Tell me /g/ why can't I get motivated for algorithms as much I am about actual programming? It's so confusing and dry
maybe you're more of a machinist than an engineer. nothing wrong with that! just focus on what you enjoy.

>algorithms
>so confusing
HAHAHAHAHAHA, brainlet.
>>59683144
Yes but however, it is a requirement at my university for compsci and it certainly doesn't help having a world famous professor teaching it
>>59683136
computer science is a broad field. you don't have to be motivated about everything

>codemonkey sad
>codemonkey doesn't have purpose
boo fucking hoo. try to find an idea guy and friend him.

Algorithms are undeniably the most fun part about programming.
If you just want to spew boilerplate, maybe you're a CRUD codemonkey.
Algorithms are a meme.
So is CS in general desu. You're not doing research.
>>59683689
This, you're just regurgitating what other people have made.
>>59683345
This.
algorithms ARE programming.
The rest is noise to link algorithms together
>>59683345
this
programming was confusing UNTIL I learned sorting, searching, linked lists, graphs, trees, heaps
Bump because I want people to insult OP more
Algorithmics is the best area of CS, followed by distributed systems
