Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In dynamic programming, what does the term 'state' refer to?
  • Step 1: Understand that dynamic programming is a method used to solve complex problems by breaking them down into simpler subproblems.
  • Step 2: Recognize that each of these simpler subproblems is called a 'state'.
  • Step 3: Realize that a 'state' represents a specific situation or configuration in the problem that we are trying to solve.
  • Step 4: Know that solving each 'state' helps us build up to the solution of the overall problem.
