Universities, pay to use websites, overpriced textbooks, Udemy courses, exclusive courses: People have to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to learn even basic Java and it's going to be several long years of study to even get past the introductory phases. Alex Lee: Hold my beer.
Tell me..... Enrolled this so called top 30th best CS universities in the world. So disappointed tubes of money thrown at it and all you get back is self-study. Capitalism just turned to be a piss taken.
This is good as an intro but not good enough for an exam question or interview. You may feel you get it but now write a fibonacci sequence and see if you can do that i bet you can't
Well yeah, this tutorial is not bad, but it's definitely made for "java beginners". For example, when the StackOverflow exception appears he saids that "The computer can't handle it" which is wrong because the computer can handle it, it's just the program stack being overflown. Program stack size is the limitation, not the computer hardware..
@@joeatefabdullah4095 Well no, I'm not saying that he's wrong. When I was learning about recursion, it was important for me to understand how the program stack works, because it then all makes sense. He ignored the topic of program stack in this video in order to make it more beginner friendly, but I'd say that it's very important to understand how the program stack works if you want to fully understand recursion.
How can it save your exams... If u dont even know that hat are u doing here in this university ?? People are not even working alone by themselves today...
@@ValoFranceClips Everyone learns differently and at different speeds. Some people can figure things out by themselves just fine, and other people learn better when something is explained to them by someone else in a certain way. Just because someone learns differently from you doesn't make them stupid or incapable of becoming a programmer. The fact that they're here trying to learn instead of asking for a classmate's code to turn in is actually a really great sign imo.
I absolutely love all of your videos!! You go straight to the point and explain in a way anyone can easily understand. It removes the fear in me when I start coding Congrats on your 10k! Next stop, 100k!!
I watched this video the day before my exam, and I got a question about how to make recursion on my exam. This video really helped me boost up my grades, thank you, Alex, for this video tutorial, I appreciate this so much, it's such a blessing
Dude I can't thank you enough for making DSA so easy and understandable for me. I recommend your channel to every person if they ask me something related to java programming. God bless you and I wish that you get a million subs very soon :D
Your way definitely simplified it for me. Other teachers are teaching it in reverse where the last method invoked exits first. With your explanation, that way is also easier for me to wrap my head around. Good job man.
Thankyou so much for actually explaining why things have to go where they go! Watched 5 videos before this that didn't help. Yours got me to the right answer, thanks again!
Thank you so much, I have a Java exam in a week and my prof cancelled all of the classes we were supposed to discuss recursion. The notes for lack of a better term were stupid. This video definitely cleared up recursion :D
I'm addicted to your channel. The past week I was struggling with recursion. However, since I started your playlist, it became expressive easier to fill my gaps and fully understand it. Thank you!
Hope everything's going well dude. I find myself coming back to your channel over and over whenever I'm having issues understanding a certain topic in my CSE classes. Thank you so much for making these videos.. You are truly a gift!
You are an actual life saver man, a god send. I should just set all of your videos on autoplay and take notes on that rather than watching the brain numbing, poorly thought out lectures that my teachers are dumping on me.
I don’t really leave comments but I have to on this video because this tutorial is the only thing that has helped me learn recursion. Thank you so much!
Absolutely amazing. Your tutorials are the best. Your channel should have way more subscribers and you're giving me inspiration not only with programming, but also with your teaching attitude. Keep creating amazing contact!
Finished Playlist one and playlist two of Java basics, now on to intermediate Java. Thank you for engaging with the audience and being so relatable. I am in fond of your teaching and I must say your my Java Guru. Love your videos and thank you for making impact in my life on my journey to becoming a programmer. Lots of love from New York City!
I'm just happy that I watched this video before I started reading recursion chapter. My books starts off recursion with factorial example followed by Fibonacci sequence and then Sierpinski triangle pattern and many more complex stuff like tower of Hanoi tower problem, etc..🤯 Very good into. Thanks! Don't you say that you are gonna stop teaching again Alex. We need you.
Started my second semester this March and I am so, so, so thankful for all of your videos! 😭 I had to miss a lot of lessons in programming last semester since I've got sick for a couple of weeks and couldn't catch up on everything (and still struggle because of it) But your explanations are great, they're short so my ADHD brain stays focused, your examples are great, and my frustration (and anxiety) stays low. 🙈 Programming is fun and your videos do help me to maintain this mindset and keep trying 💪🏻
I dont know if you wil read this, but thank you! Very easy to understand and makes me like Java. It looks so hard when someone doesnt know how to explain it.
Came across the same topic in w3schools but find the example difficult to understand so I ended up here which is fantastic because everything was well explained and easy to understand. Thanks a lot and keep it up in sharing your knowledge!
Thanks a lot! I've tried to understand how exactly the recursion works for 2 days.. you've explained it in less than 10 minutes! Like and subscription!
Exactly the video I needed. I can't believe free code camp tried to explain this in a few simple sentences. This makes perfect sense after watching your video on it. Thanks a ton.
this is actually very very helpful! thank you so so much! the explanation is much clearer than any other websites i find online and the examples are perfect!
5:39 - "So here's what's happening..." then proceeds to explain to me that content that my lecturers couldn't in 2 months of classes in about 40 seconds.
In first example code has potential bug, in base case you are checking if n==0, but if user will pass negative number when calling the method recursive method will keep executing that causes again StacjOverflow exception. To avoid these type of edge cases better to pass if(n
I just wanted to let you know that I thought bucky was the best programmer in youtube but not until I discovered you, you make programming with a heart, interesting, fun and amazing. I look up into you! uhmm Keep going and stay awesome!
thanks bro normally after every 2-3days of programming i feel it very difficult even those concepts which i already covered.Then when i am worried i watch your tutorials and there it is i got it ,again, thank you so much.TRUST ME I AM NOT BUTTERING😂😂😂😂😂😂.keep it up. if i speak specificially i was confused that what is recursion(offcourse a nightmare) but now i have an idea of what is it thanks again and keep it up again😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So, I noticed that all of the examples in this video could easily be done with a for loop instead. What are the advantages, if any, of using recursion, as opposed to a for loop?
fantastic explanation of recursion. If you see recursion being taught with "Fibonacci sequence "as the first illustration, forget that and use the 2 examples here.
Hi Alex, could you please explain why the recursion stops after hitting the basecase instead of just infinitely printing out "Done!"?... I would think that the method would keep calling itself unless specificly asked to snap out of it?

I started learning coding after Corona virus Pandemic and I will say this is best channel to learn java.
Thank You
5:38 explanation is SO helpful and makes it much easier to understand. Love the videos man :)
You're so enthusiastic and you never make me feel bored while learning how to code! I usually don't comment on videos but you sure deserve it!
recursion were a nightmare ..but after this video it has become day dream
ps:btw ur flips r great...good progress
You broke recursion down so well that I understood on the first try. Thank you so much!!
I find your Java tutorials very helpful. I'm sorry you have stopped making them. Wish you the best :)

Thank you so much, I have a Java exam in a week and my prof cancelled all of the classes we were supposed to discuss recursion. The notes for lack of a better term were stupid. This video definitely cleared up recursion :D
I've learned more in a week of watching your videos than in my entire Beginning Programming semester. Thanks.
Reigniting my fire to keep learning to code when I get stuck! Thank you so much for all of these videos!
Dude your video is super easy to understand the concept of recursion.Thank you Mann!.Can wait to watch more of your video.
I'm addicted to your channel. The past week I was struggling with recursion. However, since I started your playlist, it became expressive easier to fill my gaps and fully understand it. Thank you!
THANK YOU! In 9 minutes you helped me understand the 18th chapter of my textbook! Thanks Again!
This has helped a lot, especially since I have an AP exam coming up and I have been struggling with recursion for the longest time

I am so glad I found this video, you saved me a lot of time.
Keep doing what you are doing Alex! These videos are truly helping me out immensely!
I always come first to your training to understand it. You are very talented and make it easy for the rest of us to learn the concepts.

Thanks for giving the tutorial given from ur side. I am now slowly learning for my final year project. Really appreciate it!!!
The best explanation of the recursion on youtube :-)
Thanks a lot!
you are unbelievable, Thank you so much for making things such simple to understand
You are the best programming teacher I have ever seen you're perfect 👍☺️
this is actually very very helpful! thank you so so much! the explanation is much clearer than any other websites i find online and the examples are perfect!
Alex you are my savior. I might actually pass my data structures class now
I really like the way you teach, always very smooth and clear.
by far the most helpul videos. thank you alex for making this so simple :')
You're honestly such a lifesaver man thank you so much for this.
This video saved me in my java class. Recursion seemed so confusing until now.
I genuinely thought I would never understand this omg thank you !! :'D
thanks you really helped me out for my exam! definetly subscribed! greetings from Bavaria, Germany :)

Can you use the for statement instead?

Thank you Alex! Very helpful!
clear and crystal, thank you so much!
I was reading the book and like wth! Thanks for the explanation.
You, sir, deserve my professor's paycheck
Thank you. Learning java with this and Caleb.
For some reason my "done" statement keeps priting at the top but it should print at the bottom?
bro thank you this made a lot of sense
How would you use a recursive method involving boolean values? Like checking if a palindrome is true or false as an example.
