7 years ago, better explanation than any modern source
Still better than anything else from 2023 😂
yeah for real
now, 8 years ago
because every mf decides to hide the algorithm behind opaque notation
Tomorrow is my exam and this has saved my day . Thanks a lot man🙌
+Bharat Singh Me either :p
My exam is in two hours.
I'm giving my exam.
You take an exam and not 'give' an exam. :)
what if he was at that moment handing in his exam?
excellent work! I will be sure to pass this on to anyone else that needs help with this concept in my algorithms class
+Cameron Ellis Thanks Cameron. Glad you enjoyed.
it's unbelievable how well you explain the algoritms
Thank you so much ! It's just pretty amazing how we spent 2 sessions of 2 hours in an amphitheatre trying to learn this and turn the algorithm by following the literal code, and here I got it in literally 5 minutes. I'm so eternally grateful.
I love how universities teach computer science like social studies
You have the lightest and best understandable pseudo-code i've seen !
Thanks a lot !
Very eloquently demonstrated, Michael!
Bless. Thank you so much. This makes WAY more sense than the pitiful amount of explanations on it in my class. I have my final in an hour and a half and you might have just saved me a world of hurt.
Hey Michael!
Your videos are really time saving and awesome! It would be a great help if you made such videos on string matching algorithms like KMP, Rabin Karp, Finite Automata and Naïve as well!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! I learn so much when you explain short and simple- THANK YOU!
Thank you, relaxing edges seems now so easy when drawn instead of all these number and steps in algorighms!
Thank you! Already shared your channel with my friends. We have design & analysis of algorithms exam tomorrow and your videos are short and precise.
Thanks for the video. It'll help me get through my homework and (maybe) final. I'll show this to anyone else stuck on this problem.
Thanks a lot man...I am going for exams and these 5-minute video will definitely add some marks to my paper...
jeez if the professor at our uni could explain it this way. simple and straight forward to the point. thanks a lot
I finally understood Bellman-Ford. Thanks for the working example.
Instead of only outputting the distance, it would be nice to add that, for each node one can keep track of the parent node where the current shortest distance is found, then traverse backwards from the destination to the source to obtain the shortest path.
Very important, it is also missing in the pseudocode, the prev attribute is set to nil initially, but not changed in the update procedure
Great videos, I encourage you to make a full library of these
Wow my professor took about 20min to explain this and I didn't really get it. I thought it was hard, but after watching your video in 1/4th the time I am able to explain to others how to run the algorithm, and truly understand it. Turns out it isn't hard at all - just need someone good like you to explain it! Thanks a ton.
Thank you so much for your fantastic work! I found learning these techniques by merely reading textbooks and listening to university lecturers pretty bland and counter-intuitive, but fortunately your visualized examples have given me a much clearer picture. in fact I started to understand the all the previously incomprehensible texts and pseudo-codes just after having seen your videos, and I would very much appreciate if you have any plans in the future to share further videos on NP-complete problems and approximation algorithms. Have a nice day!
More on the way, thank you for watching.
You must have spent a huge amount of time on drawing all these pictures. thank you so much!!!
This helped me a lot with my exams. Thanks a lot brother. You are a savior 😅
Straightforward and clear demonstration of the algorithm. Your video helped me a lot. Thanks :)
You are welcome! Thanks for watching.
Only video on Bellman-Ford that cemented my understanding.
Thank you! much better and simpler than so many ppt slides
thank you so much...!!! 😢😢 i had tears in my eyes....it cleared completely all my doubts...
Thaaaaaaaaanks man............you saved my life...it's the best explanation of bellman-ford algo for me
I've have exam in half an hour and here I am watching this video! Thanks Man!
Hope you managed to pass 👍😀
Thanks Very Much, I Really Appreciate It. I have watched many videos on this topic in the last hour but You explained the BEST. THANKS, Michael!
I've never seen better explanation about Bellman-Ford than this video. Thanks a lot!
Thank you!
New knew Bellman Ford algorithm was so easy. Great content man 🔥
really good explanation! thank you, Michael.
Thank u so much. It's the best Bellman Ford Descrption Video I've ever seen!
Great explanation, very easy to understand. Thanks so much!
I have a discrete mathematics test coming up, and thanks to you, now i understand better. Thanks¡
You juste saved me one hour before my exam, thank you so much :D
Nice!
You may want to add how to check for negative-weight cycles.
for sure something that's missing from this video. Especially when this is a big advantage for this algorithm
Excellent explanation. Very concise.
Cant be better. Thanks a lot.
Tomorrow is my exam and this has saved my day . Thanks a lot man :)
Great excercise I like it..it's very useful for us and everybody...everybody can see this and learn this excercise easily from this channel.
If only lectures were as easy and straightforward as your tutorials
Best tutorial out there! Good work mate!
i was litterly in a middle of a half an hour exam and i didnot know what was this algorithm i opened youtube and found you and litterly in less than 2 mins i understood it and solved the exam thanks bro ❤❤
bruh
how can I get the critical path using this method ?
Awesome simple explanation, thanks!
Great Illustration Sir. Thanks for the video...!
very clear and concise, thanks a bunch man!
This has very much saved my day for my final tomorrow. Thanks, Michael.
Glad I could help! Good luck on your final, Brandon.
@@MichaelSambol Fantastic Michael. This video's helpful for me and glad I watched this.
Very very veryyyyy great for my prepare to exam tomorrow. Thank you!
I am headed to my exam rightnow ...You saved my life
Doing the exact same thing now!
You are a god for every cs student! All hail Michael!
No negative cycle detection int this video, which is a key part of Bellman Ford!!!
Very clear and informative. Thank you.
A comprehensive short and sweet video
Than you!!!
Clear and concise video, thanks!
efficient and direct. Thank you.
It's such a perfect explanation. Please make a video on Master's Theorem.
thanks so much your method of teaching is very detailed..thanks again for making this video!
Big thumbs up. Very well explained!
Love this! I've been stuck for hours
great video, short and to the point
It is really good and concise ! Thank you
Good, easy, short explanation. These algorithms aren't hard, but everyone makes them really hard by making videos that are way too long and with unnecessary information. Show the algorithm first, then the detail. Good job!
Vidéo de qualité avec des sous-titres en Français écrits avec soin. Merci :)
genius, its clear and easy to understand, thanks man
nothing will ever beat this vid
Perfect explanation.. Thanks alot man
You are awesome! Thank you for the explanation!
wow your explanation is the best bro keep it up
Great video for a refresher!
thank you!
Thank you very much. I couldn’t find anything useful on Russian, so I found this video and it help me
Woow, You saved lot of time. Thank You very much.
thanks, you helped me in my time of need
It's an awesome video mate. Thank you very much..!
Thanks! Great and brief video :)
Man, you're amazing, thank you
It helped me so much! Thank you :)
Thanks a lot man, Tomorrow is my exam you have saved my day ......
Very nice explanation. Thanks a lot. Thumbs UP.
excellent explanation! thank you!
Thanks sir for giving this great explanation .
this video helps a lot for my understanding.. finally...
Fast accurate videos. Thank you!
+FolksGames Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching.
Hi, you have an awesome video here and easy to understand. Can I request for you to make a video on Floyd-Warshall's Algorithm? Truly apprecited.
Thank u. u r the god of teaching algorithm.
nice, that was some good explaining man!
This is real eduation. Today's over 1k students' CS class with low pass rate can only be called a filter, it is not a class!
Great Video 🙌🙌🙌 Thanks It's been really helpful
Great video . It helps me a lot . tk you pretty much
you have started from the node S then you go to A node but what if i visit E 1st ! does it matter if i choose E node over A node! or the choosing of nodes depends no how i create my adjacency list ? or does it depends on the weights of the edges ? I am a bit confused in which node i should 1st A or E !
This is a long answer, just because that I wanted to summarize it for myself, and if I am wrong about anything below, please write a comment.
It doesn't matter which edge you choose first but you must update all of them. In any case, first, you will at least reach to E and A and in the second iteration D and C and so on.
Why doesn't it matter: Let P be the shortest simple path from A to B for example, then its length is less than |V| and at i-th iteration, you have the shortest simple path from S to all nodes which are reachable in i many steps (or maybe more). So, after |V|-1 steps, you will eventually observe P, maybe a little bit early, depending on your choice.
For example, you started the iteration i and updated an edge (X,Y), then you choose another edge. You could use the old information about the edge (X,Y), I mean you can use dist(X,Y) at iteration i-1, you don't need to hurry.
Of course, I am assuming that there is no negative cycles. We are actually looking for the shortest SIMPLE paths but the algorithm is looking for shortest paths and if after |V|-1 many iterations, an edge is still "updatable", we understand that there exists a negative cycle in our graph, so we could add this "check" step and search for negative cycles and the algorithm would be more complete.
Also Moore-Bellman-Ford can accept edges with negative weights, contrary to the Dijkstra's algorithm, because Dijkstra's algorithm prefers minimal edges and we could actually end up with a longer simple path even tough any other path started with a bigger weight than the weight of all the whole path using the initial minimal edge. I couldn't write this in a clear way, so here an example:
V(G) = {s,a,b,t}, E(G) = {(s,a),(s,b),(a,b),(b,t)} with weights respectively 3, 1, -3, 1.
Dijkstra's algorithm yields 2 because after reaching t with 2, it doesn't even bother to look at (s,a). But MBF-algorithm check all of them, so this is not a
problem:
Initialization: dist(s) = 0, all others are infinity, all prev(s)'s are empty.
1st iteration: dist(a) is 3 / prev(a) is {s}, dist(b) is 1 / prev(b) is {s}, others are infinity / empty.
2nd iteration: dist(a) is 3 / prev(a) is {s}, dist(b) is 1 / prev(b) is {s} but dist(b) is updated to 0 / prev(b) = {a} and lastly dist(t) is 2 / prev(t) is {b}.
3rd iteration: (s,a), (s,b) and (a,b) doesn't update anything but (b,t) does and as an answer we have:
dist(s) = 0, prev(s) = empty // path is empty, s = s
dist(a) = 3 , prev(a) = s // path is s, a
dist(b) = 1, prev(b) = s // path is s, b
dist(t) = 1, prev(t) = b (and we can deduce the path via looking at prev(b) and prev(s)) // path is path(b), t = path(s), b, t = s, b, t.
you should go from lowest according to alphabet to have a selection rule which is indeed needed in the algorithm.
Kinda forgot the cycle detection there lad. If the algorithm still finds a better path after n-1 iterations a negative cycle must exist. Which is one of the great powers of Bellman-ford's.
No algo can find shortest distance if there exists a negative cycle
@@it41tanmayaron26 Yes but it can detect one and return a message stating that one exists and that the shortest path is -∞
In the algorithm you have a prev() table that you don't update next neither you use it on the animation. Other than that great job
Great video Michael!
Someone please tell me if bellman ford and distance routing algorithm are both same.
@LiGht YaGami 2 years later, your answer is still saving grades. Thank you!
@@Scondoro What answer? :'(
thanku sir much simpler explanation and exact point
Thank you from Algeria ! :D
better than my uni lecture. Thanks!
Awesome video. Loved it.
@Michael Samol
Why do you declare a prev(u) = nil, if you don't use it in the code?
Thank you very much ...for all you have done
