Introduction to Dynamic Programming: A Powerful Problem-Solving Technique
Dynamic programming (DP) is a bottom-up approach introduced by Richard Bellman in the 1950s. Similar to divide-and-conquer, DP breaks down complex problems into smaller subproblems, solving them methodically and storing solutions in a table for efficient computation. DP is widely used in optimizatio
