Consider the following steps : S
1 : Characterize the structure of an optimal solution S
2 : Compute the value of an optimal solution in bottom-up fashion Which of the step(s) is/are common to both dynamic programming and greedy algorithms? S
Pick an option to check yourself, or open the answer below.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Only 1 S
Explanation
Both start by characterizing the structure of an optimal solution (optimal substructure). Computing values bottom-up is specific to dynamic programming.
