at the end he said:

"If you take nothing else away from these lessons in intervals, remember this: A half step is a distance of one fret and a whole step is a distance of two frets.
A half step is a distance of one fret and a whole step is a distance of two frets
"
I am wondering how this help me locate the notes on different strings since he placed so much emphasis on it..

so he showed how to play the notes A to E from the 5th to the 12th fret on the first E string..and then he goes on to play the same notes A to E using the first two strings (E and A)..
but he does not show why he played it that way with the first two strings...is there some half step counting I am missing..can someone throw some light on this

this is the video I speak of
