Question: Which dynamic programming approach is used to solve the Coin Change problem?

Options:

  1. Top-down
  2. Bottom-up
  3. Greedy
  4. Brute force

Correct Answer: Bottom-up

Solution:

The Coin Change problem can be solved using a bottom-up dynamic programming approach, where solutions to smaller subproblems are built up to solve larger problems.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which dynamic programming approach is used to solve the Coin Change problem?
  • Step 1: Understand the Coin Change problem. It involves finding the number of ways to make a certain amount of money using different denominations of coins.
  • Step 2: Identify the smaller subproblems. For example, how many ways can you make change for smaller amounts using the available coins.
  • Step 3: Create a table (array) to store the number of ways to make change for each amount from 0 up to the target amount.
  • Step 4: Initialize the table. Set the number of ways to make change for 0 amount to 1 (there's one way to make 0 amount: use no coins).
  • Step 5: Loop through each coin denomination. For each coin, update the table for all amounts that can be formed using that coin.
  • Step 6: For each amount, add the number of ways to make change without the current coin to the number of ways to make change with the current coin.
  • Step 7: Continue this process until you fill the table for all amounts up to the target amount.
  • Step 8: The final value in the table for the target amount will give you the total number of ways to make change.
