Really helpful in understanding concepts in algorithms and data structures.I would suggest if another course with similar quality has been made available for students who wish to learn Java course.

I mean it is alright like, you have to use some LLM in order for you to understand the code in current version of Java or any language you use to learn here. Very good explanations are provided.
