Greedy Algorithms
Learn how greedy algorithms build solutions piece by piece by choosing the best immediate option. Understand the conditions where greedy methods ensure globally optimal results and recognize their limitations in problem solving. This lesson equips you with the foundational knowledge to apply greedy techniques effectively in coding interviews.

Greedy is an algorithmic paradigm that builds up a solution piece by piece; this means it chooses the next piece that offers the most obvious and immediate benefit. A Greedy algorithm, as the name implies, always makes the choice that seems to be the best at the time. It makes a locally-optimal choice in the hope that it will lead to a globally ...
