Question 1

What does the term 'overlapping subproblems' refer to?

  • Problems that do not share subproblems.
  • Problems where the same smaller problems are solved multiple times.
  • Problems that are solved in a linear manner.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the efficiency aspect of DP.

Question 2

True or False: Memoization is only necessary for problems without overlapping subproblems.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how DP optimizes recursive solutions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a function that uses memoization to solve the 0/1 Knapsack problem, applying it to a dataset with given weights and values.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how you might decide whether to include an item based on its weight and value.

Question 2

How would you apply dynamic programming principles to the longest common subsequence problem? Provide a detailed explanation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what defines a subsequence versus a substring.
