Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have matrices A(2x3), B(3x4), and C(4x2). What is the most computationally efficient order to multiply them? Calculate the cost for each order.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Calculate the resulting sizes and their multipliers.

Question 2

Create a dynamic programming function to determine the optimal multiplication order for five matrices, given their dimensions: 10x30, 30x20, 20x40, 40x10, and 10x50. Determine the total number of multiplications needed.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Break the matrices down into smaller segments and track their resulting costs!
