔄 Combining Scratch puzzle pieces, like "join" and "ask," demonstrates composing inputs and outputs in programming.* [01:34:46 URL](ruclips.net/video/3LPJfIKxwWc/видео.html) *🔄 Generalizing Functions: By creating a function "meow" with an input parameter for the number of times to meow, generalization is achieved. This modular approach simplifies the code and enhances flexibility.* [01:35:42 URL](ruclips.net/video/3LPJfIKxwWc/видео.html) *🎮 Creating Interactive Programs: Implementing conditional statements (if touching mouse pointer) and loops (forever) allows the creation of interactive programs. Demonstrated with a cat that meows when touched by the mouse pointer.* [01:39:27 URL](ruclips.net/video/3LPJfIKxwWc/видео.html) *🎥 Video Sensing Extension: Extending Scratch functionality with Video Sensing allows for more interactive programs. In the example, the cat responds to the user's hand movements captured by the camera.* [01:42:20 URL](ruclips.net/video/3LPJfIKxwWc/видео.html) *🕹️ Game Development: Game development in Scratch involves combining basic building blocks like loops, conditionals, and sensing to create engaging experiences. Illustrated with a "Whac-A-Mole" game.* [01:46:35 URL](ruclips.net/video/3LPJfIKxwWc/видео.html) *🛣️ Incremental Development: Developing complex programs is simplified by taking incremental steps. Demonstrated through the evolution of "Oscartime," where each version added new features, making the game more interactive.* [01:49:55 URL](ruclips.net/video/3LPJfIKxwWc/видео.html) *🔄 Iterative Design: Iterative design involves refining and enhancing a project through multiple versions. "Oscartime" development showcased how initial ideas evolved over iterations to create a more engaging program.* 01:51:50 🎮 *Implementation details of the game involve abstraction through custom puzzle pieces for listening to the keyboard and feeling for walls.* 01:53:17 🏞️ *Introducing an obstacle (Yale block) involves conditional checks for touching the left or right wall, adding complexity to the game.* 01:54:44 🐞 *Increasing the speed of the Yale block revealed a bug due to the fast movement, highlighting the importance of adjusting game mechanics for smooth gameplay.* 01:55:43 🤖 *Introducing MIT into the game involves MIT tracking the Harvard logo outline, showcasing the flexibility of implementing different game elements.* 01:57:10 🕹️ *The lecture concludes with a student playing the full-fledged game, demonstrating the combined mechanics of keyboard input, obstacle avoidance, and smart MIT tracking.* 02:00:03 🎓 *The presentation ends with a musical performance, "This is CS50," featuring creative lyrics about coding, debugging, and a humorous tribute to rubber duck debugging.* Made with HARPA AI
Learned about CS50x way too late in 2023, so I decided to just audit and start fresh in 2024. Love the lectures and Prof. Malan energy! This definitely has made me even more excited to learn about computer science.
@@dreamelbon3789 I finished mine yesterday. Final project took me about 2 weeks. I made a small chrome extension. It''s not hard to fulfill requirements. But few of the problem sets can be more challenging than you may expect. Full course took me 4 months. Of course it can be done faster, but i spend much time on theory, and completed almost all additional stuff.
This is CS50, Harvard University's introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming. Excited to dive into the world of computer science with Scratch as the first step! Thank you, Professor Malan and the entire CS50 team, for making this incredible course accessible to everyone!
What an animated guy. Pretty overwhelming for a classic European introvert. Enthusiasm is necessary, but this guy is showing some new levels. Hope his face didn`t explode afterwards. But still, it`s inspiring and I`m very grateful for the knowledge.
Hello, World! This year, I'm turning 34 years old and just diving into software engineering. I am grateful for the ability to take this course online FOR FREE! I graduated high school in 2008 (barely) however I dropped out of junior college knowing that school was never a strong point for me. I hope that CS50 will help me start fresh with understanding how to become a better problem solver.
Thanks to Sir David Malan , Cs50 team and Harvard , i am enjoying very much and learning new things , enjoying with the duck and robo starting out new year with Cs50

JEE?
That's the harsh reality
JEE sometimes fucks up a person
tbh JEE is a good exam ( I couldn't even qualify mains) but the competition is too high ...seats are very few like 16k seats for which 16 lac students fight ..the level of exam is high and enough to make dahi of someone's brain ...when a person clears Adv and goes to IIT ..he's already immune to exam like adv so the engineering syllabus would be challenging enough yet the person will be able to challenge it ...that's the reason IIT's and NIT's produce some of the best engineers who are industry ready unlike other tier 3 colleges who teach ntg just some theory which is not even used in job industry .. we need more and more IIT/NIT seats

Watching the beginning of this video makes me wanna cry. It moved me because of the quality of education in this world, one that I missed during my younger time. Now that I am a father of a little boy, it also encourages me to become a better dad, and to try to raise my boy so that he's eager about education out there, so that he can fulfill the dream that his dad missed. Thanks Harvard for making this available.
You haven't missed it. You can still have it all. Just start now.
@@charlesuwah3404 yeah. I'm a software engineer now so I know these stuff. It just wasn't available to me when I was younger, or should I say I wasn't grabbing my opportunity back then, which takes me longer to learn and never really getting all the potentials. I still watch these things because they still give me new things to learn, also to remind me of how great education is available out there for you to grab, which I'll try to tell my son the same.
Beta hillaara rha hoga aaapka!!!!!!!
I get chills reading this comment because that is how I felt. I realized the quality of he teaches made me focused so much more and tuned in so much more. We got this!
This is why an education at Harvard must be so sought after. Their teachers have a way of making incredibly complex instructions accessible to everyone! I never graduated from highschool but even with just a GED this man is breaking these things down to a level where I am able to kinda get it.
Dr. Malan is hands down one of the greatest teachers ever it's not just his knowledge of the field and technical acumen but his ability to convey such knowledge in a way that inspires you while at the same time making it fun and accessible to anyone. Thank you so much for your incredible work Dr.Malan and thank you Harvard for making this gem available to us all.
Agree! I love how respectful Dr. Malan is, when student's ask questions.
It has been 22 years since I earned my master's degree. I wish I had a professor like this at UCSD & USD. His passion and explanation of the subject matter make CS more interesting and captivating. I'm so jealous! I love watching all these videos for my self-gratification. Thanks for making it accessible to the public!!!
28 years to be precise. I am taking it along with my daughter. I want her to get basic knowledge of CS and all these languages are new to me. I work in IBM's iSeries. 😊
It's my first day at CS50 and I am too excited as I have watched this First video and I have to say that David is best Teacher in His Field. He knows how to teach . He is such an amazing Teacher. I am feeling jealous from the students who have attended it Live but not an issue I can watch it online. Thanks to David and Harvard for making this course free.
I agree, I've tried this course with other teachers and I was absolutely lost. He is AMAZING!!
how is it going?
It's 8th of June (2024) and I am starting this course today. I'll complete the whole course and tell about my experience here. Best of luck to me !

I’ve begun watching 2023 edition, it’s not just a lecture course it’s like mini series with good and effective video. So jealous all of Harvard student who had learned this course live! even I’m middle age still wanting to learn!
Omg Happy new year! ❤
Which year's should i watch?
Don't know why someone said this lecture is ugly. It's the true programming 101 for those students with no base. Unlike Harvard, UCL, just tell you what does each term do, and let you start programming, assuming everyone is genius who can programme without understanding the logic behind that.
I love this course. It re-ignited my passion for programming once again. The concept are much more understandable and I'm literally joyous within me for the 0's and 1's that does the magic. Hope I could represent them here. Thank once again
I am speechless.
The lectures are so interactive and well designed unlike the boring lectures we see in our college
@@Trueguide6162 hey did you understand the unary part where he says that we can count upto 32 please can you please it to me how???? How we represent numbers in this way.
@@muslimah78999 Watch it again
@@muslimah78999 he meant that you can count up to 32 by comparing fingers to bits, a raised finger is a 1 and a lowered finger is a 0, that way you have 32 possible combinations, its 2^5 or 2x2x2x2x2 which is 32
@@conenone thankyou so much!
Your teaching style send chills down my spine, super engaging. God Bless You.
It was fun testing this on my hand 😂
15:00
You can count up to 31 using your fingers on one hand by employing a binary counting method. Here’s how it works:
1. **Assign Values**: Each finger represents a binary digit (bit). From thumb to pinky, the values are \(1, 2, 4, 8, 16\).
2. **Count in Binary**: Each finger can be either up (1) or down (0). By raising different combinations of fingers, you can represent numbers from 0 to 31.
- Thumb up = 1
- Index finger up = 2
- Middle finger up = 4
- Ring finger up = 8
- Pinky finger up = 16
3. **Example**:
- Thumb and index finger up: \(1 + 2 = 3\)
- Thumb, index finger, and middle finger up: \(1 + 2 + 4 = 7\)
- All fingers up: \(1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 = 31\)
Using this method, you can represent any number from 0 to 31 with just one hand.

CS50 is a truly exceptional course that stands out from the typical university experience. Most college classes don't differ much from a professor lecturing on their own, but CS50 is the complete opposite. We should focus on what makes this kind of transformative learning possible.
The course brings together all the elements of outstanding education: a brilliant professor, comprehensive lecture notes and self-study materials, challenging problem sets with automated grading, additional practice exercises, short video explanations, and small group sections. They even provide guidelines on how to effectively use AI in your studies, rather than banning it outright like many universities.
David Malan and the entire CS50 team have created an impressive educational system and end-to-end process. It's a model that deserves attention and emulation not just in computer science, but across all subjects and areas of education. This is what world-class teaching looks like in action. This quality of education system should be new standard of lecture.
Hello world!!!!! i started learning this course today and it is super fun!!!! This teacher is so fun and enterteining. Im from Lithunia. If youre a teenager or an adult dont hesitate. start now. im a 6th grader and he explains everything so easily!!!! 110% recomend. Big thanks to harvard so this sc50 course is for free!
I'm also ❤
Congratulations to the team behind these "Lectures" videos. I think it's the best way of teaching on RUclips since it grabs our attention, it's not boring as slides and monotonal narratives. It just keeps us interested and a 2 hours video seems to be so fast. You guys are the best!
This is an extremely smart set-up. You get 3 different forms of income coming from the same lectures. You get the tuition of the students attending in person, the payment of those who want to get the certificate in the online course, and the youtube payment for all these videos watched by those who are doing the free course (or those who are just curious) and those who are paying for the certificate... it's quite brilliant
It's brilliant in a way that no one even feels like they've been robbed or ripped off no matter what means or channel you accessed this course 🙌 All worth it
So? What matters is that it's helpful..
@@kilwa567 your comment gives me the impression you think my original comment is attacking the video/setup when it isn't
@@alittleantidote5852 nah bro, i didn't mean to attack you or smth, i just wanted to say that... A good thing is a good thing, it doesn't matter if you get money or not.
I took this course in 2023 and quickly fell out around lecture 3. But this time in 2024, I'm gonna finish it. I now understand binary and the concepts of functions, Booleans, etc. My original major was Computer Engineering 10 years ago before dropping out. I've learned a bit of Python along the way and now want to take it to the full extent. I've studied a bit of A+, Sec+, and Net+. This was so well developed that I'm just grateful I get to take another stab at it. Thank you so much for being an inspiration in changing lives, CS50. Anyone with enough determination can grasp the concepts, and maybe somewhere along the way, I can find where Computer Science fits into my life. I urge anyone scared of taking this course to reevaluate it in the sense that it may be daunting, but anything is possible with enough passion for learning something new. I can't wait to update once I get the certification.
That's awesome, power to you friend! I wonder how much you're into the course as of now?
Can you please try to explain for me the unary, binary concepts and booleans
The passion this professor has somehow makes me feel life is beautiful. Keep it up.
Hello world !

20:39 🔢 *Binary numbers are represented using the base-2 system, similar to how humans use the base-10 system (decimal), with each digit position holding a different power of 2.*
22:07 💡 *Explaining the binary system, using 0s and 1s to represent values based on powers of 2.*
23:33 🤖 *Connecting the concept of bits (0s and 1s) to representing instructions for computers, using the example of controlling a robot like Spot.*
26:24 🖥️ *Introducing bytes as a more practical unit of measure, with each byte consisting of eight bits, and explaining their use in representing numbers.*
28:20 🅰️ *Discussing ASCII as a system to represent letters with numbers, where each character is assigned a unique value.*
31:10 🚀 *Demonstrating the mapping of ASCII codes to letters, showcasing how binary patterns represent characters.*
39:12 🌐 *Unicode's mission is to represent and preserve all human languages digitally, capturing the entirety of human knowledge through characters and emojis.*
40:10 😂 *Emojis, represented in Unicode, can vary in appearance across platforms (e.g., Apple, Android, Microsoft), as they are essentially characters with different visual interpretations.*
41:34 🧑🏽💻 *Unicode uses hexadecimal representation (base-16) to express characters more compactly than binary, allowing for efficient representation of emojis like "face with tears of joy."*
42:59 🌈 *Representing diverse skin tones in emojis is achieved by modifying the default color pattern, providing variations without creating entirely new patterns for each combination.*
44:25 💑 *Emojis like "couple with heart" use combinations of Unicode code points for individual elements (e.g., man, woman, heart), showcasing the expressive possibilities of character combinations.*
45:49 🕵️ *U+ is a convention indicating a Unicode code point, serving as a visual clue for representing characters, and allowing standardization across different platforms.*
46:44 🎨 *Colors in computers are commonly represented using RGB values, with each pixel on a screen having three numbers (red, green, blue) to determine its color.*
51:53 ⚙️ *Algorithms are step-by-step instructions for solving problems. Binary search, illustrated with a phone book example, is an example of a more efficient algorithm compared to linear search.*
56:13 📈 *Binary search is a fundamentally more efficient algorithm than linear search, reducing the time complexity from O(n) to O(log n) by repeatedly dividing the problem in half.*
57:42 📈 *Algorithms can be compared based on efficiency, not just correctness. The shape of an algorithm's graph, such as logarithmic growth, indicates efficiency.*
58:09 🔄 *Efficient algorithms become crucial with larger datasets. Designing well-optimized algorithms is a key aspect of becoming a better programmer or problem solver.*
58:38 ❓ *Focus on acquiring skills to solve problems efficiently over time, not just correctly. CS50 emphasizes writing code that is both correct and well-designed.*
59:35 ❌ *The efficiency graph doesn't capture the correctness of an algorithm. Correctness requires logical analysis, while efficiency is about design and execution speed.*
01:00:32 📝 *Pseudocode is a way to express algorithmic thoughts before coding. It's written in human language, conveying steps clearly and precisely.*
01:06:42 🤖 *Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT use patterns in language to infer responses based on vast amounts of input data.*
01:10:03 🦆 *CS50 introduces an AI-based software, the CS50 duck, to aid students. The goal is to strike a balance between helpfulness and encouraging independent problem-solving.*
01:11:28 🚧 *CS50 discourages the use of external AI-based tools, emphasizing the use of its own AI software, the CS50 duck, to maintain an intellectual balance.*
01:12:56 🔗 *The CS50 duck, an AI-based tool, aims to serve as a helpful tutor rather than simply providing answers. It offers assistance within the context of the course.*
01:14:49 🤔 *Binary representation is abstracted; understanding 0's and 1's is less important than recognizing their use to represent numbers, letters, and other quantities.*

Hello I am starting today 28th August 2024. How is your experience going ?
Happy New Year 2024! Start the year by studying CS50. Thank you our great lecturer!
Learned about CS50x way too late in 2023, so I decided to just audit and start fresh in 2024.
Love the lectures and Prof. Malan energy! This definitely has made me even more excited to learn about computer science.
Just finished the lecture 0 and going to watch the other lectures consistently daily.
tideman still haunts my dreams...Best course you will ever take!
Thank you for all the life changing work you do by providing this to the global community! ❤
Happy New Year from Indonesia. 🎉

How easy was it to do the project and fulfill the requirements
@@dreamelbon3789 I finished mine yesterday. Final project took me about 2 weeks. I made a small chrome extension. It''s not hard to fulfill requirements. But few of the problem sets can be more challenging than you may expect. Full course took me 4 months. Of course it can be done faster, but i spend much time on theory, and completed almost all additional stuff.
any suggestions to complete this course effectively
rewaching this gives me new ideas and help in in my programing problems this is the best lecture i have ever taken

Ikr why did no one else notice XD
Hey guys! I've just started the course and I'm going to do it all. It's unbelievable that something so high quality is free!
This is CS50, Harvard University's introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming. Excited to dive into the world of computer science with Scratch as the first step! Thank you, Professor Malan and the entire CS50 team, for making this incredible course accessible to everyone!
Welcome aboard!
@@davidjmalan I really love your teaching methods
@@africankid.343I am kinda stuck in binary and unary method which he did with bulbs can you explain that ?
Feels like being in the actual lecture room. Entertaining, engaging and it makes me stoked about becoming a computer scientist.
That was one of the best and most fun classes i've taken hahahah , the ending was super cool!

happy new year Professor Malan!🙏
It was a amazing lecture. The learning was fun from start to end. Thank you Hardward and Devid to make learning easy and fun and free also.

@@AnnaGrace-ly7wh it is going quite well ❤️🩹
"Lecture 0" I see what you did there
.
Wish could see more of CS courses open on RUclips.
What an animated guy. Pretty overwhelming for a classic European introvert. Enthusiasm is necessary, but this guy is showing some new levels. Hope his face didn`t explode afterwards. But still, it`s inspiring and I`m very grateful for the knowledge.
I am from Poland and this is very true 😂😂😂👏👏
today is July 21 and I started today i hope I can finish this
😇😇
Hello, World! This year, I'm turning 34 years old and just diving into software engineering. I am grateful for the ability to take this course online FOR FREE! I graduated high school in 2008 (barely) however I dropped out of junior college knowing that school was never a strong point for me. I hope that CS50 will help me start fresh with understanding how to become a better problem solver.
Im starting my CS journey on 2.1.2024 lets see where I will be in 2.1.2034
Its 1 July 2024 and I am starting this course today! InshaAllah will complete it timely. Best of luck to me !
22nd June 2024 is my first day of class😊 from INDIAAAAA

Thanks to Sir David Malan , Cs50 team and Harvard , i am enjoying very much and learning new things , enjoying with the duck and robo starting out new year with Cs50
Happy New Year everyone 🎉🎉
Happy New Year to all the A+ students who are not waiting to start their 2024 New Year’s resolution 💞🥳🤩🎊🎊🤩
I LOVE CS50 AND HARVARD, LETS HOLD CS50 ONLINE FOREVER
I'm bad at programming, but NOT FOR LONG.
WISH ME LUCK BOYS 👽
