Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Create a new algorithm for interval scheduling that selects bookings not only by finish time but also considers potential overlaps in a different way.
💡 Hint: Look into grouping similar bookings based on their time ranges.
Prove that your algorithm produces an optimal solution by comparing it with another known successful greedy algorithm.
💡 Hint: Case studies can help corroborate how different paths lead to the same positive end.
