## Basic things for Motivation/ First Essential talk
|
|
|
|
**Importance of Small Difference**
|
|
- Example 1 :
|
|
- Ask about Breaking Bad
|
|
- discuss the importance of extra 3% clear crystals that walter white made
|
|
- Example 2 :
|
|
- show Pictures of fastest man in India , Asia , World
|
|
- discuss the impact of small millisec difference in timings
|
|
- Depict it with the equation - ``` (1.01)^365 = 37.78 ```
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Qualities Essential to be the Best**
|
|
- Ask about some essential qualities needed
|
|
- Discuss the importance of few -
|
|
- Consistency
|
|
- Persistance
|
|
- Hardwork in right direction
|
|
- The will power
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Performace Equation**
|
|
- Discuss about the Performace Equation - ``` Performance = Potential - interference ```
|
|
- why the potential should be increased and interference should be decreased
|
|
- How can the performance be enhanced
|
|
- Attend All Classes
|
|
- Be Mindful
|
|
- **Learning is important**
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Many technologies, Where to start from?
|
|
|
|
- discuss about multiple technologies available , maybe ask students about some names
|
|
- frontend - js,react , angular , vue etc
|
|
- backend - java , python , ruby etc
|
|
- Machine Learning
|
|
|
|
- introduce Data structures and Algorithms
|
|
- define and differentiate
|
|
- Data Structure - Something we need to organise data / keep data / Store data
|
|
= Algorithms - the process / the steps
|
|
- give an example of toothbrush being placed in kitchen
|
|
- discuss about the importance of Data structures and Algorithms
|
|
- Eventually reach to the conclusion that Data structure and Algorithms are important
|
|
|
|
## Building a site more important than learning about Data Structures and Algorithms ?**
|
|
|
|
- Ask the question and then discuss the result with examples
|
|
- Example 1 : **E-Commerce**
|
|
- Dicuss the flow from searching a product to buying it
|
|
- Discuss why we need Data structures and Algorithms in following functionalities
|
|
- Searching a Product - need to be fast
|
|
- Sorting - basis of price , category , reviews etc
|
|
- Search typeahead - throw the name of **trie** just to introduce a wow-factor
|
|
- Concurrency problem - 1 product , 2 buyers
|
|
- Eventually convince that DSA is more important than just building a site
|
|
|
|
- Example 2 : **Food Delivery**
|
|
- Finding nearest restaurant
|
|
- Sorting the list of restaurant - basis of name , reviews , location
|
|
- **Utilisation of resources** (Explain with the help of diagram)
|
|
- Shortest path of delivery
|
|
- Shortest time is another factor to consider
|
|
- more factors which finally helps in better utilisation of resources
|
|
|
|
- Ask if it's now clear that DSA is the basic building block
|
|
|
|
## How Problem Solving works?
|
|
- Dicuss about the computer and decision making
|
|
- How the computer doesn't have mind of its own
|
|
- How every step needed to be told to computer based on several decisions
|
|
|
|
- Example 1 : **ATM Machine**
|
|
- Discuss the process outline
|
|
- Discuss the process in detail using decision tree (Don't introduce the name yet)
|
|
- after drawing a basic decision tree - introduce with the name "Decision Tree"
|
|
- Keep on focusing on the importance of decisions in problem solving
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Example 2 : **Super Mario**
|
|
- Engage students by asking about the game
|
|
- Discuss what decision making happend when you press ```->``` arrow
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Example 3 : **Pubg Game**
|
|
- Engage students by asking about the game
|
|
- Discuss what decision making happens while a person shoots in pubg
|
|
- How does energy/health reduction happens , what are different variables involved to make one decision
|
|
- Aim
|
|
- Distance
|
|
- Type of Gun
|
|
- Body Armor
|
|
|
|
## "Observation" - The key to solve Problems
|
|
|
|
- Discuss about Guass
|
|
- Ask students if they know about him, what they know
|
|
- state the problem - tell them his teacher gave him the problem
|
|
- Problem : Find the sum of numbers from 1 -> 100
|
|
- discuss that He didn't jump on problem directly, **made observation** (focus on observation)
|
|

|
|
|
|
- **Prime Numbers**
|
|
- What are prime Numbers
|
|
- why 1 and 0 are not prime
|
|
- Given a number check if it's prime or not - ask students for the solution
|
|
|
|
- Approach 1 : Iterate from 1 -> N and check if it is divisble or not
|
|
|
|
- Approach 2 : Sqaure root approach - traverse only till square root
|
|
- Intution - factors always occurs in pairs - focus on presenting it as an observation
|
|
- give proof by examples
|
|
- Time analysis between O(N) and O(squareRoot(N))
|
|
|
|
- Considering one % (mod operation - ask if they know) takes 1 msec
|
|
|
|
N | Approach 1 - N steps | Approach 2 - sqaureRoot(N) steps
|
|
-- | -------------------- | --------------------------------
|
|
11 | 11 msec | 3 msec
|
|
101 | 101 msec | 10 msec
|
|
100000 | 16.6 min | 1 sec
|
|
10^18 | 116 days | 1.66 min
|
|
- Ask them if they appreciate the improvement in timings - put more focus
|
|
|
|
- **Find sqaure root of a given Number**
|
|
- Explain the problem - have to find the integer part
|
|
|
|
- Approach - 1 :
|
|
- iterate i from 1 to N and check if square of i is <= N
|
|
- if square <= N - it is current ans
|
|
- else stop the process - **WHY?** - Explain
|
|
- Ask if the Approach 1 is fast enough to increase the curiosity
|
|
|
|
- Approach - 2 :
|
|
- start by stating an observation
|
|
- pick some random element and check if it's square is <= or > than N
|
|
- based on previous checks decide to ignore one part - properly explain this with example
|
|
- now rather than picking random , pick middle element
|
|
- reason for picking middle element - it always removes atleast half of the prospect solution
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Discuss the time Analysis
|
|
|
|
## How Data Structures helps in Problem Solving?
|
|
|
|
- Discuss how just the way of organising the data can optimise the solution
|
|
- Give example of toothBrush , how toothbrush stored in kitchen would result in ineffeciency
|
|
|
|
- **Dictionary Word Search**
|
|
- Discuss the process of searching a word in dictionary
|
|
- Relation with the sqaure root problem
|
|
- Name of the Algorithm - Binary Search
|
|
|
|
- How are we able to apply the Binary Search
|
|
- Order matters (Main situation)
|
|
- Arrangement of Data Matters / Organisation of Data Matters
|
|
|
|
- **HC Verma** Example - searching a word in HC verma
|
|
- Why Binary search won't work
|
|
- No particular organisation of data
|
|
- Can sort all the words - But is it effecient ? NO!
|
|
|
|
- Discuss Index / Appendix
|
|
- How data is stored in a different way which improves efficency
|

|
|
|
|
- Data Structure used - **Inverted Index**
|
|
- All search engines use this to optumise the search
|
|
|
|
