Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider the Fibonacci sequence. Create a DP solution using both memoization and tabulation to find the 10th Fibonacci number. Compare the time taken by both methods.

💡 Hint: Implement both methods and track the time taken for each.

Challenge 2 Hard

You are given an array of integers representing the values of items and a maximum weight capacity for a knapsack. Apply Dynamic Programming to solve the 0/1 Knapsack problem.

💡 Hint: Focus on the optimal substructure property for decision making.
