Great video! I am looking forward to the rest of the season.

It is useful to have some working knowledge of binary, even for self-taught or bootcamp attendees/grads, so I recommend checking out all of baseCS' content. Every time data is added to a program, it stores binary data to the computer's finite memory or finite storage which can cause inefficiencies in your program if you aren't careful. If a value is not needed or used, get rid of it! Also, every line of code is eventually translated to binary instruction(s) to execute on a CPU, which can only run one instruction at a time. Remove that unnecessary code!
