I already had the answer to optimal solution but only because this is EXACTLY what you do in your head when you are comparing prices at a grocery store. Maximizing the value/size ratio to stay within a certain limit (your grocery budget).
Tim, please more videos like this. 20-30 videos of Greedy algorithms then 20-30 videos of Dynamic programming, then Divide and Conquer - this is the real programming: Django, Flask, React everyone can learn fast, but Algorithms are more important.
Do you realise how much work goes into even a single video? The research and fact checking, development, storyboarding, editing and all the steps I didnt mention mean a 20 minute video for us takes 2-4 days each to make. 20 videos is way way way overkill for just about anything you could want to learn. You would actually want like 3-5 videos on it as thats an hour and a half of lectures, is more than enough to explain a topic, and won't take him a full year to get out.
@@736939 first off, competitive programming is fun. But its full of bad practices that should never be within 300 light-years of production code. Secondly, I just said the videos take days to create and check. Most Vlogs even take several hours worth of takes for big channels. The only time something takes "20 minutes" is in your head or on stream.
Nice video, also a good example because I actually understood on my own the greedy algorithm of the fractional knapsack problem. Keep making videos about algorithms !
this is just explain for "Fractional Knapsach Problem" solved by "Greedy Algorithms", there are many more Problems we can use "Greedy" to resolve. but this clip is good at explaining so well done.
@@shdwshdw-mu6vo no that's not true, 0 and 1 are completely different. Values other than 0 maybe treated as 1 in some cases but i have never seen 0 treated as 1. Tim most likely just made a mistake there.
Hello . I am new to this topic - however with your explanation and some maths background this is easy topic to understand. Excellent explanation. Tim you are doing a superb job- keep it up.
This is really useful Tim, but you might want to be slightly more careful with the numbers you say and write on the screen lol. A couple of times you misspoke or mis-wrote.
Do a series on Metaheuristics, the video simplifies alot what I know is a very difficult subject, not all problems are small enough to solve like this in code or have simple heuristics to solve. I am interested in more videos on this kind of algorithms of optimization.
??? If you can get fractions of item, why not just select the best value/size item for all? What's the point in just getting one of it? Really don't understand how this derives any optimal solution.
Tim, with all due respect. Pretty please invest in a digital inkpad your handwriting is worse then a busy doctors... Writing with the mouse is hard but I think you will be fine with a e-pad.
