Chapter 4: Basic Algorithm Types

 

In the world of algorithms, there is a wide variety of options to choose from. Each type of algorithm has its own unique qualities, characteristics, and uses that make them an indispensable tool in a programmer's toolkit.

For instance, Divide and Conquer algorithms are known for their ability to break down complex problems into smaller, more manageable sub-problems. Greedy Algorithms, on the other hand, focus on making the locally optimal choice at each step with the hope of finding a global optimum.

Dynamic Programming algorithms are designed to solve problems by breaking them down into smaller sub-problems and storing the results of these sub-problems to avoid redundant computation. Finally, Brute Force Algorithms ...
