not only did I fully learn and understand the logic behind the comparator function, but I also found myself starting to relax and peacefully enjoy learning it just by the cadence and tone of your voice. Thank you! Just subscribed
Thank You So Much. I've been flipping through hours of videos and documentations but still struggle to understand what the comparator function do. Your video definitely makes things clearer especially when you wrote out the if statements and have them return -1, 1, and 0. Everything just clicked.
I was stuck with the problem of writing a custom sort for my nested array and when I found the MDN docs for the topic I couldn't understand the logic behind returning 1, -1 & 0. But sir you explained so well and really saved me & made my day, I can't thank you enough.
I finally understood the sort method and comparator function but what I don't understand is how come this guy only has around 8K subscribers!?? Given the quality of the content, imo he should have atleast half a million subs
Thank you so much. a) Very organized explanation and easy to understand. b) Soothing voice in the midst of this confusion called learning. c) Liked and subscribed. Thanks again,
I wanted to thank you for the video, I could understand better the a-b logic, and I also had some fun while learning. Keep posting videos like this, means a lot for some of us, even when English is not our first language, we learn a lot.Thanks again.
Im pretty sure you could teach an Ant to become an austronaut, but for real, i wasn't understanding it clearly but you made it simple for me, thank you!
i encourage you to do more tutorial , i never have i ever commented on some tutorial videos this was the first one the way that you explain is was so good ,keep doing it
Bro you deserve million of subscribers. I watched a lot of videos before i finally found this masterpiece. Thank you so much it really helped a lot. Hope our professors would teach the way you do.
Wow you are very good! Probably the best in explaining the comparator function. So far, you might be the only one who show the respective utf code, and also be comprehensive enough to show for alphabets and numbers. Liked plus Subscribed!
Thank you. I like to learn how and why something is the way it is. I intend to reverse engineer the sort method myself to fully understand and appreciate the method. I think I can do it by using nested for loops and conditional logic.
That was just too good. Thank you so much for such a lucid explanation. Keep contributing your knowledge. There are very few people out there who can teach concepts in such detail.
Thank you so much for your excellent explanation. Now I really do understand the logic behind those dubious comparator functions after having read it in a book. Great video! I subscribed right away
The first iteration a is going to take the value of the second item in the array and b is going to take the first item of the array. [5, 2] comparatorFunction(a, b) // a = 2 and b = 5
really really thanks a lot🙏🙏 this makes all clear for me about sort method thanks to you🙏 i really appreciate your efforts sir🙏 thank you so much this is really appreciable🌸✨ thank you once again for saving me✨
a tiny correction, in the comparator function, the first argument(a) is actually the second value of a pair of adjacent values being compared. So in the case of [2, 5, 100, 4], on the first iteration, a is 5 and b is 2. It's a little counter intuitive but in that case, a < b means 5 < 2. If true, we return a negative number, which means a should be before b, that is 5 should be before 2. (This is false) Else if a > b i.e., 5 > 2, we return positive number, which means b should be before a, that is 2 should be before 5. (This is true)
Hi, thanks for the very clear explanation, it's the first video I see which explains it in depth to this extent. There's just something which I was wondering about the comparator function : how exactly does it do the comparison between the different elements in the array? What exactly is happening behind the scenes? Some special kind of algorithm is implemented to compare the elements in a certain order? (is the first element compared to all the other elements of the array, then the second to all the others until the end, etc. or something else?) Hopefully my question makes sense.
if I have 2 numbers in array [ 2, 5] And I use .sort(...) with comparable fn, and I just console log a and b....5 will show as a, and 2 as b....why is that?
What I don' t understand is how the values are taken after the first operation? For example , in the video , in the first step a is 2 and b is 5 so 2 is sorted before 5. However, after that which value is taken as a and b? Is it 2 and 100 or 5 and 100? I am confused. Can someone please explain the step wise process of this sort operation?

Excellent! Thanks for subscribing Roman!
1000% percent. He's such a natural.
really hits the spot in my ADHD brain! glad I found this video. now I understand the comparator function much better!
That's great to hear Mondir. 👍🏻 Thanks for watching!
couldn't' agree more!
holy smokes. the most thorough video on a comparator function ever. this made it really click for me. amazing walk-through and explanation.
Great to hear, thanks for watching!
finally someone explained this in such an easy manner.💕
Glad to hear!
you have no idea how much content i've watched until finding this video that made everything so clear for me! thanks a lot, Gregg!
Glad it helped!
I have 4 best-rating courses on Udemy, but this teacher is THE BEST.
Thank you for watching!
underrated ytber , only vid on yt who perfectly explains the sorting method hats off bro ,
I appreciate that!
Amazing! Showing the reason why it is sorting the way it sorting was the best part!
Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
why this video has so few views? he literally explained it in a way I'll never forget my entire life!
Thank you, glad it was helpful!
i love how thorough you were. i watched it twice and now i can see so many ways that this will be useful.
Excellent, thanks for watching!

Thanks to this video I could do exercise number 8 of Jonas Schmedtmann's coding challenge about array methods! Thank you so much, nice voice btw!
You're very welcome!
Really clear explanation. Love how you explain return logic and the charCodeAt logic. Thanks
Glad you liked it
I was so confused before, thank you so much to explain this in such a simple and easier way.

the only good video on basic sort so far
Glad it was helpful!
Hands down the best explanation, Thank you very much!

Sir, your way of explaining is too good, 💎
Thanks Robin!
Im pretty sure you could teach an Ant to become an austronaut, but for real, i wasn't understanding it clearly but you made it simple for me, thank you!
Glad I could help!
i wasnt sure how the -1 and 0 and 1 affect the returned result.. thanks for claryfing things up !
Awesome!
Finally! What a clear explanation, thank u!! I would love if you make a video explaining what return is :)
Do you mean "return" as in a return statement within a function?
@@TheCodeCreative Yup, return statement within a function

The first iteration a is going to take the value of the second item in the array and b is going to take the first item of the array.
[5, 2]
comparatorFunction(a, b) // a = 2 and b = 5
I see indeed, do you know why ?
Thank you, finally understood
