Greedy Algorithms
Explore how greedy algorithms build solutions by choosing the best immediate option, aiming for a global optimum. Learn the key properties like the greedy choice property and optimal substructure that make greedy methods effective in some problems. Understand the advantages and limitations of greedy algorithms to prepare for coding interviews in Java.

Greedy algorithms
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 optimal ...
