Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the intervals (1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6), and associated weights of 3, 2, and 6 respectively, determine the optimal schedule using a dynamic programming approach.

💡 Hint: Break down the intervals into sub-problems and calculate the total weights.

Question 2

Devise a greedy algorithm for the weighted interval scheduling problem and analyze its efficiency compared to dynamic programming.

💡 Hint: Consider how choosing higher weights over finishing times may not always yield the best outcome.
