Briefly explain the approaches to develop algorithms

Question

Accepted Answer

Approaches to develop algorithms include divide and conquer, dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, and backtracking.

Divide and conquer: Break down a problem into smaller subproblems, solve them recursively, and combine the solutions.
Dynamic programming: Store the results of subproblems to avoid redundant calculations.
Greedy algorithms: Make a series of choices that are locally optimal at each step, with the hope of finding a global optimum.
Backtracking: Systematically search for a solution by trying all possibilities and backtracking when a dead end is reached.
