Question 1

Which characteristic of DP indicates that an optimal solution can be formed from smaller subproblems?

  • Overlapping Subproblems
  • Optimal Substructure
  • None of the Above

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember how small solutions contribute to the larger solution.

Question 2

True or False: Overlapping subproblems means that a problem can be solved by reusing results from previous computations.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of how solutions are stored in memory.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design an algorithm to solve a problem of your choice using dynamic programming. Describe the optimal substructure and overlapping subproblems for your problem.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Refer to any common dynamic programming problem.

Question 2

Given a series of choices for maximizing a profit based on constraints, express how optimal substructure aids in determining the maximal pathway and illustrate overlapping subproblems through examples.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider constraints that cause revisiting earlier decisions.
