Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the context of dynamic programming, what does 'memoization' refer to?
  • Step 1: Understand that dynamic programming is a method for solving complex problems by breaking them down into simpler subproblems.
  • Step 2: Recognize that some of these subproblems may be solved multiple times during the process.
  • Step 3: Learn that memoization is a way to remember the results of these subproblems so that we don't have to solve them again.
  • Step 4: Realize that when we use memoization, we store the results in a data structure (like a dictionary or array).
  • Step 5: When we encounter the same subproblem again, we can simply look up the stored result instead of recalculating it.
  • Step 6: This saves time and makes our program more efficient.
