Usually by the time someone these subjects down enough for anything substantial in ML then they've seen enough different languages to suss out the general idea of most algorithm sample code."
I learned calculus and linear algebra long before learning to code.
- stusmall 13y agoI don't mean to be snarky, but how was your data structures knowledge then? He asked "Is there some requirement that ML _must_ be an advanced topic" and I listed a few prerequisite pieces of knowledge that make it fairly advanced. You may learn those prerequisites in a different order but they are required before you properly tackle machine learning without cargoculting through it.
