Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given four matrices of warm sizes A (10x20), B (20x30), C (30x40), and D (40x50), calculate the cost of multiplying them in every possible order and find the most efficient.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Keep track of both the computational costs and the structure of how matrices combine!

Question 2

Create a dynamic programming solution to calculate the optimal order for multiplying organizations of matrices and explain the rationale behind this design.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Analyzing costs recursively gives an edge to find minimum multiplications!
