  • 10:10:00 The video discusses how Harvard's CS50 course teaches students how to use the functions malloc and free. It explains that, if these functions are not called in concert, malloc will fail and return a special value, n-u-l-l, which means something went wrong. The video then discusses an example of how this would have been used in the previous version of the program.
  • 10:15:00 The video demonstrates how to use the malloc function to allocate memory, and then how to use the stir copy function to copy strings. The author also provides an example program that has memory related errors.

  • 10:30:00 In this video, Stanford CS50 instructor Nick Parlante walks through some of the code from his course, Harvard CS50. The code contains a function to swap two values in an array. Marina, one of the students in the class, is trying to figure out how to do it. Parlante explains that the code is more complicated than it needs to be, and Marina is able to figure it out after some trial and error.
  • 10:35:00 The video demonstrates how temporary memory variables can be useful in computer programming, and how swap functions can be implemented in code. Unfortunately, the code does not work as intended, and it is explained why. Mariana's logic is correct but the use of one function versus another in computer programming can create a problem.
  • 10:40:00 The stack is a collection of memory trays that grows in size as functions are called. When a function returns, the stack "forgets" about the data it was holding and instead leaves garbage values in its place. This can lead to strange behaviors in programs, as in the case of the buggy code example.
  • 10:45:00 This video explains how to solve a problem in computer science using pointers. The problem is solved by using a temporary variable to store the original values of X and Y, and then copying those values into their respective locations.
  • 10:50:00 The video discusses how to input user input in code using the printf and scanf functions, and how to prevent potential problems. It also shows how to make a program that tries to trigger a segmentation fault, an error that can occur when the code tries to access areas of memory it is not supposed to.

The video also demonstrates how to use a hash table to store data in a specific, organized way.

  • 12:00:00 In this video, Harvard CS50 instructor David Mark describes how to write code to print out a list of numbers. He uses a for loop to initialize a temporary variable and then prints out each number in the list. The for loop uses pointers to access the individual numbers in the list, which can be confusing.
  • 12:05:00 In this video, Harvard CS50 instructor David Voss explains the for loop. This loop allows for repeated execution of a certain block of code, as long as the conditions specified at the beginning of the loop remain true. The for loop is different from the other two loops in that it uses a node star pointer (instead of an int star pointer), which the compiler understands. This allows the for loop to access specific memory locations without requiring the programmer to explicitly refer to them.
  • 12:10:00 In this video, Harvard CS50 instructor Sebastian Thrun demonstrates how to use basic syntax in a while loop to free a list of nodes. In problem set five, students will be introduced to more explicit addressing in Python and how to abstract complex code away.

It also shows an example of how a hash table would be used to store data for a story.
  • 12:55:00 The video demonstrates how to hash a deck of cards, increasing the number of buckets by one for each letter of the alphabet. This process is repeated for words and phrases. The video also explains how a hash table is theoretically faster than a single linked list, asymptotically. However, in practice a hash table will be faster than a single linked list, because it will contain more collisions.

The instructor then demonstrates how to modify the program to get the user's name and asks the user a question.
  • 14:05:00 In this video, Harvard CS50 instructor David Sax explains why using input instead of get string in Python code works just fine. He also revisits other examples from week one.
  • 14:10:00 This video explains how to use the Python and C languages to do string concatenation and division. In Python, int is a function that defaults to decimal numbers, and so a literal for INT with base 10 cannot be interpreted as a number. When an exception is raised, Python prints the error message to the user.
  • 14:15:00 The video discusses Harvard's CS50 course, which is a full university course in computer science.

  • 14:35:00 Python has a do while loop, while true, and for loop, which makes it easier to recreate the idea of a loop in the language.
  • 14:40:00 In Python, a "do while loop" behaves similarly to a "do while" loop in traditional programming languages like C. The difference is that in Python, a "do while loop" will always exit eventually if the condition is met, even if the loop is run multiple times. This feature can be used to handle exceptions in a more Python-friendly way.
  • 14:45:00 In this video, Harvard CS50 instructor David Tang explains how to use the print function in Python to create a brick prompt. When printing multiple lines, Python takes into account the line ending specified as either a backslash (\) or nothing ( ).

Then on to our first web application. Super simple. Just get someone's name and print it out. But we now have all the plumbing to create anything we want. No questions? Let's go ahead and take a five minute break and when we come back, we'll add to this some first year intramural sports. All right, we're back. Recall that the last thing we changed was the route to use post instead of get. So Gone is my name and any value in the URL. But there was kind of a subtle bug or change here that we didn't call out earlier. I typed David into the form and clicked submit. You hear it say hello, comma world. So that seems to be broken all of a sudden. Even though we added support for post, something must be wrong logically. It must be the case here intuitively that if I'm seeing hello world, that's the default value I gave the name variable. It must be that it's not seeing a key called name in request

  • 00:05:00 Today's lesson is about passwords, and how they can be secure. According to the results of a recent study, 36% of people don't use passwords that are strong enough, and 31-32% of people think their phone's password is secure. However, passwords are only as secure as the weakest link in the security chain, and if someone knows your password, they can access your account. Additionally, today's lesson discusses ways to be more secure when using online services, such as passwords, and how to protect your devices against cyber-attacks.
  • 00:10:00 The most common password according to one measure was one two three four five six. The number two password was not much better. Number three was picture one presumably for a device a website that requires that it not just be a word to have at least one number which this person took these hundreds of thousands of people took literally. The password was number four this past year. One two three four five six seven eight one one one one one one one was number one, one two three one two three varying it a little bit was number eight, one two three four five six seven eight nine zero was number nine, and number ten in 2020 was senya.
