What is the main idea behind dynamic programming?
  1. To solve problems recursively without storing results

  4. To avoid using any form of recursion

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main idea behind dynamic programming?
  • Step 1: Understand that dynamic programming is a method used to solve complex problems.
  • Step 2: Break the complex problem into smaller, simpler problems called subproblems.
  • Step 3: Solve each subproblem one time only, instead of solving it multiple times.
  • Step 4: Store the solutions of these subproblems in a table or array.
  • Step 5: Use the stored solutions to build up the solution to the original complex problem.
