Leetcode #347: Top K Frequent Elements
Just finished "Top K Frequent Elements" and wanted to write down my thought process while it is still fresh. I also use this blog as a quick reference, so I wanted to add some notes on data/heap to my little cheatsheet.
Math for Gamedev 101: Trigonometry
This is part two of the "Math for Gamedev 101" series. You can read part one here: Math for Gamedev 101: Vectors . As before, these are my notes from Simon's course on Math for Game Developers . This part is dedicated to basic trigonometry. The first GIF is from the Wikipedia article on radians , and the second one was generated with ImageMagick from this Racket snippet .
Math for Gamedev 101: Vectors
Recently I bought Simon's course on Math for Game Developers and as I finally found some time to go through the first couple of chapters I would like to share my lecture notes here. I used Racket for mathematical functions and comments for plain English, a lot of stuff is also borrowed from the wiki page on Euclidean vectors .
