Question 1

What is the primary advantage of memoization?

  • It optimizes recursive calculations.
  • It complicates recursive functions.
  • It generates new pathfinding algorithms.

💡 Hint: Consider what happens when you need a result that has already been computed.

Question 2

True or False? Dynamic programming computes all possible solutions before storing results.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how dynamic programming builds solutions from smaller parts.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Determine the total number of paths in an 8x8 grid that has holes at (3,3) and (6,2). Use dynamic programming principles.

💡 Hint: Build your table row by row; how do you handle the holes?

Question 2

Construct a comparison chart of memoization versus dynamic programming detailing time complexity, situation applicability, and efficiency. Provide examples for each.

💡 Hint: Consider the advantages of structure vs. the recursive approach.
