In the context of dynamic programming, what does the term 'overlapping subproblems' refer to?
  1. Problems that can be solved independently
  2. Problems that can be solved in constant time
  3. Problems that can be broken down into smaller subproblems that are reused
  4. Problems that require a greedy approach

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the context of dynamic programming, what does the term 'overlapping subproblems' refer to?
  • Step 1: Understand that some problems can be divided into smaller parts called subproblems.
  • Step 2: Recognize that in overlapping subproblems, the same subproblems are solved multiple times during the process.
  • Step 3: Realize that this repetition can make solving the overall problem inefficient.
  • Step 4: Learn that dynamic programming helps by storing the results of these subproblems, so they don't have to be solved again.
