@michaeltheisen

These ideas were saved in my head as a sequence of words for the entirety of my undergrad. If 5 short minutes you managed to actually help me understand a huge gap in my understanding. Thank you so much.

@kohltonpeterson3287

This is one of the best programming related videos I have ever watched.  It cleared up so much of my confusion in C++.

@luminuslux

Not gonna lie, i cant state enough how explanations like this can massively improve your understanding of why code works the way it does. Just learning to code is one thing, but understanding whats behind all of it and WHY whatever thing actually is happening, can definitly up your game. Im not a pro by any means, but i think stuff like this is very important.
The visual presentation also makes it way easier to follow and connect the concepts - so thx for that 😊

@TylerCalifornia

Alex, you made my day. I would call you one of the best instructors! Your explanations are flawless. You explain perfectly in context. For instance, where you explain why variables are not accessible outside the method.

@Misteribel

3:01 small correction. A const is NOT allocated on the heap. In fact, it's embedded on the call site at compile time (in C#/F#/VB), the reference is removed (you can test this: create a const in another lib, reference and use it in your lib. Compile. Now update the const in the referenced lib and recompile, but do not recompile your lib. You'll see it did not change on the call site). What you probably want is readonly, which, in your example at 3:01, would then be allocated on the heap.

@Tanessok

Thank you sir. Good Explanation.
Please, I wish you make a video on "Why in Java, Do Local Variables Used in Lambdas Have to Be Final or Effectively Final?" and please make the explanations at the memory level too, so we can understand all the mechanics behind it.

@scubagoblin

Reading a book right now that explains this concept rather poorly over 20 pages. You managed to grant me understanding in 5 minutes, and now I can continue reading past the chapter. Thank you, great explanation!

@bitwise-dev

Finally a much simpler with actual sample code that explain the whole stack and heap stuff. Now I understand why and when OOM occurs in app, the usual suggestion is to increase heap size but said to be slow or when we do recursion recklessly we get stackoverflow.

@patrickmccarthy7124

The analogy of a stack of books provided much needed clarity for me. I appreciate the video mate!

@RYANCARNEY-dc2qe

This video actually answered all my questions about how the stack and heap work together. Great explanation!

@christymathew9035

YOU ARE LITERALLY CAPABLE OF REPLACING 99 PERCENT OF TEACHERS WHO PATHETICALLY FAILED TO TEACH ME THIS CONCEPT. THE CLARITY WITH WHICH YOU JUST EXPLAINED IT SHOWS THE TRUE MASTERCLASS YOU ARE IN. I WISH I DINT WASTE MONEY IN COLLEGE WHEN PEOPLE LIKE YOU EXIST. LOVE YOU SIR ❤

@fuadadio

Your videos are awesome and very clear. 
Can't wait for a full CS playlist. Thanks for what you do for the community Alex.

@0bsy96

My jaw dropped when you explained what happens to variables declared in the stack, I never made the connection between this fact and the scope of variables, thank you soooo much !!!

@thepianist7379

This is the best explanation of stack vs heap because it relates to actual coding. Fantastic job!

@Saad.Makhdumi

Very good explanation, in short amount of time. I hope all IT folks see this video and understand these topics. Thank you Alex.

@AhmedAlsabsab

Finally I understand the difference in few words and short time... keep doing videos like this

@b25671

I've seen multiple videos of you now... you can explain the essence of things very well. It's a talent. Very good. Thank you!

@alexsal6069

This is an excellent video about how the memory works, I love the last part about asynchronous methods. Thank you for this awesome content. I wish you could speak more about asynchronous functions. 😃

@austinhummel5439

I can't put into words how helpful this video was. Thank you Alex!

@sonederbr

The best explanation/animation ever.
